Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is rich in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which participate in the formation of tumor stroma. However, the dense tumor stroma of PDAC presents major barriers to drug delivery, resulting in an obstacle for PDAC therapy. Considering the special tumor microenvironment of PDAC, we constructed a novel nanoparticle which is responsive to the membrane biomarker FAP-α on CAFs and near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Small sized albumin nanoparticle of paclitaxel (HSA-PTX) with strong tumor-penetration ability was encapsulated into the CAP-(a FAP-α responsive cleavable amphiphilic peptide) modified thermosensitive liposomes (CAP-TSL). Moreover, IR-780, a photothermal agent, was incorporated into CAP-TSL to afford CAP-ITSL. The designed HSA-PTX@CAP-ITSL increased the drug retention of HSA-PTX in solid tumor and HSA-PTX was released via FAP-α (specifically expresses on CAFs) triggered. Under sequential stimulation of NIR laser irradiation, IR-780 produced hyperthermia to kill tumor cells and expand the tumor interstitial space at the same time, which further promoted the release of small sized HSA-PTX in deep tumor regions. Consequently, the excellent antitumor efficacy of HSA-PTX@CAP-ITSL was demonstrated in Pan 02 subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor mouse models. Therefore, HSA-PTX@CAP-ITSL well combined chemotherapy with photothermal therapy, providing a promising drug delivery strategy for PDAC treatment.
