Clinical success of cancer radiotherapy is usually impeded by a combination of two factors, i.e., insufficient DNA damage and rapid DNA repair during and after treatment, respectively. Existing strategies for optimizing the radiotherapeutic efficacy often focus on only one facet of the issue, which may fail to function in the long term trials. Herein, we report a DNA-dual-targeting approach for enhanced cancer radiotherapy using a hierarchical multiplexing nanodroplet, which can simultaneously promote DNA lesion formation and prevent subsequent DNA damage repair. Specifically, the ultrasmall gold nanoparticles encapsulated in the liquid nanodroplets can concentrate the radiation energy and induce dramatic DNA damage as evidenced by the enhanced formation of gamma-H2AX foci as well as in vivo tumor growth inhibition. Additionally, the ultrasound triggered burst release of oxygen may relieve tumor hypoxia and fix the DNA radical intermediates produced by ionizing radiation, prevent DNA repair, and eventually result in cancer death. Finally, the nanodroplet platform is compatible with fluorescence, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging techniques, allowing for real-time in vivo imaging-guided precision radiotherapy in an EMT-6 tumor model with significantly enhanced treatment efficacy. Our DNA-dual-targeting design of simultaneously enhancing DNA damage and preventing DNA repair presents an innovative strategy to effective cancer radiotherapy.
