摘要

The delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) into solid tumours is challenged by the tumour vascular basement membrane (BM), a critical barrier beneath the endothelium with robust mechanical properties resistant to conventional treatments. Here we propose an approach that uses nitric oxide (NO) to induce the opening of endothelial junctions, creating gaps between endothelial cells and enabling the navigation of NPs through these gaps. Subsequently, NO orchestrates a transient degradation of the BM encasing NP pools in a precise, localized action, allowing the enhanced passage of NPs into the tumour interstitial space through explosive eruptions. We have engineered a NO nanogenerator tailored for near-infrared laser-triggered on-demand NO release at tumour sites. Through breaching the BM barrier, this system results in an increase of clinical nanomedicines within the tumour, boosting the tumour suppression efficacy in both mouse and rabbit models. This approach delicately manages BM degradation, avoiding excessive degradation that might facilitate cancer metastasis. Our NO nanogenerator serves as a precise spatial catalytic degradation strategy for breaching the tumour vascular BM barrier, holding promise for NP delivery into non-tumour diseases.
