Poor tumor accumulation remains a serious challenge for nanomedicines to achieve ideal antitumor outcomes. The different size preferences for systematic circulation, tumor retention and deep permeation have attracted great attention when designing antineoplastic nano-delivery system. Herein, we developed a nano-system which can shrink its size in tumor microenvironment to achieve better tumor retention and penetration. In this work, the cationic bovine serum albumin-protected, doxorubicin-loaded gold nanoclusters (CAuNC-DOX) and amino-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are connected by Fe²⁺ and are further coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to obtain a core-satellite MSN-Fe-CAuNC-DOX@HA nano system (MFADH). When reaching the tumor site, the HA shell, which endows the system with both good biocompatibility and preferable tumor targeting ability, was disintegrated, followed by acid-stimulated release of small-sized pharmacological unit—CAuNC-DOX for further tumor penetration. As demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo results, MFADH showed excellent antitumor effect, providing a proof of concept for the feasibility of shrinkable nanoplatforms in tumor treatment.
