Abstract

Mild acidic environment and angiogenesis are two typical characteristics of tumor. The specific response toward both lower pH and angiogenesis may enhance the targeting ability both for drug and diagnostic probe delivery. Herein, we present a kind of dual responding self-assembled nanotransformation material that is tumor angiogenesis targeting and pH triggered based on amphiphilic conjugation between peptides (STP) and aromatic molecules (tetraphenylethylene (TPE)). The morphology of the self-assembled peptide conjugates is responsibly changed from nanoparticles in neutral condition to nanofibers in acidic condition, which "turn on" the in vivo targeting imaging and accelerate the efficient drug delivery and in vivo therapy. On the basis of the well-controlled nanotransformation both in vitro and in vivo, we envisioned the successful demonstration of the responding materials would open a new avenue in turn on targeting imaging diagnostics and specific cancer therapeutics.
