A tumor microenvironment-responsive drug delivery system was constructed and combined with doxorubicin for tumor therapy. The system effectively utilized the advantages of photothermal effect to kill tumor cells, release of DOX, and ICD effect to activate host immune response against tumors.
Chemotherapy drugs play important roles in clinical treatment, and most first-line regimens of cancer therapy contain chemotherapy drugs. In particular, some chemotherapeutic drugs can also produce ICD effect and enhance the immune response of the body. However, most chemotherapy drugs do not specifically target tumors or the complex tumor microenvironment, which renders their curative effect insufficient. Therefore, we constructed a tumor microenvironment-responsive drug delivery system (Ag2S-PAsp-cRGD) combined with doxorubicin (DOX) for tumor therapy. Firstly, Ag2S nanoparticles (NPs) were modified with polymer aspartic acid (PAsp) to construct the drug-loading platform. Then, an active targeting ligand (cRGD) was coupled through an amide reaction to enhance the functional targeting ability of the drug delivery system. In vivo imaging of the system showed that the nanoparticles accumulated in the tumor site, which facilitated the delivery of the chemotherapy drug DOX to the targeted tumor site. Furthermore, the photothermal effect of Ag2S NPs can effectively killed tumor cells, and also helped the release of DOX from nanoparticles into tumor tissue, thus enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect. Moreover, combined with the ICD effect jointly induced by photothermal therapy (PTT) and DOX, the treatment further activated the host immune response against tumors by enhancing the presentation of antigens and promoting the differentiation of T cells. This strategy of photo-chemoimmunotherapy showed excellent antitumor effect, not only eliminating the primary tumor but also preventing recurrence and inhibiting metastasis.
