Targeting tumors with nano-scale delivery systems shows promise to improve the therapeutic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, the limited specificity of current nano-scale systems for cancer tissues prevents realization of their full clinical potential. Here, we demonstrate an effective approach to creating as targeted nanocarriers for drug delivery: MIONPs coated with integrin-targeted and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) sensitive PEG hydrogel scaffolds. The functional PEG hydrogel coating has been designed for active loading as well as triggered intra-cellular release of the cancer therapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX). Our study demonstrated that coated nanocarriers could be taken into cancer cells 11 times more efficiently than uncoated ones. Furthermore, confocal laser scanning microscopy images revealed that these targeted nanocarriers could efficiently deliver and release DOX into the nuclei of HeLa cells within 2 h. Coating MIONPs with multifunctional PEG hydrogel could be a promising alternative to existing vehicles for targeted delivery of DOX into tumor tissue. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
