The critical process and step in achieving effective antitumor therapies is facilitating endosomal escape, which can enhance the intracellular target delivery of therapeutics. However, the normally adopted approaches tend to result in colloidal instability as a result of the inevitable interactions between the resulting positively charged surfaces of micelles and proteins in vivo. Herein, negatively charged surface shielded polymeric micelles, consisting of polymethylacrylamide derivatives and hydrophilic chitosan ( Mw = 18.8 kDa) linked by 3,3'-dithiodipropionic, are constructed. Until the pH decreases to less than 4.5, the DOX-loaded polymeric micelles (CSO-SS-PDPA/DOX) retain a negative surface charge as a result of the abundant amide groups, which could resist formation of the protein "corona" as visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Robust endosomal escape within tens of minutes due to protonated amine groups and specific redox-responsive drug release is visualized by confocal microscopy. The superior therapeutic efficacy in both 3D tumor spheroids and MCF-7 bearing mice further suggested that the prepared CSO-SS-PDPA/DOX is a promising approach for maintaining colloidal stability while achieving intracellular endosomal/lysosomal escape, which opens new opportunities for drug delivery.
