As the tumor microenvironment (TME) develops, it is critical to take the alterations of pH value, reduction and various enzymes of the TME into consideration when constructing the desirable co-delivery systems. Herein, TME pH and enzyme dual-responsive core-shell nanoparticles were prepared for the efficient co-delivery of chemotherapy drug and plasmid DNA (pDNA). A novel pH-responsive, positively charged drug loading material, doxorubicin (DOX)-4-hydrazinobenzoic acid (HBA)-polyethyleneimine (PEI) conjugate (DOX-HBA-PEI, DHP), was synthesized to fabricate positively charged polyion complex inner core DHP/DNA nanoparticles (DDN). Hyaluronic acid (HA) was an enzyme-responsive shell which could protect the core and enhance the co-delivery efficiency through CD44-mediated endocytosis. The HA-shielded pH and enzyme dual-responsive nanoparticles (HDDN) were spherical with narrow distribution. The particle size of HDDN was 148.3±3.88 nm and the zeta potential was changed to negative (-18.1±2.03 mV), which led to decreased cytotoxicity. The cumulative release of DOX from DHP at pH 5.0 (66.4%) was higher than that at pH 7.4 (30.1%), which indicated the pH sensitivity of DHP. The transfection efficiency of HDDN in 10% serum was equal to that in the absence of serum, while the transfection of DDN was significantly decreased in the presence of 10% serum. Furthermore, cellular uptake studies and co-localization assay showed that HDDN were internalized effectively through CD44-mediated endocytosis in the tumor cells. The efficient co-delivery of DOX and pEGFP was confirmed by fluorescent image taken by laser confocal microscope. It can be concluded that TME dual-responsive HA-shielded core-shell nanoparticles could be considered as a promising platform for the co-delivery of chemotherapy drug and pDNA.
随着肿瘤微环境(TME)的发展,在构建理想的共递送系统时,考虑TME的pH值变化、还原作用及各种酶至关重要。在此,制备了TME pH和酶双响应核壳纳米颗粒,用于化疗药物和质粒DNA(pDNA)的高效共递送。合成了一种新型的pH响应性带正电荷的药物负载材料阿霉素(DOX)-4-肼基苯甲酸(HBA)-聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)共轭物(DOX-HBA-PEI,DHP),以制备带正电荷的聚离子复合内核DHP/DNA纳米颗粒(DDN)。透明质酸(HA)是一种酶响应性外壳,可保护内核并通过CD44介导的内吞作用提高共递送效率。HA屏蔽的pH和酶双响应纳米颗粒(HDDN)呈球形,分布狭窄。HDDN的粒径为148.3±3.88 nm,zeta电位变为负值(-18.1±2.03 mV),这导致细胞毒性降低。DHP在pH 5.0时DOX的累积释放率(66.4%)高于pH 7.4时(30.1%),这表明DHP具有pH敏感性。HDDN在10%血清中的转染效率与无血清时相当,而DDN在10%血清存在下的转染显著降低。此外,细胞摄取研究和共定位分析表明,HDDN通过肿瘤细胞中CD44介导的内吞作用有效内化。激光共聚焦显微镜拍摄的荧光图像证实了DOX和pEGFP的高效共递送。可以得出结论,TME双响应HA屏蔽核壳纳米颗粒可被视为化疗药物和pDNA共递送的有前景的平台。
