Intravesical instillation of chemotherapeutics or immune-stimulating agents could reduce the recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral resection of the bladder tumors. Its efficacy, however, remains to be improved due to the bladder epithelial barrier. Although certain transmucosal delivery carriers are able to enhance the transepithelial penetration of intravesical agents, they could hardly differentiate carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues of the bladder wall. Here, we reported polyethylene glycol (PEG) & glutaraldehyde co-modified fluorinated chitosan (PGFCS) as a collagen-targeted transepithelial penetration enhancer, which could create a tumor-targeted adhesive interface by the aldehyde-selective reaction with collagen amines enriched in the tumor, thus opening the transepithelial-delivery barrier at the tumor site though the fluorinated-chitosan-mediated tight junction regulation. Interestingly, with the help of PGFCS pre-treatment, intravesical instillation of chemotherapeutics pirabucin (THP) combined with immune stimulating agent interleukin-12 could trigger potent antitumor chemoimmunotherapeutic responses in destructing orthotopic bladder tumors and inhibiting cancer recurrence. Our work presents a unique type of tumor-specific transepithelial penetration enhancer, which shows great potential for safe and effective intravesical instillation of NMIBC.
