| Summary: | Drug resistance is accountable for the inadequate outcome of chemotherapy in clinics. The newly emerging role of nitric oxide (NO) to conquer drug resistance has been recognized as a potential strategy. However, it remains a great challenge to realize targeted delivery as well as accurate release of NO at desired sites. Herein, we developed a PEGylated indocyanine green (mPEG-ICG) integrated nanovesicle system (PIDA) to simultaneously load doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX⋅HCl) and the NO donor L-arginine (L-Arg), which can produce NO triggered by NIR light irradiation and exert multimodal therapy to sensitize drug-resistant cancers. Upon 808 nm irradiation, the NO released from PIDA led to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, an increase in ROS and significant ATP depletion in K562/ADR cells, thus inhibiting cell growth and resolving the problem of drug resistance. Consequently, the in vivo experiment on K562/ADR-bearing nude mice indicated that PIDA nanovesicles achieved significant anticancer efficacy with a tumor inhibition rate of 80.8%. Above all, PIDA nanovesicles offer guidance for designing nanoplatforms for drug-resistant cancer treatment. |
