Cancer has been one of the major healthcare burdens, which demands innovative therapeutic strategies to improve the treatment outcomes. Combination therapy hold great potential to leverage multiple synergistic pathways to improve cancer treatment. Cancer cells often exhibit an increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant species compared with normal cells, and the levels of these species can be further elevated by common therapeutic modalities such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) or chemotherapy. Taking advantage that cancer cells are vulnerable to further oxidative stress, we aim to design a drug delivery system by simultaneously increasing the cellular ROS level, reducing antioxidative capacity, and inducing anticancer chemotherapy in cancer cells. Here, we designed a star-shape polymer, PEG(-b-PCL-Ce6)-b-PBEMA, based on the Passerini three-component reaction, which can both enhance ROS generation during PDT and decrease the GSH level in cancer cells. The polycaprolactone conjugated with photosensitizer Ce6 served as hydrophobic segments to promote micelle formation, and Ce6 was used for PDT. The H2O2-labile group of arylboronic esters pendent on the third segment was designed for H2O2-induced quinone methide (QM) release for GSH depletion. We thoroughly investigated the spectral properties of blank micelle during its assembling process, ROS generation, and H2O2-induced QM release in vitro. Moreover, this polymeric micelle could successfully load hydrophobic anticancer drug Doxorubicin (DOX) and efficiently deliver DOX into cancer cells. The triple combination of ROS generation, GSH elimination, and chemotherapy dramatically improved antitumor efficiency relative to each of them alone in vitro and in vivo.
