Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive tumor with high mortality and poor prognosis. In this study, we designed a liposome encapsulating polymeric micelles (PMs) loaded with vinorelbine (NVB) and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin or CDDP) for the treatment of NSCLC.
Sodium poly(α-l-glutamic acid)-graft-methoxy-polyethylene glycol (PLG-G-PEG) was used to prepare NVB-loaded NVB-PMs and CDDP-loaded CDDP-PMs that were co-encapsulated into liposomes by a reverse evaporation method, yielding NVB and CDDP co-delivery liposomes (CoNP-lips) composed of egg phosphatidyl lipid-80/cholesterol/DPPG/DSPE-mPEG at a molar ratio of 52:32:14:2. The CoNP-lips were characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, drug content, encapsulation efficiency, and structural properties. Drug release by the CoNP-lips as well as their stability and cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro, and their antitumor efficacy was assessed in a mouse xenograft model of Lewis lung carcinoma cell-derived tumors.
CoNP-lips had a spherical shape with uniform size distribution; the average particle size was 162.97±9.06 nm, and the average zeta potential was -13.02±0.22 mV. In vitro cytotoxicity analysis and the combination index demonstrated that the CoNP-lips achieved a synergistic cytotoxic effect at an NVB:CDDP weight ratio of 2:1 in an NSCLC cell line. There was sustained release of both drugs from CoNP-lips. The pharmacokinetic analysis showed that CoNP-lips had a higher plasma half-life than NP solution, with 6.52- and 8.03-fold larger areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of NVB and CDDP. CoNP-lips showed antitumor efficacy in tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice and drug accumulation in tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention effect.
CoNP-lips are a promising formulation for targeted therapy in NSCLC.
非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)是一种侵袭性肿瘤,死亡率高,预后差。在本研究中,我们设计了一种包载长春瑞滨(NVB)和顺铂(CDDP)的脂质体包载聚合物胶束(PMs)用于治疗 NSCLC。
采用聚(α-谷氨酸-γ-聚乙二醇)接枝聚天冬氨酸(PLG-G-PEG)制备载 NVB 的 NVB-PMs 和载 CDDP 的 CDDP-PMs,然后采用逆相蒸发法将两者共包载到脂质体中,得到由蛋黄磷脂酰胆碱-80/胆固醇/二棕榈酰磷脂酰甘油(DPPG)/二硬脂酰基磷脂酰乙醇胺-聚乙二醇(DSPE-mPEG)以摩尔比 52:32:14:2 组成的 NVB 和 CDDP 共载脂质体(CoNP-lips)。对 CoNP-lips 的粒径、Zeta 电位、载药量、包封率和结构性质进行了表征。在体外评价了 CoNP-lips 的药物释放、稳定性和细胞毒性,并在 Lewis 肺癌细胞衍生肿瘤的小鼠异种移植模型中评估了其抗肿瘤疗效。
CoNP-lips 呈球形,粒径分布均匀;平均粒径为 162.97±9.06nm,平均 Zeta 电位为-13.02±0.22mV。体外细胞毒性分析和组合指数表明,在 NSCLC 细胞系中,当 NVB:CDDP 重量比为 2:1 时,CoNP-lips 具有协同的细胞毒性作用。两种药物均能持续从 CoNP-lips 中释放。药代动力学分析表明,CoNP-lips 较 NP 溶液具有更高的血浆半衰期,NVB 和 CDDP 的受试者工作特征曲线下面积分别增大了 6.52 倍和 8.03 倍。CoNP-lips 在荷瘤 C57BL/6 小鼠中表现出抗肿瘤疗效,并通过增强的通透性和滞留效应使肿瘤内药物蓄积。
CoNP-lips 是一种有前途的 NSCLC 靶向治疗制剂。
