Antibody-mediated targeting therapy has been successful in treating patients with cancers by improving the specificity and clinical efficacy. In this study, we developed a human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) antibody-conjugated drug delivery system, using near-infrared (NIR) light-sensitive liposomes containing doxorubicin (DOX) and hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS). We demonstrated the specific binding and selective toxicity of the system to HER2-positive tumor cells in co-cultures of HER2-positive and -negative cells. Furthermore, the HER2-antibody-mediated delivery of targeted liposomes was confirmed in a double-tumor model in nude mice simultaneously bearing HER2-positive and -negative tumors. This induced a >2-fold increased accumulation in the tumors with positive expression of HER2 than that with non-targeted liposomes (no HER2-antibody conjugation). The combination of targeted liposomes with NIR laser irradiation had significant antitumor activity in?vivo with the tumor inhibition efficiency up to 92.7%, attributed to the increased accumulation in tumors and the double efficacy of photothermal-chemotherapy. Moreover, targeted liposomes did not cause systemic toxicity during the experiment period, attributable to the reduced dose of DOX, the decreased accumulation of liposomes in normal tissues, and the low irradiation power. The targeted liposomes provide a multifunctional nanotechnology platform for antibody-mediated delivery, light-trigged drug release, and combined photothermal-chemotherapy, which may have potential in the clinical treatment of cancer.
