Interfacial nanobubbles on a superhydrophobic surface can serve as ultrasound cavitation nuclei for continuously promoting sonodynamic therapy, but their poor dispersibility in blood has limited their biomedical application. In this study, we proposed ultrasound-responsive biomimetic superhydrophobic mesoporous silica nanoparticles, modified with red blood cell membrane and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) (F-MSN-DOX@RBC), for RM-1 tumor sonodynamic therapy. Their mean size and zeta potentials were 232 ± 78.8 nm and -35.57 ± 0.74 mV, respectively. The F-MSN-DOX@RBC accumulation in a tumor was significantly higher than in the control group, and the spleen uptake of F-MSN-DOX@RBC was significantly reduced in comparison to that of the F-MSN-DOX group. Moreover, the cavitation caused by a single dose of F-MSN-DOX@RBC combined with multiple ultrasounds provided continuous sonodynamic therapy. The tumor inhibition rates in the experimental group were 71.5 8 ± 9.54%, which is significantly better than the control group. DHE and CD31 fluorescence staining was used to assess the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated and the broken tumor vascular system induced by ultrasound. Finally, we can conclude that the combination of anti-vascular therapy, sonodynamic therapy by ROS, and chemotherapy promoted tumor treatment efficacy. The use of red blood cell membrane-modified superhydrophobic silica nanoparticles is a promising strategy in designing ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles to promote drug-release.
