Delivery of therapeutics into the solid tumor microenvironment is a major challenge for cancer nanomedicine. Administration of certain exogenous enzymes which deplete tumor stromal components has been proposed as a method to improve drug delivery. Here we present a protein-free collagen depletion strategy for drug delivery into solid tumors, based on activating endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and -2) using nitric oxide (NO). Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were loaded with a chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin (DOX) as well as a NO donor (S-nitrosothiol) to create DN@MSN. The loaded NO results in activation of MMPs which degrade collagen in the tumor extracellular matrix. Administration of DN@MSN resulted in enhanced tumor penetration of both the nanovehicle and cargo (DOX), leading to significantly improved antitumor efficacy with no overt toxicity observed.
