Engineered platelet cell motors for boosted cancer radiosensitization
Abstract
Design of engineered cells to target and deliver nanodrugs to the hard-to-reach regions has become an exciting research area. However, the limited penetration and retention of cell-based carriers in tumor tissue restricted their therapeutic efficiency. Inspired by the enhanced delivery behavior of mobile micro/nanomotors, herein, urease-powered platelet cell motors (PLT@Au@Urease) capable of active locomotion, tumor targeting, and radiosensitizers delivery were designed for boosting radiosensitization. The engineered platelet cell motors were constructed by in situ synthesis and loading of radiosensitizers gold nanoparticles in platelets, and then conjugation with urease as the engine. Under physiological concentration of urea, thrust around PLT@Au@Urease motors can be generated via the biocatalytic reactions of urease, leading to rapid tumor cell targeting and enhanced cellular uptake of radiosensitizers. Encouragingly, in comparison with engineered PLT without propulsion capability (PLT@Au), the self-propelled PLT@Au@Urease motors could significantly increase intracellular ROS level and exacerbate nuclear DNA damage induced by γ-radiation, resulting in a remarkably high sensitization enhancement rate (1.89) than that of PLT@Au (1.08). In vivo experiments with 4 T1-bearing mice demonstrated that PLT@Au@Urease in combination with radiation therapy possessed good antitumor performance. Such an intelligent cell motor would provide a promising approach to enhance radiosensitizat…

In the citing paper
“In physiological urea they transitioned from Brownian diffusion (D ~ 0.03 μm2 s⁻1) to about 2.5 μm2 s⁻1, doubled cancer-cell uptake versus static PLT@Au, and in 4T1 tumors a single intratumoral dose plus 4 Gy γ-irradiation raised the sensitization enhancement rate to 1.89 (vs. 1.08 for passive PLT@Au), producing the largest 14-day tumor weight reduction without extra toxicity [63].”

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.
