Abstract

The limitations associated with conventional cancer treatment modalities, particularly for breast cancer, underscore the imperative for developing safer and more productive drug delivery systems. A promising strategy that has emerged is the combination of chemotherapy with gas therapy. We synthesized curcumin-loaded amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles (Cur-CaCO) via a gas diffusion reaction in the present study. Subsequently, a "one-step" ethanol injection method was employed to fabricate lipid-coated calcium carbonate nanoparticles (Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip) loaded with L-arginine, aimed at harnessing the synergistic effects of chemotherapy and nitric oxide to enhance antitumor efficacy. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip nanoparticles were subspherical with a distinct lipid layer encapsulating the periphery. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry results confirmed the successful synthesis of Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip. The nanoparticles exhibited significant drug loading capacities of 8.89% for curcumin and 3.1% for L-arginine. In vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrated that Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip nanoparticles facilitated sustained release of curcumin and exhibited high cellular uptake, substantial tumor accumulation, and excellent biocompatibility. Additionally, the nanoparticles showed robust cytotoxicity and potent antitumor efficacy, suggesting their potential as a formidable candidate for breast cancer therapy.

摘要

本研究通过气体扩散反应合成了载姜黄素的无定形碳酸钙纳米粒子(Cur-CaCO)。随后,采用“一步法”乙醇注入法制备了负载 L-精氨酸的脂质包覆碳酸钙纳米粒子(Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip),旨在利用化疗和一氧化氮的协同作用增强抗肿瘤疗效。透射电子显微镜分析表明,Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip 纳米粒子呈亚球形,具有明显的脂质层包裹在外围。傅里叶变换红外光谱、X 射线粉末衍射和差示扫描量热法结果证实了 Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip 的成功合成。纳米粒子对姜黄素的载药率高达 8.89%,对 L-精氨酸的载药率为 3.1%。体外和体内评估表明,Cur-CaCO@LA-Lip 纳米粒子促进了姜黄素的持续释放,并表现出高细胞摄取、大量肿瘤积累和优异的生物相容性。此外,纳米粒子表现出强大的细胞毒性和有效的抗肿瘤功效,表明其有潜力成为乳腺癌治疗的有力候选者。
