In this study, taking into consideration the limitations of current treatments of glioblastoma multiforme, we fabricated a biomimetic lipid-based magnetic nanovector with a good loading capacity and a sustained release profile of the encapsulated chemotherapeutic drug, temozolomide. These nanostructures demonstrated an enhanced release after exposure to an alternating magnetic field, and a complete release of the encapsulated drug after the synergic effect of low pH (4.5), increased concentration of hydrogen peroxide (50 μM), and increased temperature due to the applied magnetic field. In addition, these nanovectors presented excellent specific absorption rate values (up to 1345 W g-1) considering the size of the magnetic component, rendering them suitable as potential hyperthermia agents. The presented nanovectors were progressively internalized in U-87 MG cells and in their acidic compartments (i.e., lysosomes and late endosomes) without affecting the viability of the cells, and their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier was preliminarily investigated using an in vitro brain endothelial cell-model. When stimulated with alternating magnetic fields (20 mT, 750 kHz), the nanovectors demonstrated their ability to induce mild hyperthermia (43 °C) and strong anticancer effects against U-87 MG cells (scarce survival of cells characterized by low proliferation rates and high apoptosis levels). The optimal anticancer effects resulted from the synergic combination of hyperthermia chronic stimulation and the controlled temozolomide release, highlighting the potential of the proposed drug-loaded lipid magnetic nanovectors for treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.
在这项研究中,考虑到多形性胶质母细胞瘤目前治疗方法的局限性,我们制备了一种仿生脂质基磁性纳米载体,具有良好的载药量和包封化疗药物替莫唑胺的持续释放特性。这些纳米结构在暴露于交变磁场后表现出增强的释放,并且在低 pH 值(4.5)、过氧化氢浓度增加(50 μM)和由于施加磁场而升高的温度的协同作用下,包封药物完全释放。此外,这些纳米载体在考虑到磁性成分的尺寸时表现出优异的比吸收率值(高达 1345 W g-1),适合作为潜在的热疗剂。所提出的纳米载体逐渐内化到 U-87 MG 细胞及其酸性区室(即溶酶体和晚期内体)中,而不影响细胞的活力,并使用体外脑内皮细胞模型初步研究了它们穿过血脑屏障的能力。当用交变磁场(20 mT,750 kHz)刺激时,纳米载体表现出诱导温和热疗(43°C)和强烈抗癌作用的能力,对 U-87 MG 细胞(细胞增殖率低和凋亡水平高的特征导致细胞存活率低)。最佳抗癌效果源自热疗慢性刺激和替莫唑胺控释的协同组合,突出了载药脂质磁性纳米载体治疗多形性胶质母细胞瘤的潜力。
