BACKGROUND: Naringenin has shown great promise in the realm of cancer therapeutics, demonstrating excellent cytotoxic action toward cancer cells and the enhanced effects of radiation therapy . However, the medicinal value of naringenin is severely limited clinically by poor bioavailability. Thus, multiple drug-delivery strategies for overcoming this limitation have been developed, of which liposomes are considered the most suitable due to their amphiphilic, modifiable, and biocompatible characteristics. In this study, we investigated the role of naringenin and liposomal-delivered naringenin as adjuncts to radiotherapy in the MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cell line . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Liposomal-naringenin was synthesized by thin-film hydration and extrusion and was characterized by spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential. The effects of free-from naringenin and liposomal-naringenin were evaluated toward MDA-MB-231 cell viability when combined with varying doses of radiation. Additionally, cell growth patterns, morphology, and colony formation were evaluated. RESULTS: The analysis demonstrated IC values of 387.5 and 546.6 g/ml for naringenin and liposomal-naringenin, respectively. Naringenin and liposomal-naringenin significantly lowered cell viability, proliferation, and colony formation dose-dependently, as compared to radiation in isolation. CONCLUSION: The findings presented herein concur with previous accounts of the radiosensitizing potential of naringenin and further highlight the considerable biomedical application of liposomal-naringenin within the realm of radiotherapy.
背景:柚皮素在癌症治疗领域显示出巨大的应用前景,对癌细胞具有极好的细胞毒性作用,并增强放射治疗的效果。然而,柚皮素的药用价值在临床上受到生物利用度差的严重限制。因此,已经开发了多种克服这一限制的药物递送策略,其中脂质体由于其两亲性、可修饰性和生物相容性而被认为是最合适的。在这项研究中,我们研究了柚皮素和脂质体递送的柚皮素作为放射治疗辅助剂在 MDA-MB-231 三阴性乳腺癌细胞系中的作用。
材料和方法:通过薄膜水化和挤压合成脂质体-柚皮素,并通过分光光度法、动态光散射和zeta 电位进行表征。评估游离柚皮素和脂质体-柚皮素与不同剂量放射联合使用对 MDA-MB-231 细胞活力的影响。此外,还评估了细胞生长模式、形态和集落形成。
结果:分析表明,柚皮素和脂质体-柚皮素的 IC 值分别为 387.5 和 546.6μg/ml。与单独放射治疗相比,柚皮素和脂质体-柚皮素显著降低了细胞活力、增殖和集落形成,呈剂量依赖性。
结论:本研究结果与柚皮素具有放射增敏作用的先前报道一致,并进一步强调了脂质体-柚皮素在放射治疗领域的重要生物医学应用。
