Supramolecular vesicles are a novel class of nanocarriers that have great potential in biomedicine. A multifunctional supramolecular vesicle (CAAP5G) based on the complex of CAAP5 and galactose derivative (G) assembled via host-guest interaction was constructed. Using Human embryonic kidney T (293T) cells as experimental models, the cytotoxic effects of CAAP5G was investigated to 0-50 µmol/L for 24 h. Notably, the CAAP5G vesicles revealed low-toxicity to 293T cells, it was critical to designing drug nano-carriers. Simultaneously, we have evaluated doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)-loaded CAAP5G vesicles anticancer efficiency, where DOX-loaded CAAP5G vesicles and free DOX incubated with Human hepatocellular carcinoma cancer cell (HpeG2 cells) and 293T cells for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h. It turned out that CAAP5G vesicles encapsulated anticancer drug (DOX) could decrease DOX side-effect on 293T cells and increase DOX anticancer efficiency. More importantly, the cysteamine as an adjuvant chemotherapy drug was released from CAAP5G vesicles in HepG2 cells where a higher GSH concentration exists. The adjuvant chemotherapy efficiency was evaluated, where free DOX and DOX-loaded CAAP5G vesicles incubated with DOX-resistance HepG2 cells (HepG2-ADR cells) for 24, 48, 72 h, respectively. The results revealed that the DOX encapsulated by CAAP5G vesicles could enhance the cytotoxicity of DOX and provide insights for designing advanced nano-carriers toward adjuvant chemotherapies.
超分子囊泡是一类新型的纳米载体,在生物医药领域具有巨大的应用潜力。基于 CAAP5 和半乳糖衍生物(G)通过主客体相互作用组装的多功能超分子囊泡(CAAP5G)构建。使用人胚肾 T(293T)细胞作为实验模型,研究了 CAAP5G 在 24 小时内对 0-50µmol/L 的细胞毒性作用。值得注意的是,CAAP5G 囊泡对 293T 细胞显示出低毒性,这对于设计药物纳米载体至关重要。同时,我们评估了盐酸阿霉素(DOX)负载 CAAP5G 囊泡的抗癌效率,将 DOX 负载的 CAAP5G 囊泡和游离 DOX 与人肝癌细胞(HpeG2 细胞)和 293T 细胞孵育 24 小时、48 小时、72 小时。结果表明,CAAP5G 囊泡包载抗癌药物(DOX)可以降低 DOX 对 293T 细胞的副作用,并提高 DOX 的抗癌效率。更重要的是,半胱胺作为一种辅助化疗药物,从 CAAP5G 囊泡中在 GSH 浓度较高的 HepG2 细胞中释放出来。评估了辅助化疗效率,将游离 DOX 和 DOX 负载的 CAAP5G 囊泡分别与 DOX 耐药 HepG2 细胞(HepG2-ADR 细胞)孵育 24、48、72 小时。结果表明,CAAP5G 囊泡包载的 DOX 可以增强 DOX 的细胞毒性,并为设计用于辅助化疗的先进纳米载体提供了思路。
