A novel nanodrug delivery system (NDDS) based on block copolymers of Poly(DEA)-block-Poly(PgMA) (PDPP) was developed to enhance in vitro cellular uptake and anticancer efficacy. pH-responsive doxorubicin (DOX) based small molecule prodrug (DOX-hyd-N) and mPEG-N were co-conjugated onto PDPP via copper-catalyzed "Click chemistry" to give a dual pH-responsive polymeric prodrug (mPEG-g-PDPP-g-hyd-DOX), which could be self-assembled into core-shell polymeric micelles (M(DOX)) with particles size of 81 ± 1 nm in aqueous phase. Additionally, the pH-responsive charge-reversal, stability and drug release behaviour at different pHs were then evaluated. Moreover, the surface charge of M(DOX) could quickly convert from negative (-6.64 ± 3.37 mV) to positive (5.35 ± 1.33 mV) thanks to the protonation of Poly(DEA) moieties as the pH value decreased from 7.4 during blood circulation to 6.5 in extracellular of tumour tissues. Meanwhile, according to the cytotoxicity determined by CCK-8 assay, cellular uptake, flow-cytometric and apoptosis profiles of two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and SW480), we could draw the conclusion that the cellular uptake and anticancer efficacy were significantly enhanced when cells were incubated with micelles at pH 6.5 due to the charge-reversal of micelles from negative to positive. With the protonation of Poly(DEA) moieties in acidic extracellular microenvironment and the pH-responsive DOX release with hydrazone linkage in endo/lysosome pH, this dual pH-responsive-charge-reversal micelle platform might become an encouraging strategy for more effective cancer treatment.
基于聚(二乙胺)-嵌段-聚(甲基丙烯酸丙酯)(PDPP)嵌段共聚物开发了一种新型纳米药物递送系统(NDDS),以提高体外细胞摄取和抗癌效果。基于pH响应性阿霉素(DOX)的小分子前药(DOX-hyd-N)和甲氧基聚乙二醇-N(mPEG-N)通过铜催化的“点击化学”共缀合到PDPP上,得到一种双pH响应性聚合物前药(mPEG-g-PDPP-g-hyd-DOX),其在水相中可自组装成粒径为81±1nm的核壳聚合物胶束(M(DOX))。此外,还评估了其在不同pH值下的pH响应性电荷反转、稳定性和药物释放行为。此外,由于在血液循环过程中pH值从7.4降至肿瘤组织细胞外的6.5时,聚(二乙胺)部分发生质子化,M(DOX)的表面电荷可迅速从负(-6.64±3.37mV)转变为正(5.35±1.33mV)。同时,根据CCK-8法测定的细胞毒性、两种人类癌细胞系(HeLa和SW480)的细胞摄取、流式细胞术和凋亡情况,我们可以得出结论,当细胞在pH 6.5条件下与胶束孵育时,由于胶束从负电荷到正电荷的转变,细胞摄取和抗癌效果显著增强。在酸性细胞外微环境中聚(二乙胺)部分的质子化以及在内质网/溶酶体pH值下通过腙键实现pH响应性DOX释放,这种双pH响应性电荷反转胶束平台可能成为一种更有效的癌症治疗的鼓舞人心的策略。
