Nanoparticle tumor accumulation relies on a key mechanism, the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, but it remains challenging to decipher the exact impact of the EPR effect. Animal models in combination with imaging modalities are useful, but it is impossible to delineate the roles of multiple biological barriers involved in nanoparticle tumor accumulation. Here we report a microfluidic tumor-vasculature-on-a-chip (TVOC) mimicking two key biological barriers, namely, tumor leaky vasculature and 3D tumor tissue with dense extracellular matrix (ECM), to study nano particle extravasation through leaky vasculature and the following accumulation in tumor tissues. Intact 3D tumor vasculature was developed with selective permeability of small molecules (20 kDa) but not large ones (70 kDa). The permeability was further tuned by cytokine stimulation, demonstrating the independent control of the leaky tumor vasculature. Combined with tumor spheroids in dense ECM, our TVOC model is capable of predicting nanoparticles' in vivo tumor accumulation, thus providing a powerful platform for nanoparticle evaluation.
