Herein, we report the preparation of genetically engineered protein cages (HspG41C-SP94), taken up selectively by human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. An engineered protein cage-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate was as cytotoxic as free DOX against HCC cells but much less cytotoxic against normal hepatocytes.
在此,我们报告了基因工程蛋白笼(HspG41C-SP94)的制备,该蛋白笼可被人肝癌(HCC)细胞选择性摄取。与游离 DOX 相比,工程蛋白笼-阿霉素(DOX)缀合物对 HCC 细胞的细胞毒性与其相当,但对正常肝细胞的细胞毒性要小得多。
