摘要

Breast cancer brain metastases(BCBMs)are one of the most difficult malignancies to treat due to the intracranial location and multifocal growth.Chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy are extremely ineffective for BCBMs due to the inept brain accumulation because of the formidable blood-brain barrier(BBB).Accumulation studies prove that low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1(LRP1)is promising target for BBB transcytosis.However,as the primary clearance receptor for amyloid beta and tissue plasminogen activator,LRP1 at abluminal side of BBB can clear LRP1-targeting thera-peutics.Matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP1)is highly enriched in metastatic niche to promote growth of BCBMs.Herein,it is reported that nanoparticles(NPs-K-s-A)tethered with MMP1-sensitive fusion pep-tide containing HER2-targeting K and LRP1-targeting angiopep-2(A),can surmount the BBB and escape LRP1-mediated clearance in metastatic niche.NPs-K-s-A revealed infinitely superior brain accumulation to angiopep-2-decorated NPs-A in BCBMs bearing mice,while comparable brain accumulation in normal mice.The delivered doxorubicin and lapatinib synergistically inhibit BCBMs growth and prolongs survival of mice bearing BCBMs.Due to the efficient BBB penetration,special and remarkable clearance escape,and facilitated therapeutic outcome,the fusion peptide-based drug delivery strategy may serve as a potential approach for clinical management of BCBMs.
