The poor permeability of glioma parenchyma represents a major limit for antiglioblastoma drug delivery. Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharide (GLP), which has a high binding affinity to αvβ3 integrin overexpressed in glioma cells, was employed in the present study to functionalize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to achieve antiglioblastoma efficacy. GLP-SeNPs showed satisfactory size distribution, high stability, and selectivity between cancer and normal cells. In U87 glioma cell membrane, which has a high integrin expression level, GLP-SeNPs exhibited significantly higher cellular uptake than unmodified SeNPs. As expected, U87 cells exhibited a greater uptake of GLP-SeNPs than C6 cells with low integrin expression level. Furthermore, the internalization of GLP-SeNPs was inhibited by cyclo-(Arg-Gly-Asp-Phe-Lys) peptides, suggesting that cellular uptake into U87 cells and C6 cells occurred via αvβ3 integrin-mediated endocytosis. For U87 cells, the cytotoxicity of SeNPs decorated by GLP was enhanced significantly because of the induction of various apoptosis signaling pathways. Internalized GLP-SeNPs triggered intracellular reactive oxygen species downregulation. Therefore, p53, MAPKs, and AKT pathways were activated to advance cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that surface decoration of nanomaterials with GLP could be an efficient strategy for design and preparation of glioblastoma targeting nanodrugs.
脑胶质瘤实质的低通透性是抗脑胶质瘤药物输送的主要限制因素。龙须菜多糖(GLP)对脑胶质瘤细胞过度表达的αvβ3 整合素有很高的结合亲和力,本研究将其用于对硒纳米颗粒(SeNPs)进行功能化,以实现抗脑胶质瘤功效。GLP-SeNPs 表现出令人满意的粒径分布、高稳定性和对癌细胞与正常细胞的选择性。在 U87 脑胶质瘤细胞膜中,GLP-SeNPs 表现出比未经修饰的 SeNPs 更高的细胞摄取率,而 U87 细胞膜中整合素表达水平较高。正如预期的那样,与低整合素表达水平的 C6 细胞相比,U87 细胞对 GLP-SeNPs 的摄取量更大。此外,GLP-SeNPs 的内化被环-(精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸-苯丙氨酸-赖氨酸)肽抑制,这表明 GLP-SeNPs 进入 U87 细胞和 C6 细胞是通过 αvβ3 整合素介导的内吞作用。对于 U87 细胞,由于诱导了多种凋亡信号通路,被 GLP 修饰的 SeNPs 的细胞毒性显著增强。内化的 GLP-SeNPs 触发细胞内活性氧物质下调。因此,p53、MAPKs 和 AKT 通路被激活以促进细胞凋亡。这些发现表明,纳米材料表面用 GLP 进行修饰可能是设计和制备脑胶质瘤靶向纳米药物的有效策略。
