Despite the acknowledged advantages of combined immunochemotherapy for tumor treatment, the high efficiency of co-delivery of these combined agents into the targeted tumor tissue is still challenging. Herein, based on a "three-birds-with-one-stone" strategy, a facile glycyrrhizic acid (GL)-lipid hybrid nanoplatform loading triptolide (TP/GLLNP) is designed to better address the dilemma. Differing from the traditional liposomes with dual-drug co-delivery NPs, GL with a cholesterol-like structure is primarily employed to construct the lipid membrane skeleton of the GL-based lipid nanoparticle (GLLNP), and then triptolide (TP) is readily loaded in the lipid bilayer of GLLNP. The fabricated GLLNP possessed similar drug loading efficacy, particle size, and storage stability; none of the hemolysis; even higher membrane fluidity; and lower absorbed opsonin proteins compared with the conventional liposomes. Compared to TP-loaded traditional liposomes (TP/Lipo), TP/GLLNP exhibits significantly enhanced cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. In addition, GLLNP could ameliorate tumor immunosuppression by promoting tumor-associated macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 phenotype. Furthermore, enhanced retention and accumulation in the tumor area of GLLNP could be found. As expected, TP/GLLNP displayed synergistic anti-hepatocellular carcinoma efficacy in vivo. In conclusion, this study provides an inspirational strategy to combine the anti-HCC benefits of GL and TP using a novel dual-drug co-delivery nanosystem.
