Suppressing Wnt signaling of the blood-tumor barrier to intensify drug delivery and inhibit lipogenesis of brain metastases

Lipogenesis is often highly upregulated in breast cancer brain metastases to adapt to intracra-nial low lipid microenvironments.Lipase inhibitors hold therapeutic potential but their intra-tumoral dis-tribution is often blocked by the blood-tumor barrier(BTB).BTB activates its Wnt signaling to maintain barrier properties,e.g.,Mfsd2a-mediated BTB low transcytosis.Here,we reported VCAM-1-targeting nano-wogonin(W@V-NPs)as an adjuvant of nano-orlistat(O@V-NPs)to intensify drug delivery and inhibit lipogenesis of brain metastases.W@V-NPs were proven to be able to inactivate BTB Wnt signaling,downregulate BTB Mfsd2a,accelerate BTB vesicular transport,and enhance tumor accumula-tion of O@V-NPs.With the ability to specifically kill cancer cells in a lipid-deprived environment with IC50 at 48 ng/mL,W@V-NPs plus O@V-NPs inhibited the progression of brain metastases with pro-longed survival of model mice.The combination did not induce brain edema,cognitive impairment,and systemic toxicity in healthy mice.Targeting Wnt signaling could safely modulate the BTB to improve drug delivery and metabolic therapy against brain metastases.
