Combination chemotherapy has become a treatment modality for breast cancer. However, serious side effects and high cytotoxicity associated with this combination therapy make it a high-risk method for breast cancer treatment. This study evaluated the anticancer effect of decorated niosomal nanocarriers loaded with cisplatin (CIS) and epirubicin (EPI) (on SKBR3 and 4T1 breast cancer cells) and on BALB/c mice. For this purpose, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and folic acid (FA) were employed to prepare a functionalized niosomal system to improve endocytosis. FA-PEGylated niosomes exhibited desired encapsulation efficiencies of ∼91.2 and 71.9% for CIS and EPI, respectively. Moreover, cellular assays disclosed that a CIS and EPI-loaded niosome (NCE) and FA-PEGylated niosomal CIS and EPI (FPNCE) enhanced the apoptosis rate and cell migration in SKBR3 and 4T1 cells compared to CIS, EPI, and their combination (CIS+EPI). For FPNCE and NCE groups, the expression levels of , , , and genes increased, whereas the expression of , , , and genes was downregulated. Histopathology results showed a reduction in the mitosis index, invasion, and pleomorphism in BALB/c inbred mice with NCE and FPNCE treatment. In this paper, for the first time, we report a niosomal nanocarrier functionalized with PEG and FA for codelivery of CIS and EPI to treat breast cancer. The results demonstrated that the codelivery of CIS and EPI through FA-PEGylated niosomes holds great potential for breast cancer treatment.
联合化疗已成为乳腺癌的一种治疗方式。然而,这种联合疗法伴随的严重副作用和高细胞毒性使其成为一种治疗乳腺癌的高风险方法。本研究评估了载顺铂(CIS)和表阿霉素(EPI)的装饰性脂质体纳米载体(对 SKBR3 和 4T1 乳腺癌细胞)和 BALB/c 小鼠的抗癌作用。为此,使用聚乙二醇(PEG)和叶酸(FA)制备功能化的脂质体系统以改善内吞作用。FA-PEG 化脂质体分别表现出对 CIS 和 EPI 的约 91.2%和 71.9%的理想包封效率。此外,细胞试验表明,与 CIS、EPI 及其组合(CIS+EPI)相比,载 CIS 和 EPI 的脂质体(NCE)和 FA-PEG 化脂质体 CIS 和 EPI(FPNCE)增强了 SKBR3 和 4T1 细胞的细胞凋亡率和细胞迁移。对于 FPNCE 和 NCE 组,基因 、 、 、和 的表达水平增加,而基因 、 、 、和 的表达水平下调。组织病理学结果表明,NCE 和 FPNCE 治疗可降低 BALB/c 近交系小鼠的有丝分裂指数、侵袭和多形性。在本文中,我们首次报道了一种用 PEG 和 FA 功能化的脂质体纳米载体用于共递送 CIS 和 EPI 以治疗乳腺癌。结果表明,FA-PEG 化脂质体共递送 CIS 和 EPI 具有治疗乳腺癌的巨大潜力。
