PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to design and fabricate endosomal pH-sensitive dual-ligand-modified micellar nanoparticles to achieve enhanced drug delivery to tumor cells and facilitated intracellular drug release. METHODS: End-group-carboxylated poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-poly(D,L-lactide) and cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp-Tyr-Lys- and anti-prostate specific membrane antigen antibody-modified diblock copolymer poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-poly(D,L-lactide) were synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR and gel permeation chromatography, and self-assembled into micelles. Paclitaxel-loaded dual-ligand-modified micelles were prepared by thin-film hydration method, and characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscope, pH-dependent in vitro release and stability. Intracellular paclitaxel delivery was measured by flow cytometry and imaged by confocal microscopy. In vitro cytotoxicity was studied in the 22Rv1 xenograft prostate tumor cell lines. RESULTS: The prepared dual-ligand-modified micelles with about 30 nm in diameter and rapid intracellular drug release behavior at endo/lysosomal pH were very effective in enhancing the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel against 22Rv1 cells by increasing the cellular uptake, which was verified the correlation with the expression of integrin αvβ3 and prostate specific membrane antigen in tumor cells by flow cytometric analysis and confocal microscopy, compared with single ligand-modified micelles. CONCLUSION: These findings provided valuable information that the application of combining of dual-ligand modifications with pH-sensitivity to polymeric micelles may be a promising approach in the efficient delivery of anticancer drugs for treatment of integrin αvβ3 and prostate specific membrane antigen expressing prostate cancers.
目的:本研究旨在设计并制备内体pH敏感的双配体修饰胶束纳米颗粒,以实现增强对肿瘤细胞的药物递送并促进细胞内药物释放。 方法:合成了端基羧基化的聚(2-乙基-2-恶唑啉)-聚(D,L-丙交酯)以及环化精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸-酪氨酸-赖氨酸和抗前列腺特异性膜抗原抗体修饰的两嵌段共聚物聚(2-乙基-2-恶唑啉)-聚(D,L-丙交酯),并通过¹H NMR和凝胶渗透色谱进行表征,然后自组装成胶束。采用薄膜水化法制备负载紫杉醇的双配体修饰胶束,并通过动态光散射、透射电子显微镜、pH依赖性体外释放和稳定性进行表征。通过流式细胞术测量细胞内紫杉醇递送情况,并通过共聚焦显微镜成像。在22Rv1异种移植前列腺肿瘤细胞系中研究体外细胞毒性。 结果:制备的双配体修饰胶束直径约为30 nm,在内体/溶酶体pH下具有快速的细胞内药物释放行为,通过增加细胞摄取,能非常有效地增强紫杉醇对22Rv1细胞的细胞毒性,通过流式细胞术分析和共聚焦显微镜观察,证实其与肿瘤细胞中整合素αvβ3和前列腺特异性膜抗原的表达相关,与单配体修饰胶束相比。 结论:这些发现提供了有价值的信息,即双配体修饰与pH敏感性相结合应用于聚合物胶束可能是一种有前景的方法,可用于高效递送抗癌药物以治疗表达整合素αvβ3和前列腺特异性膜抗原的前列腺癌。
