Popis: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and complex tumour immunosuppressive micro-environment posed austere challenges for combatting brain tumours such as the glioblastoma. In this study, we have developed a novel dual functional dendrimer drug delivery system (DDS) by the PAMAM and loaded with siLSINCT5 (NP- siRNA) for efficiently across the BBB to inhibit glioblastoma. To achieve the goal of BBB crossing, on the surface of NP-siRNA was decorated with the cell penetrating peptides tLyp-1 (tLypNP-siRNA). Moreover, to overcome the immunosuppressive microenvironment within the glioblastoma (GBM) tissues, a checkpoint inhibitor named as anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody (aNKG2A), which was able of promoting anti-tumour immunity by unleashing both T and NK Cells, was further conjugated on the surface of siLSINCT5-loaded nanoparticles
