| Description | Background: Drug delivery systems (DDS) capable of targeting both cell and organelle levels are highly desirable for effective cancer therapy. In this study, we developed a novel enzyme-responsive, multistage-targeted anticancer DDS based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which possessed both CD44-targeting and mitochondrial-targeting properties. Materials and methods: Triphenylphosphine (TPP), a mitochondria-targeting compound, was grafted onto the surface of MSNs firstly. Then, Doxorubicin (Dox) was encapsulated into the pore of MSNs, followed by capping with tumor-targeting molecules hyaluronic acid (HA) through electrostatic interactions to form the final product consist of Dox loaded, TPP attached, HA capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-DPH). Results: Our results suggested that MSN-DPH was preferentially taken up by cancer cells via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis. Moreover, MSN-DPH mainly accumulated in mitochondria owing to the mitochondrial-targeting ability of TPP. Degradation of HA by overexpressed HAase facilitated the release of Dox in cancer cells. Thus, MSN-DPH efficiently killed the cancer cells while exhibited much lower cytotoxicity to normal cells. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a promising multistage-targeted DDS for cancer chemotherapy. |
