A targeted and controlled drug delivery system based on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophobic drugs in the presence of maltogenic amylase (MAase), as a cyclodextrin-hydrolyzing enzyme, and trastuzumab antibody has been developed. In this study, the inclusion complex of curcumin (CUR), as a model anticancer compound, with β-CD was prepared and we constructed an antibody-enzyme bioconjugate (dextran mediated MAase-Trastuzumab bioconjugate) for controlled and targeted release of CUR at HER2 positive cancer cells (including SKBR3 and BT474). Immunocytochemistry analysis indicated that the MAase-Trastuzumab bioconjugate had significant binding affinities to HER2 positive cancer cells and demonstrated high enzyme activity to degrade β-CD in order to rapid release of CUR on targeted cell surface. Fluorescence microscopy images and cytotoxicity studies represent significantly greater cellular uptake and anti-proliferative effects of CUR by β-CD-CUR/MAase-Trastuzumab bioconjugate compared to free CUR and β-CD-CUR in presence and absence of MAase in HER2 positive cells. The results from flow cytometric assay suggest that the β-CD-CUR/MAase-Trastuzumab conjugate exhibited higher cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on cancer cells compared to other formulation. We demonstrate that this formulation has a potential application for targeted and controlled release of drugs in cancer therapy with increased therapeutic efficiency.
基于β-环糊精(β-CD)的靶向和控制药物传递系统,用于在麦芽寡糖淀粉酶(MAase)存在下封装和控制疏水性药物的释放,作为环糊精水解酶,和曲妥珠单抗抗体已经开发出来。在这项研究中,姜黄素(CUR)的包合物,作为一种模型抗癌化合物,与β-CD 一起制备,我们构建了一种抗体-酶生物缀合物(葡聚糖介导的 MAase-曲妥珠单抗生物缀合物),用于在 HER2 阳性癌细胞(包括 SKBR3 和 BT474)中控制和靶向释放 CUR。免疫细胞化学分析表明,MAase-曲妥珠单抗生物缀合物对 HER2 阳性癌细胞具有显著的结合亲和力,并表现出高酶活性,以在靶向细胞表面快速释放 CUR。荧光显微镜图像和细胞毒性研究表明,与游离 CUR 和β-CD-CUR 相比,β-CD-CUR/MAase-Trastuzumab 生物缀合物在 HER2 阳性细胞中具有更高的 CUR 细胞摄取率和抗增殖作用,而 MAase 的存在与否。流式细胞术分析的结果表明,与其他制剂相比,β-CD-CUR/MAase-Trastuzumab 缀合物对癌细胞表现出更高的细胞毒性和凋亡作用。我们证明,这种制剂在癌症治疗中具有靶向和控制药物释放的潜力,可提高治疗效率。
