Abstract
Background
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising pharmacotherapeutic modality for glioblastoma (GBM) drug delivery. However, the clinical translation of EVs remains restricted due to their low yield and demanding extraction steps. Therefore, extracellular vesicle mimetics (EVMs), as alternatives to EVs, have received much attention.
Results
Herein, inspired by the inherent GBM tropism of monocytes and the editable target recognition ability of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), we present the synthesis and systemic evaluation of a doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanoplatform (termed CAR-EVMs@DOX) generated by loading DOX into EVMs derived from CAR-modified monocytes (CAR-EVMs) via a modified extrusion method. Due to insufficient GBM drug delivery efficacy and great systemic toxicity caused by the resistance of the blood−brain barrier (BBB), CAR-EVMs@DOX can be administered intranasally to bypass the BBB, resulting in dramatic GBM-targeted migration and accumulation in the GBM site. Moreover, compared with intravenous administration, intranasal delivery of CAR-EVMs@DOX increases tumor inhibition efficacy while protecting against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
Conclusions
The findings of our study demonstrate that the intranasal administration of the facile and well-designed nanoplatform CAR-EVMs@DOX is an advanced drug delivery tactic for GBM therapy, with the potential for future clinical translation.

期刊介绍:
Bioactive Materials is a peer-reviewed research publication that focuses on advancements in bioactive materials. The journal accepts research papers, reviews, and rapid communications in the field of next-generation biomaterials that interact with cells, tissues, and organs in various living organisms.
The primary goal of Bioactive Materials is to promote the science and engineering of biomaterials that exhibit adaptiveness to the biological environment. These materials are specifically designed to stimulate or direct appropriate cell and tissue responses or regulate interactions with microorganisms.
The journal covers a wide range of bioactive materials, including those that are engineered or designed in terms of their physical form (e.g. particulate, fiber), topology (e.g. porosity, surface roughness), or dimensions (ranging from macro to nano-scales). Contributions are sought from the following categories of bioactive materials:
Bioactive metals and alloys
Bioactive inorganics: ceramics, glasses, and carbon-based materials
Bioactive polymers and gels
Bioactive materials derived from natural sources
Bioactive composites
These materials find applications in human and veterinary medicine, such as implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, cell/drug/gene carriers, as well as imaging and sensing devices.
