▎ 摘  要

Dual-targeted delivery of drugs and energy by nanohybrids can potentially alleviate side effects and improve the unique features required for precision medicine. To realize this aim, however, the hybrids which are often rapidly removed from circulation and the piled up tumors periphery near the blood vessels must address the difficulties in low blood half-lives and tumor penetration. In this study, a sponge-inspired carbon composites-supported red blood cell (RBC) membrane that doubles as a stealth agent and photolytic carrier that transports tumor-penetrative agents (graphene quantum dots and docetaxel (GQDD)) and heat with irradiation was developed. The RBC-membrane enveloped nanosponge (RBC@NS) integrated to a targeted protein that accumulates in tumor spheroids via high lateral bilayer fluidity exhibits an 8-fold increase in accumulation compared to the NS. Penetrative delivery of GQDs to tumor sites is actuated by near-infrared irradiation through a one-atom-thick structure, facilitating penetration and drug delivery deep into the tumor tissue. The synergy of chemotherapy and photolytic effects was delivered by the theranostic GQDs deep into tumors, which effectively damaged and inhibited the tumor in 21 days when treated with a single irradiation. This targeted RBC@GQD-D/NS with the capabilities of enhanced tumor targeting, NIRinduced drug penetration into tumors, and thermal ablation for photolytic therapy promotes tumor suppression and exhibits potential for other biomedical applications.
