| Achoimre: | The abnormal activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) drives the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The EGFR-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib is frequently used to clinically treat NSCLC and exhibits marked efficacy in patients with NSCLC who have an EGFR mutation. However, free osimertinib administration exhibits an inadequate response in vivo, with only ∼3% patients demonstrating a complete clinical response. Consequently, we designed a biomimetic nanoparticle (CMNP@Osi) comprising a polymeric nanoparticle core and tumor cell-derived membrane-coated shell that combines membrane-mediated homologous and molecular targeting for targeted drug delivery, thereby supporting a dual-target strategy for enhancing osimertinib efficacy. After intravenous injection, CMNP@Osi accumulates at tumor sites and displays enhanced uptake into cancer cells based on homologous targeting. Osimertinib is subsequently released into the cytoplasm, where it suppresses the phosphorylation of upstream EGFR and the downstream AKT signaling pathway and inhibits the proliferation of NSCLC cells. Thus, this dual-targeting strategy using a biomimetic nanocarrier can enhance molecular-targeted drug delivery and improve clinical efficacy.
