The acidic environment of the stomach is a threat to the curative effect of antimicrobial drugs for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the infected area. The conventional clinical formulations of antibiotics have low specificity to H. pylori, which disrupts the normal balance of intestinal microbiomes. Therefore, oral drug delivery system with better stability at low pH as well as higher specificity to target H. pylori would provide more effective strategy to eradicate H. pylori and reduce the side effect of antibiotics. Based on the construction of UreI-mediated targeted drug delivery system developed by our group, in this work, using urea-modified UCCs-2 as targeting moiety to the UreI channel protein which is specifically expressed on H. pylori, pH-sensitive amoxicillin-loaded AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 nanoparticles produced by UCCs-2 and PLGA for targeted treatment of H. pylori infection were established. The nanoparticles were prepared by double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. To achieve a promising drug delivery system with favorable pH-sensitive properties, we adopted an orthogonal design to obtain the optimal formulation. The results showed that the optimized AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 nanoparticles were in a favorable pH sensitive manner and exhibited low cytotoxicity, higher specificity and better anti-H. pylori efficiency than amoxicillin and non-targeting AMX-PLGA/Cs nanoparticle both in vitro and in vivo, which can protect the antimicrobial drugs against acidic environment and deliver them to targeted eradicate H. pylori in the infected location. The cellular uptake mechanism showed that AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 nanoparticles are an effective UreI-mediated targeted drug delivery system for anti-H. pylori treatment, which can also be used as promising nanocarriers for oral delivery of other therapeutic drugs to targeted treat H. pylori.
胃内的酸性环境会威胁到用于根除感染部位幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)的抗菌药物的疗效。传统临床用抗生素制剂对 H. pylori 的特异性低,会破坏肠道微生物组的正常平衡。因此,具有更好的低 pH 稳定性和更高的靶向 H. pylori 特异性的口服药物递送系统将为根除 H. pylori 和减少抗生素副作用提供更有效的策略。基于我们小组开发的 UreI 介导的靶向药物递送系统的构建,在这项工作中,使用尿素修饰的 UCCs-2 作为靶向 UreI 通道蛋白的靶向部分,该蛋白特异性表达于 H. pylori 上,用 UCCs-2 和 PLGA 负载 pH 敏感的阿莫西林制成的靶向治疗 H. pylori 感染的 AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 纳米颗粒。纳米颗粒通过双乳液-溶剂蒸发法制备。为了获得具有良好 pH 敏感性的有前途的药物递送系统,我们采用正交设计获得了最佳配方。结果表明,优化的 AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 纳米颗粒具有良好的 pH 敏感性,表现出比阿莫西林和非靶向 AMX-PLGA/Cs 纳米颗粒更低的细胞毒性、更高的特异性和更好的抗 H. pylori 效率,在体外和体内都可以保护抗菌药物免受酸性环境的影响,并将其递送到感染部位靶向根除 H. pylori。细胞摄取机制表明,AMX-PLGA/UCCs-2 纳米颗粒是一种有效的 UreI 介导的靶向药物递送系统,用于抗 H. pylori 治疗,也可以用作口服递送至靶向治疗 H. pylori 的其他治疗药物的有前途的纳米载体。
