It is well-known that large size nanoparticles stay for a long time in the circulation system, but show poor tissue penetration and low cellular uptake. In order to reconcile the conflicting needs for extended circulation time, extensive tumor tissue penetration, and enhanced cellular uptake for nanodrug delivery systems, we designed DOX-containing hypersensitive nanoparticles that responded to the tumor microenvironment for programmed DOX delivery. A supersensitive polymer material, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-poly(methacryloyl sulfadimethoxine), was synthesized (PEOz--PSD, p = 6.96). At the physiological environment, PEOz--PSD and polyamidoamine/DOX (PAMAM/DOX) can form nanoparticles, PEOz--PSD/PAMAM/DOX (PEPSD/PAM/DOX), via electrostatic adsorption. The PEPSD/PAM/DOX has an intact structure, which can prolong circulation time. While in the tumor environment, the PEOz--PSD was rapidly protonated and showed charge reversal, leading the detachment of PEOz--PSD from the nanoparticles; then the large size nanoparticles with a negative charge (PEPSD/PAM/DOX) instantaneously turn into positively charged ultrafine nanoparticles. The sudden inversion of size and charge can effectively improve tumor accumulation and internal penetration. After entering tumor cells, nanoparticles can release drugs quickly through the action of a PAMAM proton sponge, resulting in enhanced tumor inhibition. Our results proved that the programmed nanoparticles could remarkably enhance the antitumor efficacy and reduce cardiotoxicity of DOX. This study designed ultrasensitive nanoparticles in the tumor microenvironment, which appear to be beneficial for enhancing the treatment efficacy of DOX in solid tumors.
众所周知,大尺寸纳米颗粒在循环系统中停留时间较长,但组织穿透性差,细胞摄取率低。为了协调延长循环时间、广泛的肿瘤组织穿透和增强纳米药物递送系统的细胞摄取之间的冲突需求,我们设计了含有 DOX 的超敏纳米颗粒,这些纳米颗粒可响应肿瘤微环境进行程序化 DOX 递药。合成了超敏聚合物材料聚(2-乙基-2-恶唑啉)-聚(甲丙烯酰基磺二甲氧基嘧啶)(PEOz--PSD,p = 6.96)。在生理环境中,PEOz--PSD 和聚酰胺胺/DOX(PAMAM/DOX)可以通过静电吸附形成纳米颗粒 PEOz--PSD/聚酰胺胺/DOX(PEPSD/PAM/DOX)。PEPSD/PAM/DOX 具有完整的结构,可以延长循环时间。而在肿瘤环境中,PEOz--PSD 迅速质子化并发生电荷反转,导致 PEOz--PSD 从纳米颗粒上脱离;然后带负电荷的大尺寸纳米颗粒(PEPSD/PAM/DOX)瞬间转变为带正电荷的超细纳米颗粒。尺寸和电荷的突然反转可以有效地提高肿瘤的积累和内部穿透。进入肿瘤细胞后,纳米颗粒可以通过 PAMAM 质子海绵的作用快速释放药物,从而增强肿瘤抑制作用。我们的结果证明,程序化纳米颗粒可以显著提高 DOX 的抗肿瘤疗效并降低其心脏毒性。本研究设计了在肿瘤微环境中具有超敏性的纳米颗粒,这似乎有利于提高 DOX 在实体瘤中的治疗效果。
