We have developed a hybrid lipid-polymer nanoparticle platform, which has a matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) cleavable polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid corona. Near infrared fluorescent dyes and paramagnetic lipids were incorporated to enable dual in vivo optical and magnetic resonance imaging. In the current study we demonstrated that upon incubation with MMP2 the PEG shielding is removed enabling the targeting ligands (RGD peptides) to bind to αvβ3 integrin expressing cells. In vivo mouse imaging revealed that following an intravenous administration our nanoparticles accumulated in the rim of orthotopically implanted breast tumors.
