Abstract Background The Hippo pathway is a conserved tumour suppressor signalling pathway, and its dysregulation is often associated with abnormal cell growth and tumorigenesis. We previously revealed that the transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein (YAP), the key effector of the Hippo pathway, is a molecular target for glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant brain tumour. Inhibiting YAP with small interfering RNA (siYAP) or the specific inhibitor verteporfin (VP) can diminish GBM growth to a certain degree. Results In this study, to enhance the anti-GBM effect of siYAP and VP, we designed stepwise-targeting and hypoxia-responsive liposomes (AMVY@NPs), which encapsulate hypoxia-responsive polymetronidazole-coated VP and DOTAP adsorbed siYAP, with angiopep-2 (A2) modification on the surface. AMVY@NPs exhibited excellent blood‒brain barrier crossing, GBM targeting, and hypoxia-responsive and efficient siYAP and VP release properties. By inhibiting the expression and function of YAP, AMVY@NPs synergistically inhibited both the growth and stemness of GBM in vitro. Moreover, AMVY@NPs strongly inhibited the growth of orthotopic U87 xenografts and improved the survival of tumour-bearing mice without adverse effects. Conclusion Specific targeting of YAP with stepwise-targeting and hypoxia-responsive liposome AMVY@NPs carrying siYAP and VP efficiently inhibited GBM progression. This study provides a valuable drug delivery platform and creative insights for molecular targeted treatment of GBM in the future. |
