Insufficient drug accumulation at tumor sites is one of the key factors leading to treatment failure in breast cancer (BC), and developing a chemotherapeutic delivery system that can improve immune microenvironment expand benefits immunochemotherapy for BC remains challenge. To increase efficacy by extending retention site, we developed pH-responsive peptide modified with PHSCN sequence (Pep1) self-assembles form spherical DM/Pep1 nanoparticles after encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) metformin (MET). In acidic microenvironment, nanocarriers transform into aggregates high aspect ratio, facilitating DOX MET release combined chemotherapy immunomodulation. cellular experiments, this construct provided prolonged cells. subcutaneous mouse model, exhibited superior inhibition effect compared free DOX/MET. The nanocomplex upregulated CD4, induced calreticulin (CRT) exposure, downregulated PD-L1, enhanced MET-mediated antitumor response. use nanocarrier morphological transformation offers promising strategy therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a challenging cancer to treat due its high malignancy, strong invasiveness, and risk of metastasis. Inhibiting lymphatic metastasis in the early stages crucial for HCC therapy. Active targeted drug delivery systems, imbued with tumor targeting capability via ligand–receptor mediation, represent promising therapeutic strategy. Cantharidin (CTD), primary effective component poisonous traditional Chinese medicine (PTCM) Mylabris, has unique effects on HCC. However, toxicity limits clinical application. In this study, based expression vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1) peritumoral vessels glycyrrhetinic acid receptor (GA-R) hepatocellular cells, we developed CTD-loaded poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles modified (GA)–hyaluronic (HA) copolymers (GA-HA-PLGA/CTD NPs) through electrostatic interactions. This nanoparticle platform could preferentially accumulate cargo into tumors vessels, increasing accumulation lymph nodes while decreasing other organs, particularly heart kidney. As result, it enhance antitumor efficacy inhibit better than PLGA/CTD NPs also reducing systemic toxicity. Furthermore, variation HA molecular weights degrees GA substitution regulate distribution within nodes. Overall, GA-HA-PLGA/CTD exhibit potential as approach treatment inhibition, providing strategy application PTCMs treatment.
