Nano micelles (NMs) have been widely used for various biomedical applications due to its unique physiochemical properties. This study aimed to investigated the anti-tumor effect of doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded Pluronic P123 (P123) and PEG2000-DSPE mixed NMs in drug-resistant breast cancer cells.
The expression of P-gp and MDR1 gene was highly expressed in MCF-7R but not MCF-7 cells. The cellular uptake of P123-PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) was higher than that of free Dox and PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) in MCF-7R cells. Furthermore, compared with free Dox, both PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) and P123-PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) significantly diminished cell viability, and promoted cell apoptosis in MCF-7R cells. In addition, the P123-modified NMs obviously inhibited the expression of P-gp and MDR1.
P123-PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) had a superior anti-tumor activity than PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) in MCF-7R cells through P-gp-mediated drug excretion and drug resistance mechanisms.
The PEG2000-DSPE NMs (PEG2000-DSPE), P123 and PEG2000-DSPE mixed NMs (P123-PEG2000-DSPE), Dox-loaded PEG2000-DSPE NMs (PEG2000-DSPE (Dox)), and Dox-loaded Pluronic P123 and PEG2000-DSPE mixed NMs (P123-PEG2000-DSPE (Dox)) were prepared, and then the morphologies and the size distribution of PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) and P123-PEG2000-DSPE (Dox) were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), respectively.
纳米胶束(NMs)由于其独特的物理化学性质,已广泛应用于各种生物医学应用。本研究旨在探讨载多柔比星(Dox)的 Pluronic P123(P123)和 PEG2000-DSPE 混合胶束(NMs)在耐药乳腺癌细胞中的抗肿瘤作用。
MCF-7R 细胞中 P-糖蛋白(P-gp)和多药耐药基因 1(MDR1)的表达高度上调,但 MCF-7 细胞中则没有。与游离 Dox 和 PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)相比,MCF-7R 细胞中 P123-PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)的细胞摄取量更高。此外,与游离 Dox 相比,PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)和 P123-PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)均显著降低 MCF-7R 细胞活力,并促进细胞凋亡。此外,P123 修饰的纳米粒明显抑制 P-gp 和 MDR1 的表达。
通过 P-gp 介导的药物外排和耐药机制,P123-PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)在 MCF-7R 细胞中的抗肿瘤活性优于 PEG2000-DSPE(Dox)。
