To synthesize cRGDfK peptide conjugated poly(γ-glutamic acid)-phenylalanine nanoparticles to improve the therapeutic efficacy of camptothecin (CPT) against glioblastoma multiforme.
Peptide-conjugated, drug-loaded nanoparticles (cRGDfK-conjugated camptothecin-loaded PGA-PA nanoparticles [RCPN]) were prepared and physico-chemically characterized using different techniques. Nanoparticles were evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity, cellular uptake, induction of apoptosis and wound healing cell migration against U87MG human glioblastoma cells.
RCPN, with a particle size of <100 nm and 65% CPT encapsulation efficiency, exhibited a dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity to glioblastoma cells. Compared with native CPT or unconjugated nanoparticles, RCPN induced apoptosis, increased reactive oxygen species generation and inhibited U87MG cell migration.
cRGDfK-mediated and amphiphilic copolymer-based nanomedicines represent a new approach for improved delivery of anticancer drugs to and treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.
合成cRGDfK肽偶联的聚(γ-谷氨酸)-苯丙氨酸纳米颗粒,以提高喜树碱(CPT)对多形性胶质母细胞瘤的治疗效果。
制备肽偶联的载药纳米颗粒(cRGDfK偶联的载喜树碱的聚谷氨酸-苯丙氨酸纳米颗粒 [RCPN]),并使用不同技术对其进行物理化学表征。评估纳米颗粒对U87MG人胶质母细胞瘤细胞的体外抗癌活性、细胞摄取、凋亡诱导和伤口愈合细胞迁移情况。
RCPN粒径小于100 nm,喜树碱包封率为65%,对胶质母细胞瘤细胞表现出剂量和时间依赖性细胞毒性。与天然喜树碱或未偶联的纳米颗粒相比,RCPN诱导凋亡,增加活性氧生成并抑制U87MG细胞迁移。
cRGDfK介导的两亲性共聚物基纳米药物代表了一种改进抗癌药物向多形性胶质母细胞瘤递送和治疗的新方法。
