Abstract

Tumors progression is usually characterized by proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, and it leads to uncontrolled tissue growth and blocks the mechanism of apoptosis. Therefore, targeted angiogenesis and anti-apoptosis is considered promising therapeutic strategy for cancer prevention and treatment. Herein, we report a versatile and intelligent MnO2-PEI-DNAzymes (MnPDs) nanodevice for self-sufficient anti-tumor angiogenesis and pro-apoptosis synergistic gene silencing, coupling multi-target bimodal in situ imaging. Intracellularly, the multifunctional charge-reversal MnPDs undergo reduction and lysis by the overexpressed GSH, actualizing enhanced MR imaging and sufficient DNAzyme cofactors in tumor tissue, and enabling miRNA-155 and telomerase biomarkers dual-fluorescence imaging. Under the precise multimodal imaging, the dual DNAzymes enable self-sufficient Early growth response-1 (EGR1) and Survivin (SUR) mRNAs synergistic silencing, effectively inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and anti-apoptotic. Considering that accurate and efficient therapy has become a trend in cancer therapy, our proposed self-sustaining multifunctional nanodevice is promising for broad clinical applications.
