Abstract

Both targeting and penetrating ability are the key characteristics for tissue probing and precise delivery. To construct an efficient nano probing and delivery system toward human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive cancer, we established a nano liposomal system functionalized with a newly screened HER2 targeting peptide (HP2, YDLKEPEH) and the cell-penetrating peptide TAT simultaneously. Compared with the monofunctionalized liposomal probes, the dual-functional ones demonstrated a synergetic effect in cell uptake, drug delivery, and in vivo imaging. The improved efficacy of the synergetic system provides a prospective strategy for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
