Tumor‐Specific Self‐Degradable Nanogels as Potential Carriers for Systemic Delivery of Anticancer Proteins
Abstract
Development of a safe and effective carrier for systemic protein delivery is highly desirable, which depends on management of the relationship among loading capacity, stability, delivery efficiency, and degradability. Here, a tumor‐specific self‐degradable nanogel composed of hyaluronidase (HAase)‐degradable hyaluronic acid (HA) matrices entrapping acid‐activatable HAase (aHAase) for systemic delivery of anticancer proteins is reported. Collaboratively crosslinked nanogels (cNG) obtained by the synthetic cholesteryl methacrylated HA show high protein‐loading capacity and stability. The aHAase is engineered by modifying the HAase with citraconic anhydride to shield its HA‐degrading activity, which can be reversibly activated by hydrolysis of the citraconic amide under acidic condition. In the tumor microenvironment, the mild acidity activates the aHAase partially, which results in swelling of the cNG and releasing of the aHAase. The released reactivated aHAase can degrade the HA that is also a major constituent of tumor extracellular matrix to increase perfusion of the cNG in the tumor stroma. In the acidic endocytic vesicles, the aHAase is fully reactivated. The active aHAase completely degrades the cNG to release the encapsulated anticancer protein, deoxyribonuclease I intracellularly, which digests the DNA to cause tumor cell death for enhanced antitumor efficacy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
