For developing a multifunctional bioreducible targeted and synergistic co-delivery system for anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) and p53 gene for potential cancer therapy, supramolecular self-assembled inclusion complex was prepared from PTX and star-shaped cationic polymer containing γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and multiple oligoethylenimine (OEI) arms with folic acid (FA) conjugated via a disulfide linker. The inclusion complex, termed as γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX, was formed between PTX and the hydrophobic cavity of γ-CD core of the star polymer. The γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX complex further formed polyplexes with pDNA to give positively charged nanoparticles, becoming multifunctional supramolecular self-assembled co-delivery system for PTX and pDNA targeting to cancer cells that overexpress folate receptors (FRs). The results showed that the FA-targeted function induced higher gene transfection efficiency in the FR-positive KB cells. The redox-sensitive disulfide linker in the self-assembly system led to the detachment of the FA groups from the carrier after the FR-mediated endocytosis, which resulted in the release of the bound FRs followed by the recycling of the FRs from the cytosol onto the cell membrane surface, facilitating continuous FR-mediated endocytosis to achieve enhanced gene transfection. In addition, the complexed PTX was co-delivered to the cells with pDNA, which further enhanced the gene transfection even at low N/P ratios in the FR-positive KB cells. Further, the efficient delivery of wild-type p53 gene resulted in large cell population at sub G1 and G2/M phases, inducing significant cell apoptosis. Therefore, the multifunctional γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX self-assembly system with the synergistic effects of redox-sensitive FA-targeted and PTX-enhanced p53 gene delivery may be promising for cancer therapeutic application.
为了开发用于抗癌药物紫杉醇(PTX)和 p53 基因的多功能生物还原靶向协同递药系统,用于潜在的癌症治疗,通过二硫键连接将 PTX 与包含 γ-环糊精(γ-CD)和多个聚乙二烯亚胺(OEI)臂的星形阳离子聚合物制备超分子自组装包合物。包合物命名为γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX,是在 PTX 和星形聚合物的γ-CD 核的疏水性腔之间形成的。γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX 复合物进一步与 pDNA 形成聚阳离子纳米颗粒,成为用于靶向过表达叶酸受体(FRs)的癌细胞的多功能超分子自组装共递药系统。结果表明,FA 靶向功能诱导 FR 阳性 KB 细胞中的基因转染效率更高。自组装系统中的氧化还原敏感二硫键在 FR 介导的内吞作用后导致 FA 基团从载体上脱离,从而导致结合的 FR 释放,随后 FR 从细胞质中回收至细胞膜表面,促进连续的 FR 介导的内吞作用,从而实现增强的基因转染。此外,与 pDNA 共递药的复合 PTX 进一步增强了基因转染,即使在 FR 阳性 KB 细胞中 N/P 比低的情况下也是如此。此外,野生型 p53 基因的有效递送达亚 G1 和 G2/M 期的细胞群体增加,诱导显著的细胞凋亡。因此,具有氧化还原敏感 FA 靶向和 PTX 增强 p53 基因递送达协同作用的多功能 γ-CD-OEI-SS-FA/PTX 自组装系统可能有望用于癌症治疗应用。
