to the blocked mannose receptors. The same conclusion could be
drawn from flow cytometry analysis of HepG2 cells (Fig. 3e, f) and
MCF-7 cells (Fig. S16, ESI†) after incubation with PBS, DOX-loaded
glyco-nanovesicles (with or without pre-incubation of mannose for
4 h), respectively.

The anticancer efficiency in vitro of DOX-loaded glyco-
nanovesicles was further investigated via MTT assay. The HepG2 and
MCF-7 cells were separately incubated with DOX-loaded glyco-
nanovesicles for different time periods. As shown in Fig. 4, the cell
viabilities of HepG2 and MCF-7 cells were obviously decreased with
the prolongation of incubating time and the increasement of DOX
concentration. Under the same conditions, the cell viability of 293T
cells was higher than the cell viabilities of HepG2 cells and MCF-7
cells, which was likely due to the lower concentration of GSH and
lower expression of mannose receptor in normal cells (Fig. S17, ESI†).
Furthermore, the glyco-nanovesicles effectively reduced the toxicity
of free DOX to 293T cells, although its cytotoxicity to cancer cells was
not as good as that of free DOX owing to the slow release of DOX
from the loaded-vesicles (Fig. S18, ESI†). The results demonstrated
that the glyco-nanovesicles not only had a good killing effect on
cancer cells, but also could reduce the toxicity of drugs to
normal cells.

In summary, we have successfully designed and fabricated
supramolecular glyco-nanovesicles based on pillar[5]arene dimer via
+
the host-guest interactions between SeSe-(P5)2 and Man-NH3 . The
glyco-nanovesicles possessed TME-responsiveness and targetability
of cancer cell, owing to the diselenium bonds and mannose residue,
respectively. Besides, it had good biocompatibility and could
effectively accumulate in cancer cells to release DOX via the cleavage
of diselenium bonds to achieve selective cytotoxicity. Therefore, this
