This study aimed to develop aptamer-anchored hyperbranched poly(amido amine) (HPAA) for the systemic delivery of and to evaluate its therapeutic potential against bone metastasis of prostate cancer in vivo and in vitro.
A glutathione (GSH)-responsive cationic HPAA was prepared by the Michael addition reaction. Furthermore, HPAA-PEG was produced by PEGylation, and then the aptamer targeted to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was conjugated to the HPAA-PEG. The obtained HPAA-PEG-APT could form nanocomplexes with through electrostatic adsorption.
The results of immunocytochemistry indicated that the complexes could target PSMA-expressing LNCaP cells. The ability of HPAA-PEG-APT to facilitate the delivery of into LNCaP cells was proven, and HPAA-PEG-APT/ demonstrated enhanced antitumor activity, lower cytotoxicity and better biocompatibility in vitro. Moreover, in a tibial injection tumor model, the intravenous injection of the HPAA-PEG-APT/ complex significantly inhibited cancer growth and extended the survival time.
This study provided an aptamer-anchored HPAA-loaded gene system to deliver for better therapeutic efficacy of bone metastasis of prostate cancer.
本研究旨在开发适体锚定的超支化聚(酰胺-胺)(HPAA)用于系统递送,并评估其在体内和体外治疗前列腺癌骨转移的潜力。
通过迈克尔加成反应制备谷胱甘肽(GSH)响应性阳离子 HPAA。此外,通过 PEGylation 制备 HPAA-PEG,然后将针对前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)的适体连接到 HPAA-PEG 上。所得的 HPAA-PEG-APT 可通过静电吸附与 形成纳米复合物。
免疫细胞化学结果表明,该复合物可以靶向表达 PSMA 的 LNCaP 细胞。证明了 HPAA-PEG-APT 能够促进 将 递送至 LNCaP 细胞,并且 HPAA-PEG-APT/显示出增强的抗肿瘤活性、更低的细胞毒性和更好的体外生物相容性。此外,在胫骨注射肿瘤模型中,静脉注射 HPAA-PEG-APT/ 复合物显著抑制了肿瘤生长并延长了存活时间。
本研究提供了一种适体锚定的负载基因的 HPAA 系统,用于递送 ,以提高前列腺癌骨转移的治疗效果。
