We designed, for the first time, an enzyme-triggered drug and gene codelivery system combining hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) with enzyme degradable poly(L-lysine) (PLL) polymer to form HMS/PLL particles driven by electrostatic interaction between negatively charged gene and positively charged PLL polymer on the drug-loaded HMS particles. Fluorescein and cytosine-phosphodiester-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) were used as the model drug and gene, and the loading and the layer-by-layer assembly were evaluated by UV/vis analysis, zeta potential measurement, and gel electrophoresis. The fluorescein and CpG ODN loading capacities of the MFHMS/(CpG/PLL)(3) particles were 28.8 and 97.1 mu g/mg, respectively. Importantly, in vitro release results showed that the MFHMS/(CpG/PLL)(3) particles exhibited an enzyme-triggered controlled release of fluorescein and CpG ODN simultaneously in the alpha-chymotrypsin solution, and the release rates of fluorescein and CpG ODN could also be controlled by changing the enzyme concentration. Therefore, this system has the advantages of both enzyme-triggered controlled release and codelivery of drug and gene and would have potential and promising applications in the field of biomedicine and cancer therapy.
