Description
Summary:Nanoparticle (NP) surface functionalization with proteins, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), mAb fragments, and various peptides, has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance tumor targeting specificity and immune cell interaction. However, these methods often rely on complex chemistry and suffer from batch‐dependent outcomes, primarily due to limited control over the protein orientation and quantity on NP surfaces. To address these challenges, a novel approach based on the supramolecular assembly of two peptides is presented to create a heterotetramer displaying VHHs on NP surfaces. This approach effectively targets both tumor‐associated antigens (TAAs) and immune cell‐associated antigens. In vitro experiments showcase its versatility, as various NP types are biofunctionalized, including liposomes, PLGA NPs, and ultrasmall silica‐based NPs, and the VHHs targeting of known TAAs (HER2 for breast cancer, CD38 for multiple myeloma), and an immune cell antigen (NKG2D for natural killer (NK) cells) is evaluated. In in vivo studies using a HER2+ breast cancer mouse model, the approach demonstrates enhanced tumor uptake, retention, and penetration compared to the behavior of nontargeted analogs, affirming its potential for diverse applications. A versatile platform of nanoparticles is developed that is functionalized through the supramolecular assembly of peptides, designed to selectively bind to tumoral or immune receptors. In vitro, the versatility of the approach using various nanoparticles and targeting different receptors is demonstrated. The in vivo study has specifically concentrated on HER2+ tumors, confirming the successful delivery of these targeted‐nanoparticles.
