    Abstract:
    Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the urinary system worldwide. The poor permeability and uncontrollable release of drug and hypoxia of tumor tissues were the main reasons leading to poor therapeutic effect of chemo-photodynamic therapy for bladder cancer. To solve the above problems, a tumor-targeting peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) modified platinum nanozyme (PtNP) co-loaded glutathione (GSH)-responsive prodrug nanoparticles (PTX-SS-HPPH/Pt@RGD-NP) was constructed. Firstly, a GSH-responsive prodrug (PTX-SS-HPPH) was prepared by introducing a disulfide bond between paclitaxel (PTX) and photosensitizer 2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH), which could realize the GSH-responsive release of the drug at the tumor sites. Also, the distearoylphosphoethanolamine-poly (ethylene glycol)-RGD peptide (DSPE-PEG-RGD) modified the prodrug to enhance the targeting and permeability ability to bladder cancer cells. Besides, to alleviate the hypoxia of tumor tissues, PtNP was introduced to produce oxygen (O2) and improve photodynamic therapy efficiency. The results showed that the PTX-SS-HPPH/Pt@RGD-NP could achieve GSH-responsive drug release in tumor microenvironment, enhance the drug accumulation time and permeability at tumor sites in T24 subcutaneous tumor model and T24 orthotopic bladder tumor model, and alleviate hypoxia in tumor tissues, thus realizing enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy for bladder cancer, and providing new strategies and methods for clinical treatment of bladder cancer.
