Stimuli-responsive charge-reversal MOF@polymer hybrid nanocomposites for enhanced co-delivery of chemotherapeutics towards combination therapy of multidrug-resistant cancer
Abstract
Combination chemotherapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment in clinics especially when multidrug-resistant cancer is emerging. One significant challenge remains in achieving sufficient multi-drug delivery into tumor cells to maximize the synergetic therapeutic effect, as it is hard to concentrate drugs in drug-resistant cancer. Therefore herein, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based polymer-coated hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were devised and constructed for the co-delivery of doxorubicin and cisplatin to enhance combination therapy of multidrug-resistant cancer. The MOF@polymer nanocarrier combined the merits of high multi-drug loading capacity, physiological stability, and tumor microenvironment pH-responsiveness, facilitating simultaneous delivery of drugs into cancer cells and making the most of synergistic antitumor effect. Remarkably, this hybrid nanocarrier maintains a negative surface charge during circulation to guarantee a stable and prolonged process in vivo, and then exposes inner positive MOF after degradation of the outer polymer in the acidic tumor microenvironment to promote multi-drug release, cellular internalization, nuclear localization, and tumor penetration. In vitro and in vivo studies with drug-resistant MCF-7/ADR cancer suggested that the nanocarrier could achieve increased accumulation of drugs in solid tumors, remarkable tumor elimination results as well as minimized side effects, indicating an improved efficacy and safety of combination chemo…

“In 3D drug-resistant tumor spheroids, this platform showed markedly deeper intratumoral fluorescence, with confocal z-stack signals observable to ~ 120 µm depth (vs largely peripheral signal in the free-DOX control), supporting a penetration advantage under identical imaging settings.”

In the citing paper
“Consistent with this, ex vivo organ/tumor fluorescence quantification showed higher tumor-associated signal for the nanoparticle group (tumor ~ 21.0%) while free DOX distributed predominantly to off-target organs (e.g., liver, kidney, lung), providing a second quantitative proxy for more tumor-localized exposure.”

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.
