Nanomedicines for combining chemotherapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) have enormous potential in squamous cell carcinoma treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of noninvasive SDT is severely limited because the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by sonosensitizers is highly dependent on the levels of intracellular excess glutathione (GSH) in the tumor cells. To overcome this barrier, a red blood cell (RBC) membrane-camouflaged nanomedicine consisting of GSH-sensitive polyphosphoester (SS-PPE) and ROS-sensitive polyphosphoester (S-PPE) was designed for the simultaneous delivery of the sonosensitizer hematoporphyrin (HMME) and chemotherapeutic agent docetaxel (DTXL) for effectively enhanced antitumor efficacy. and studies demonstrated that HMME-driven ROS generation under ultrasound (US) inhibited SCC7 cell proliferation and accelerated DTXL release to further kill tumor cells the hydrophobic-hydrophilic transition of the nanoparticle core. Meanwhile, the disulfide bond of SS-PPE effectively consumes GSH to prevent ROS consumption. This biomimetic nanomedicine provides GSH depletion and amplified ROS generation capabilities to achieve a novel synergistic chemo-SDT strategy for squamous cell carcinomas.
用于联合化疗和声动力学疗法 (SDT) 的纳米药物在鳞状细胞癌治疗中有巨大的潜力。然而,非侵入性 SDT 的治疗效果受到严重限制,因为声敏剂产生的活性氧 (ROS) 高度依赖于肿瘤细胞内细胞内多余谷胱甘肽 (GSH) 的水平。为了克服这一障碍,设计了一种由 GSH 敏感的聚磷酸酯 (SS-PPE) 和 ROS 敏感的聚磷酸酯 (S-PPE) 组成的红细胞 (RBC) 膜伪装纳米药物,用于同时递送声敏剂血卟啉 (HMME) 和化疗药物多西他赛 (DTXL),以有效增强抗肿瘤功效。体内和体外研究表明,超声 (US) 驱动下 HMME 产生的 ROS 抑制 SCC7 细胞增殖并加速 DTXL 释放以进一步杀死肿瘤细胞。这是由于纳米颗粒核心的疏水性-亲水性转变。同时,SS-PPE 的二硫键有效地消耗 GSH 以防止 ROS 消耗。这种仿生纳米药物提供了 GSH 耗竭和放大 ROS 生成能力,以实现鳞状细胞癌的新型协同化疗-SDT 策略。
