Development of Multifunctional Clay-Based Nanomedicine for Elimination of Primary Invasive Breast Cancer and Prevention of Its Lung Metastasis and Distant Inoculation
Cancer recurrence and metastasis are worldwide challenges but current bimodular strategies such as combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CTX), and photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy have succeeded only in some limited cases. Thus in the present study, a multifunctional nanomedicine has been rationally designed via elegantly integrating three FDA-approved therapeutics, that is, indocyanine green (for PTT), doxorubicin (for CTX), and CpG (for immunotherapy) into the structure of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles, aiming to completely prevent the recurrence and metastasis of invasive breast cancer. This multifunctional hybrid nanomedicine has been demonstrated to eliminate the primary tumor and efficiently prevent tumor recurrence and lung metastasis through combined PTT/CTX and induction of specific and strong immune responses mediated by the hybrid nanomedicine in a 4T1 breast cancer mouse model. Furthermore, the promoted in situ immunity has significantly inhibited the growth of reinoculated distant tumors. Altogether, our multifunctional LDH-based nanomedicine has showed an excellent efficacy in invasive cancer treatment using much lower doses of three FDA-approved therapeutics, providing a preclinical/clinical alternative to cost-effectively treat invasive breast cancer.
