The toxic side effects of systemic high-dose chemotherapy and poor sensitivity to radiotherapy hinder the survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma (OS). Nanotechnology offers new solutions for OS treatment; however, conventional nanocarriers suffer from inadequate targeting of tumors and short circulation time. Here, we designed a novel drug delivery system, [Dbait-ADM@ZIF-8]OPM, which uses OS-platelet hybrid membranes to encapsulate nanocarriers, to enhance the targeting and circulation time of nanocarriers, thereby enabling high enrichment of the nanocarriers in OS sites. In the tumor microenvironment, the pH-sensitive nanocarrier, which is the metal-organic framework ZIF-8, dissociates to release radiosensitizer Dbait and the classical chemotherapeutic agent Adriamycin for the integrated treatment of OS radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Benefiting from the excellent targeting ability of the hybrid membrane and the outstanding drug loading capacity of the nanocarrier, [Dbait-ADM@ZIF-8]OPM showed potent anti-tumor effects in tumor-bearing mice with almost no significant biotoxicity. Overall, this project is a successful exploration of the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy of OS treatment. Our findings solve the problems of the insensitivity of OS to radiotherapy and the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Furthermore, this study is an expansion of the research of OS nanocarriers and provides new potential treatments for OS.
全身大剂量化疗的毒副作用以及对放疗的低敏感性阻碍了骨肉瘤(OS)患者的生存率。纳米技术为骨肉瘤治疗提供了新的解决方案;然而,传统的纳米载体存在肿瘤靶向性不足和循环时间短的问题。在此,我们设计了一种新型药物递送系统[Dbait-ADM@ZIF-8]OPM,它利用骨肉瘤-血小板混合膜包裹纳米载体,以增强纳米载体的靶向性和循环时间,从而使纳米载体在骨肉瘤部位高度富集。在肿瘤微环境中,对pH敏感的纳米载体(即金属有机框架ZIF-8)解离,释放放射增敏剂Dbait和经典化疗药物阿霉素,用于骨肉瘤放疗和化疗的联合治疗。得益于混合膜出色的靶向能力和纳米载体卓越的载药能力,[Dbait-ADM@ZIF-8]OPM在荷瘤小鼠中显示出强大的抗肿瘤作用,且几乎没有明显的生物毒性。总体而言,该项目是骨肉瘤治疗中放疗与化疗联合应用的一次成功探索。我们的研究结果解决了骨肉瘤对放疗不敏感以及化疗毒副作用的问题。此外,本研究扩展了骨肉瘤纳米载体的研究,为骨肉瘤提供了新的潜在治疗方法。
