Poor drug penetration into tumor cells and tissues is a worldwide difficulty in cancer therapy. A strategy is developed for virion-like membrane-breaking nanoparticles (MBNs) to smoothly accomplish tumor-activated cell-and-tissue dual-penetration for surmounting impermeable drug-resistant cancer. Tailor-made dendritic arginine-rich peptide prodrugs are designed to mimic viral protein transduction domains and globular protein architectures. Attractively, these protein mimics self-assemble into virion-like nanoparticles in aqueous solution, having highly ordered secondary structure. Tumor-specific acidity conditions would activate the membrane-breaking ability of these virion-like nanoparticles to perforate artificial and natural membrane systems. As expected, MBNs achieve highly efficient drug penetration into drug-resistant human ovarian (SKOV3/R) cancer cells. Most importantly, the well-organized MBNs can pass through endothelial/tumor cells and spread from one cell to another one. Intravenous injection of MBNs into nude mice bearing impermeable SKOV3/R tumors suggests that the MBNs can recognize the tumor tissue after prolonged blood circulation, evoke the membrane-breaking function for robust transvascular extravasation, and penetrate into the deep tumor tissue. This work provides the first demonstration of sophisticated molecular and supramolecular engineering of virion-like MBNs to realize the long-awaited cell-and-tissue dual-penetration, contributing to the development of a brand-new avenue for dealing with incurable cancers
