摘要

Purpose

Hollow manganese dioxide (HMnO2) nanoparticles offer significant potential for biomedical and biosensing applications. This study presents a pH- and glutathione (GSH) responsive biodegradable HMnO₂-based drug delivery system designed to enhance chemodynamic therapy through targeted drug release.

Methods

HMnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized with high doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) loading efficiency. The DOX-loaded HMnO2 was coated with macrophage cell membranes (MCM) to improve biocompatibility. A MUC1-targeting DNA aptamer was conjugated to develop the Apt-HMnO2-DOX-MCM construct. In vitro, assays evaluated DOX release under acidic and elevated GSH conditions and assessed Fenton-like catalytic activity. In vivo, efficacy was tested in B16F0 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities were also investigated.

Results

HMnO2 nanoparticles demonstrated a high DOX encapsulation efficiency of 94% ± 2.8 and a loading content of 38% ± 1.1. Apt-HMnO2-DOX-MCM significantly increased cytotoxicity cellular uptake and inhibited colony formation and migration in MUC1-overexpressing B16F0 cells. In vivo studies showed marked tumor size reduction compared to non-targeted controls. Both Apt-HMnO2-DOX-MCM and HMnO2-DOX-MCM functioned effectively as T1- and T2-weighted MRI contrast agents.

Conclusion

The Apt-HMnO2-DOX-MCM construct represents a promising biocompatible theranostic platform that combines targeted drug delivery with diagnostic imaging to potentiate chemodynamic cancer therapy.
