Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most fatal malignancies due to
the existence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the difficulty to maintain an
effective drug accumulation in deep GBM lesions. Here we present a biomimetic
nanogel system that can be precisely activated by near infrared (NIR)
irradiation to achieve BBB crossing and deep tumor penetration of drugs.
Synthesized by crosslinking pullulan and poly(deca-4,6-diynedioic acid)
(PDDA) and loaded with temozolomide and indocyanine green (ICG), the
nanogels are inert to endogenous oxidative conditions but can be selectively
disintegrated by ICG-generated reactive oxygen species upon NIR irradiation.
Camouflaging the nanogels with apolipoprotein E peptide-decorated erythrocyte
membrane further allows prolonged blood circulation and active
tumor targeting. The precisely controlled NIR irradiation on tumor lesions
excites ICG and deforms the cumulated nanogels to trigger burst drug release
for facilitated BBB permeation and infiltration into distal tumor cells. These
NIR-activatable biomimetic nanogels suppress the tumor growth in orthotopic
GBM and GBM stem cells-bearingmouse models with significantly extended
survival.
