The effective chemotherapy of cancer is usually hindered by the unsatisfied cell internalization of the drug delivery systems (DDS) as well as drug resistance of cancer cells. In order to solve these dilemmas in one design, red blood cell membrane (RBM)-coated silica nanoparticles (RS) were fabricated to codeliver doxorubicin (Dox) and indocyanine green (ICG) to effectively treat the model lung cancer using photothermal-assisted chemotherapy. Our results demonstrated that the RS/I-D was the nanoparticle at around 100 nm with superior stability and biocompatibility. Especially, the photothermal effects of ICG were well preserved and could be applied to accelerate the drug release from the DDS. More importantly, the RBM modification can mediate enhanced cell internalization of drugs as compared to their free forms, which finally resulted in enhanced anticancer efficacy in Dox-resistant A549 cells (A549/Dox) both in vitro and in vivo with enhanced cell apoptosis and cell arrest.
