Neutrophil-Mediated Delivery of Nanocrystal Drugs via Photoinduced Inflammation Enhances Cancer Therapy

The efficient delivery of anticancer agents into tumor microenvironments is critical for the success of cancer therapies, but it is a prerequisite that drug carriers should overcome tumor vasculature and possess high drug contents. Here, we found that photoinduced inflammation response caused the migration of neutrophils into tumor microenvironments and neutrophils transported neutrophil-targeted nanoparticles (NPs) across the tumor blood barrier. The results showed that tumor delivery efficiencies of NPs were 5% ID/g, and they were independent of particle sizes (30-200 nm) and their doses (10
