Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer and is prone to metastasis, making current clinical treatment quite difficult. The usage of the first-line medication dacarbazine (DTIC) for melanoma is limited due to harsh side effects, limited water solubility, and a short half-life. To tackle these disadvantages, polylactic acid-hydroxyacetic acid copolymer nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with dacarbazine and ursolic acid (NPs) were fabricated, which were further encapsulated with a red blood cell membrane (RNPs). MTT, apoptosis assay, wound healing assay, colony formation assay, and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the antitumor effect of NPs and RNPs. Ferroptosis evaluation was implemented using GSH detection and the malondialdehyde assay. We found that RNPs exhibited stability and biosafety in vitro and in vivo and achieved superior anticancer ability against xenograft tumors compared with single agents and NPs, which indicated the synergistic and biomimetic efficacy. Furthermore, ferroptotic activity was observed in RNPs-treated tumor cells, and ferroptosis inhibition could partially rescue melanoma cells from RNPs-induced cell death. Collectively, this study evaluated the potential of RNPs as a novel biomimetic nanomedicine for synergistic melanoma therapy by eliciting ferroptosis in tumor cells with both anticancer activity and biosafety.
黑色素瘤是最具侵袭性的癌症类型之一,易于转移,这使得当前的临床治疗颇具难度。一线药物达卡巴嗪(DTIC)用于黑色素瘤治疗时,因其副作用严重、水溶性有限且半衰期短,应用受到限制。为克服这些缺点,制备了负载达卡巴嗪和熊果酸的聚乳酸 - 羟基乙酸共聚物纳米颗粒(NPs),并进一步用红细胞膜包裹形成红细胞膜包载纳米颗粒(RNPs)。采用MTT法、凋亡检测、伤口愈合检测、集落形成检测和免疫组化来评估NPs和RNPs的抗肿瘤效果。通过谷胱甘肽(GSH)检测和丙二醛检测进行铁死亡评估。我们发现,RNPs在体外和体内均表现出稳定性和生物安全性,与单一药物及NPs相比,对异种移植肿瘤具有更强的抗癌能力,这表明了其协同和仿生功效。此外,在RNPs处理的肿瘤细胞中观察到铁死亡活性,铁死亡抑制可部分挽救黑色素瘤细胞免于RNPs诱导的细胞死亡。总体而言,本研究评估了RNPs作为一种新型仿生纳米药物用于协同治疗黑色素瘤的潜力,其通过诱导肿瘤细胞发生铁死亡,兼具抗癌活性和生物安全性。
