However, other HA receptors (HARE and LYVE-1) are also overexpressing in the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Therefore, polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification of HA-based DDS is necessary to reduce RES capture. Unfortunately, pegylation remarkably inhibits tumor cellular uptake and endosomal escapement, significantly compromising the in vivo antitumor efficacy. Herein, we developed a Dox-loaded HA-based transformable supramolecular nanoplatform (Dox/HCVBP) to overcome this dilemma. Dox/HCVBP contains a tumor extracellular acidity-sensitive detachable PEG shell achieved by a benzoic imine linkage. The in vitro and in vivo investigations further demonstrated that Dox/HCVBP could be in a "stealth" state at blood stream for a long circulation time due to the buried HA ligands and the minimized nonspecific interaction by PEG shell. However, it could transform into a "recognition" state under the tumor acidic microenvironment for efficient tumor cellular uptake due to the direct exposure of active targeting ligand HA following PEG shell detachment. Such a transformative concept provides a promising strategy to resolve the dilemma of natural ligand-based DDS with conflicting two processes of tumor cellular uptake and in vivo nonspecific biodistribution %K ADA %K 1-adamantane carboxylic acid %K AD-B-PEG %K the pH-responsive adamantane-PEG conjugate %K AD-O-PEG %K the non-pH sensitive adamantane-PEG conjugate %K AUC %K area under the plasma concentration¡ªtime curve %K CLSM %K confocal laser scanning microscope %K DAPI %K 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride %K DCC %K N %K N¡ä-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide %K DCM %K dichloromethane %K DDS %K drug delivery systems %K DiR %K 1 %K 1¡ä-dioctadecyltetramethyl indotricarbocyanine iodide %K DL %K drug-loading content %K DLS %K dynamic light scattering %K DMAP %K 4-dimethylaminopyrideine %K DMEM %K Dulbecco£¿s modified Eagle£¿s medium %K Dox¡¤HCl %K doxorubicin hydrochloride %K Dox/HCVBP %K Dox-loaded hyaluronic acid-based transformable supramolecular nanoplatform %K Dox/HCVOP %K Dox-loaded hyaluronic acid-based untransformable supramolecular nanoplatform %K EDC %K 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyalminopropl) carbodiimide %K EE %K encapsulation efficiency %K FBS %K fetal bovine serum %K HA %K hyaluronic acid %K HA-CD %K hydroxypropyl-¦Â-cyclodextrin grafted hyaluronic acid polymer %K HCBP %K hydroxypropyl-¦Â-cyclodextrin grafted hyaluronic acid polymer and pH-responsive adamantane-PEG conjugate inclusion complex %K HCPs %K hydroxypropyl-¦Â-cyclodextrin grafted hyaluronic acid polymer and adamantane-PEG conjugate inclusion complexes %K HEPES %K 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesul-fonic acid %K H&E %K hematoxylin and eosin %K HOBT %K 1-hydroxybenzotriazole %K HPCD %K hydroxypropyl-¦Â-cyclodextrin %K MW %K molecular weight %K NPs %K nanoparticles %K PCC %K Pearson£¿s correlation coefficient %K PDI %K polydispersity index %K pHe %K the extracellular pH %K RES %K reticuloendothelial system %K RPMI-1640 %K Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 %K THF %K tetrahydrofuran %K TUNEL %K terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferased dUTP nick end labeling %K VES %K vitamin E succinate Hyaluronic acid %K Benzoic imine linkage %K Active-targeting %K Cancer therapy %K Natural ligand %K Supramolecular nanoplat-form %K Transformative nanoparti-cles %K PEG dilemma %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6437598/
