In the current study, a tumor microenvironment responsive (TME-responsive) copper peroxide-mesoporous silica core-shell structure with HO self-supplying ability was fabricated for targeted ferroptosis/chemotherapy against metastatic breast cancer. At the first stage, copper peroxide nanodot was synthesized and subsequently coated with mesoporous organosilica shell. After (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTMS) functionalization of the organosilica shell, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in the mesoporous structure of the nanoparticles and then, heterofunctional COOH-PEG-Maleimide was decorated on the surface through EDC/NHS chemistry. Afterward, thiol-functionalized AS1411 aptamer was conjugated to the maleimide groups of the PEGylated nanoparticles. In vitro study illustrated ROS generation of the system in the treated 4 T1 cell. Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity experiments showed enhanced internalization and cytotoxicity of the targeted system comparing to non-targeted one. The in vivo study on ectopic 4 T1 tumor induced in Female BALB/c mice showed ideal therapeutic effect of Apt-PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX with approximately 90 % tumor suppression in comparison with 50 % and 25 % tumor suppression for PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX and PEG-Silica-DOT. Moreover, Apt-PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX provide favorable characteristics for biosafety issues concerning the rate of survival and loss of body weight. The prepared platform could serve as a multifunctional system with smart behavior in drug release, tumor accumulation and capable for ferroptosis/chemotherapy against breast cancer.
在当前的研究中,制备了一种具有 HO 自供给能力的肿瘤微环境响应(TME 响应)过氧化铜-介孔硅核壳结构,用于针对转移性乳腺癌的靶向铁死亡/化疗。在第一阶段,合成了过氧化铜纳米点,随后用介孔有机硅壳包裹。在对有机硅壳进行(3-氨丙基)三乙氧基硅烷(APTMS)功能化后,将阿霉素(DOX)载入纳米颗粒的介孔结构中,然后通过 EDC/NHS 化学将异官能团 COOH-PEG-Maleimide 修饰在表面上。随后,将巯基功能化的 AS1411 适体与聚乙二醇化纳米颗粒上的马来酰亚胺基团连接。体外研究表明,该系统在处理的 4T1 细胞中产生 ROS。细胞摄取和细胞毒性实验表明,与非靶向系统相比,靶向系统的内化和细胞毒性增强。在雌性 BALB/c 小鼠中异位诱导的 4T1 肿瘤的体内研究表明,与 PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX 的 50%和 25%肿瘤抑制相比,Apt-PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX 具有理想的治疗效果,约 90%的肿瘤抑制。此外,Apt-PEG-Silica-DOT@DOX 为涉及存活率和体重减轻的生物安全问题提供了良好的特性。该制备平台可作为一种具有药物释放、肿瘤积累智能行为的多功能系统,能够针对乳腺癌进行铁死亡/化疗。
