DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201503323 single emulsion method and cross-linked by an acid-degradable cross-linker.[10] The platelet membranes are derived from platelets and purified to coat the surface of NV. Equipped with large numbers of “self-recognized” proteins, PM-NV is expected to minimize the in vivo immunogenicity and prolong the circulation time.[11] More importantly, the overexpressed P-Selectin on the PM can specifically bind to CD44 receptors upregulated on the surface of cancer cells. Taken together, we hypothesized that the PM-NV could actively target at tumor site and sequentially deliver anticancer therapeutics to their most active destinations. To demonstrate our hypothesis, we loaded two anticancer therapeutics––tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) and doxorubicin (Dox)—into PM-NV (designated TRAIL-Dox-PM-NV). As one of the most important extracellular activators of apoptosis, TRAIL induces apoptosis of tumor cells by binding to the death receptors (DR4, DR5) on the cell surface;[12] while Dox can intercalate the nuclear DNA of cancer cells to trigger the intrinsic apoptosis signaling pathway.[13]After intravenous (iv) injection, the PM-NVs are expected to accumulate in the tumor site by combination of the passive enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect [14] and active targeting based on the affinity between PM and overexpressed CD44 receptors on the cancer cells (Figure 1 b). Meanwhile, the aggregation of PM-NV on the surface of cancer cells enabled by capture ability of P-Selectin could facilitate the interaction between TRAIL and cell membranes, and subsequently initiation of extrinsic apoptosis signaling. Additionally, the affinity of P-Selectin and CD44 is also expected to readily eliminate CTCs (Figure 1 b), which plays a vital role in tumor metastasis.[15] After cellular internalization, the acidity in the endolysosome is expected to digest the acid-responsive modality in the PM-NV, accompanied by the release of encapsulated Dox, which will accumulate in the nuclei of cancer cells for synergistically inducing apoptosis.
