Summary: | To resolve poor accumulation caused by systemic administration, injectable and responsive hydrogels are the prospective drug delivery systems for localized tumor treatment, owning to negligible invasiveness and accurate administration. Herein, an injectable hydrogel, based on dopamine (DA) crosslinked hyaluronic acid and Bi
Se
nanosheets (NSs) loading with doxorubicin (DOX) coated with polydopamine (Bi
Se
-DOX@PDA), was developed for synergistic chem-photothermal cancer therapy. The ultrathin functional Bi
Se
-DOX@PDA NSs could be responsive to the weak acidic condition and photothermal effect under NIR laser irradiation, achieving controlled release of DOX. Moreover, nanocomposite hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid matrix could be precisely administrated through intratumoral injection since its injectability and self-healing capacity, remaining at injected sites for at least 12 days. Furthermore, the excellent therapeutics effect of Bi
Se
-DOX@PDA nanocomposite hydrogel was demonstrated on 4 T1 xenograft tumor with outstanding injectability and negligible systemic side-effect. In short, the construction of Bi
Se
-DOX@PDA nanocomposite hydrogel paves a prospective path for local treatment of cancers. |
