An erythrocyte membrane-modified biomimetic synergistic nanosystem for cancer anti-vascular therapy and initial efficacy monitoring

Abstract

Tumor vascular disruption has become a promising strategy for cancer therapy in recent decades. Nanocomposites loaded with therapeutic materials and drugs are expected to improve the accuracy of anti-vascular therapy and minimize side effects. However, how to prolong blood circulation of therapeutic nanocomposites for enhanced accumulation in tumor vasculature and how to monitor the initial efficacy of anti-vascular therapy for early evaluation of prognosis remain unsolved. Herein, a biomimetic nanosystem consisting of erythrocyte membrane modified nanocomposites (CMNCs) is developed for cooperation to achieve anti-vascular cancer therapy and initial efficacy monitoring. By utilizing poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as the interface material, functional nanomaterials and drug molecules are successfully integrated into CMNCs. The long circulation and immune escape features of the erythrocyte membrane facilitate CMNCs loaded with photothermal agents and chemodrugs to be delivered to the tumor region for anti-vascular treatment. Furthermore, the vascular damage-induced haemorrhage and the following coagulation process is labelled by near infrared emissive CMNCs to indicate the initial therapeutic efficacy of the treatment. This work not only points to a biomimetic strategy for conquering the challenges in anti-vascular cancer therapy, but also provides insights into the biological responses of erythrocyte membrane modified nanocomposites to exploit their biomedical applications.
