Multidrug resistance (MDR) is thought to be the major obstacle leading to the failure of paclitaxel (PTX) chemotherapy. To solve this problem, a glucose transporter-mediated and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)-triggered mitochondrion-targeting conjugate [glucose-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-peptide-triphenylphosponium-polyamidoamine (PAMAM)-PTX] composed of a PAMAM dendrimer and enzymatic detachable glucose-PEG was constructed for mitochondrial delivery of PTX. The conjugate was characterized by a 30 nm sphere particle, MMP2-sensitive PEG outer layer detachment from PAMAM, and glutathione (GSH)-sensitive PTX release. It showed higher cellular uptake both in glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) overexpressing MCF-7/MDR monolayer cell (2D) and multicellular tumor spheroids (3D). The subcellular location study showed that it could specifically accumulate in the mitochondria. Moreover, it exhibited higher cytotoxicity against MCF-7/MDR cells, which significantly reverse the MDR of MCF-7/MDR cells. The MDR reverse might be caused by reducing the ATP content through destroying the mitochondrial membrane as well as by down-regulating P-gp expression. In vivo imaging and tissue distribution indicated more conjugate accumulated in the tumor of the tumor-bearing mice model. Consequently, the conjugate showed better tumor inhibition rate and lower body weight loss, which demonstrated that it possessed high efficiency and low toxicity. This study provides glucose-mediated GLUT targeting, MMP2-responsive PEG detachment, triphenylphosponium-mediated mitochondria targeting, and a GSH-sensitive intracellular drug release conjugate that has the potential to be exploited for overcoming MDR of PTX.
多药耐药(MDR)被认为是导致紫杉醇(PTX)化疗失败的主要障碍。为了解决这个问题,构建了一种由聚酰胺胺(PAMAM)树枝状分子和酶可分解的葡萄糖-聚乙二醇(PEG)组成的葡萄糖转运体介导和基质金属蛋白酶 2(MMP2)触发的线粒体靶向缀合物[葡萄糖-聚乙二醇(PEG)-肽-三苯基膦-聚酰胺胺(PAMAM)-PTX],用于 PTX 的线粒体递送。该缀合物的特征是具有 30nm 的球体颗粒,MMP2 敏感的 PEG 外层从 PAMAM 上脱落,以及谷胱甘肽(GSH)敏感的 PTX 释放。它在葡萄糖转运蛋白 1(GLUT1)过表达的 MCF-7/MDR 单层细胞(2D)和多细胞肿瘤球体(3D)中均显示出更高的细胞摄取率。亚细胞定位研究表明,它可以特异性地积聚在线粒体中。此外,它对 MCF-7/MDR 细胞表现出更高的细胞毒性,显著逆转了 MCF-7/MDR 细胞的 MDR。MDR 的逆转可能是通过破坏线粒体膜降低 ATP 含量以及下调 P-糖蛋白表达来实现的。体内成像和组织分布表明,更多的缀合物在荷瘤小鼠模型的肿瘤中积累。因此,该缀合物表现出更好的肿瘤抑制率和更低的体重减轻,表明其具有高效低毒的特性。本研究提供了一种葡萄糖介导的 GLUT 靶向、MMP2 响应的 PEG 脱落、三苯基膦介导的线粒体靶向和 GSH 敏感的细胞内药物释放缀合物,具有克服 PTX 多药耐药的潜力。
