Chemoresistance is a major therapeutic obstacle in the treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, how to overcome chemoresistance is a problem to be solved. Here, a glutathione (GSH)/cathepsin B (CB) dual-controlled nanomedicine formed by cyclic disulfide-bridged peptide (cyclic-1a) as a potent anticancer agent is reported. Under the sequential treatment of GSH and CB, cyclic-1a can efficiently self-assemble into nanofibers. studies show that cyclic-1a promotes the apoptosis of MCF-7/DOX cells by inducing the cleavages of caspase-3 and PARP. studies confirm that cyclic-1a significantly inhibits the progression of MCF-7/DOX cells-derived xenograft in nude mice, with no obvious adverse reactions. This study provides a paradigm of GSH/CB dual-controlled nanomedicine for high-efficacy and low-toxic DOX-resistant breast cancer therapy.
化疗耐药是乳腺癌治疗中的主要治疗障碍。因此,如何克服化疗耐药是一个亟待解决的问题。在此,报道了一种由环状二硫键桥联肽(环状-1a)作为强效抗癌剂形成的谷胱甘肽(GSH)/组织蛋白酶B(CB)双控纳米药物。在GSH和CB的顺序处理下,环状-1a能有效地自组装成纳米纤维。研究表明,环状-1a通过诱导caspase-3和PARP的裂解促进MCF-7/DOX细胞凋亡。研究证实,环状-1a显著抑制MCF-7/DOX细胞衍生的裸鼠异种移植瘤的进展,且无明显不良反应。本研究为高效低毒的耐多柔比星乳腺癌治疗提供了一种GSH/CB双控纳米药物的范例。
