Abstract
Postoperative radiotherapy currently stands as the cornerstone of glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. Nevertheless, low-dose radiotherapy has been proven ineffective for GBM, due to hypoxia in the GBM microenvironment, which renders the resistance to radiation-induced cell death. Moreover, the overexpression of the PLK1 gene in glioma cells enhances GBM proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to radiation. This study introduced a hybrid membrane-camouflaged biomimetic lipid nanosensitizer (CNL@miPA), which efficiently encapsulated gold nanoclusters (PA) and miR-593-5p by a chimeric membrane derived from lipids, cancer cells, and natural killer cells. CNL@miPA exhibited exceptional blood-brain barrier and tumor tissue penetration, effectively ameliorating hypoxia and synergizing with radiotherapy. By enabling prolonged miRNA circulation in the bloodstream and achieving high enrichment at the tumor site, CNL@miPA significantly suppressed tumor growth in combination treatment, thereby significantly extending the survival period of treated mice. Overall, the developed biomimetic nanosensitizer represented an efficient and multifunctional targeted delivery system, offering a novel strategy for gene-radiotherapy of GBM.
