Detachable Dual-Targeting Nanoparticles for Improving the Antitumor Effect by Extracellular Matrix Depletion
Abstract
In the tumor microenvironment (TME), the extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) forms a dense barrier that prevents nanodrugs from penetrating into deep tumor sites, leading to unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. Recently, it has been found that ECM depletion and using small-sized nanoparticles are effective strategies. Herein, we reported a detachable dual-targeting nanoparticle (HA-DOX@GNPs-Met@HFn) based on reducing ECM for enhancing penetration. When these nanoparticles reached the tumor site, the nanoparticles were divided into two parts in response to matrix metalloproteinase-2 overexpressed in TME, causing a decrease in the nanoparticle size from about 124 to 36 nm. One part was Met@HFn, which was detached from the surface of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs), which effectively targeted tumor cells and released metformin (Met) under acidic conditions. Then, Met downregulated the expression of the transforming growth factor β by the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase pathway to inhibit the activity of CAFs, thereby suppressing the production of ECM including α-smooth muscle actin and collagen I. The other was the small-sized hyaluronic acid-modified doxorubicin prodrug with autonomous targeting ability, which was gradually released from GNPs and internalized into deeper tumor cells. Intracellular hyaluronidases triggered the release of doxorubicin (DOX), which killed tumor cells by inhibiting DNA synthesis. The combination o…

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.
