The combination of Ce6, an acknowledged photosensitizer, and TPL, a natural anticancer agent, has been demonstrated as a useful strategy to reinforce the tumor growth suppression, as well as decrease the systemic side effects compared with their monotherapy. However, in view of the optimal chemo-photodynamic combination efficiency, there is still short of the feasible nanovehicle to steadily co-deliver Ce6 and TPL, and stimuli-responsively burst release drugs in tumor site. Herein, we described the synergistic antitumor performance of a pH-sensitive supramolecular nanosystem, mediated by the host-guest complexing between β-CD and acid pH-responsive amphiphilic co-polymer mPEG-PBAE-mPEG, showing the shell-core structural micelles with the tight β-CD layer coating. Both Ce6 and TPL were facilely co-loaded into the spherical supramolecular NPs (TPL+Ce6/NPs) by one-step nanoprecipitation method, with an ideal particle size (156.0 nm), acid pH-responsive drug release profile, and enhanced cellular internalization capacity. In view of the combination benefit of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, as well as co-encapsulation in the fabricated pH-sensitive supramolecular NPs, TPL+Ce6/NPs exhibited significant efficacy to suppress cellular proliferation, boost ROS level, lower MMP, and promote cellular apoptosis . Particularly, fluorescence imaging revealed that TPL+Ce6/NPs preferentially accumulated in the tumor tissue area, with higher intensity than that of free Ce6. As expected, upon 650-nm laser irradiation, TPL+Ce6/NPs exhibited a cascade of amplified synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapeutic benefits to suppress tumor progression in both hepatoma H22 tumor-bearing mice and B16 tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, lower systemic toxicity was found in the tumor-bearing mice treated with TPL+Ce6/NPs. Overall, the designed supramolecular TPL+Ce6/NPs provided a promising alternative approach for chemo-photodynamic therapy in tumor treatment.
公认的光敏剂Ce6与天然抗癌剂TPL联合使用,已被证明是一种有效的策略,与单一疗法相比,可增强肿瘤生长抑制作用,并减少全身副作用。然而,鉴于最佳的化疗-光动力联合效率,仍缺乏可行的纳米载体来稳定地共递送Ce6和TPL,并在肿瘤部位实现刺激响应性药物爆发释放。在此,我们描述了一种pH敏感的超分子纳米系统的协同抗肿瘤性能,该系统由β-环糊精(β-CD)与酸pH响应性两亲共聚物甲氧基聚乙二醇-聚(β-氨基酯)-甲氧基聚乙二醇(mPEG-PBAE-mPEG)之间的主客体络合介导,呈现出具有紧密β-环糊精层涂层的核壳结构胶束。通过一步纳米沉淀法,Ce6和TPL都很容易地共负载到球形超分子纳米颗粒(TPL+Ce6/NPs)中,具有理想的粒径(156.0 nm)、酸pH响应性药物释放曲线和增强的细胞内化能力。鉴于光动力疗法和化疗的联合优势,以及在制备的pH敏感超分子纳米颗粒中共包封,TPL+Ce6/NPs在抑制细胞增殖、提高活性氧水平、降低线粒体膜电位(MMP)和促进细胞凋亡方面表现出显著疗效。特别地,荧光成像显示TPL+Ce6/NPs优先聚集在肿瘤组织区域,强度高于游离Ce6。正如预期的那样,在650 nm激光照射下,TPL+Ce6/NPs在肝癌H22荷瘤小鼠和B16荷瘤小鼠中均表现出一系列放大的协同化疗-光动力治疗益处,以抑制肿瘤进展。更重要的是,在用TPL+Ce6/NPs治疗的荷瘤小鼠中发现较低的全身毒性。总体而言,所设计的超分子TPL+Ce6/NPs为肿瘤治疗中的化疗-光动力疗法提供了一种有前景的替代方法。
