This study introduces a promising treatment strategy for the adverse tumor hypoxic microenvironment, aiming at simultaneously relieving the strained response of tumor cells and blood vessels to reconstruct a tumor normoxic microenvironment, leading to significant therapeutic effects.
The tumor hypoxic microenvironment not only induces genetic and epigenetic changes in tumor cells, immature vessels formation for oxygen demand, but also compromises the efficiency of therapeutic interventions. On the other hand, conventional therapeutic approaches which kill tumor cells or destroy tumor blood vessels to block nutrition and oxygen supply usually facilitate even harsher microenvironment. Thus, simultaneously relieving the strained response of tumor cells and blood vessels represents a promising strategy to reverse the adverse tumor hypoxic microenvironment. In the present study, an integrated amphiphilic system (RSCD) is designed based on Angiotensin II receptor blocker candesartan for siRNA delivery against the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), aiming at both vascular and cellular relaxation to reconstruct a tumor normoxic microenvironment. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have confirmed that the hypoxia-inducible HIF-1 alpha expression is down-regulated by 70% and vascular growth is inhibited by 60%. The relaxation therapy enables neovascularization with more complete and organized structures to obviously increase the oxygen level inside tumor, which results in a 50% growth inhibition. Moreover, reconstruction of tumor microenvironment enhances tumor-targeted drug delivery, and significantly improves the chemotherapeutic and photodynamic anticancer treatments.
