We report the coencapsulation of fluorocoxib Q (FQ) and chemocoxib A (CA) in micellar nanoparticles (FQ-CA-NPs) of a new PPS--POEGA diblock polymer, which exhibited a hydrodynamic diameter of 109.2 ± 4.1 nm and a zeta potential (ζ) of -1.59 ± 0.3 mV. The uptake of FQ-CA-NPs by 4T1 mouse mammary cancer cells and intracellular cargo release were assessed by fluorescence microscopy that resulted in increased fluorescence in 4T1 cells compared to cells pretreated with celecoxib. The viability of primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) or 4T1 mouse mammary carcinoma cells treated with FQ-CA-NPs were assessed, which showed decreased growth of 4T1 breast cancer cells but showed no effect on the growth of primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). Intravenous dosing of FQ-CA-NPs in mice enabled ROS-induced cargo (FQ and CA) release and fluorescence activation of FQ and resulted in increased fluorescence in breast tumors compared to the tumors of animals pretreated with tempol or celecoxib, and minimum fluorescence was detected in the tumors of animals treated with nothing or empty-NPs. In addition, tumor tissues from treated animals were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS, and identified increased levels of cargo delivery and retention in the tumor compared to tempol- or celecoxib-pretreated animal tumors. These and results confirmed the targeted delivery of loaded NPs followed by ROS-mediated cargo release and fluorescence activation for targeted visualization of drug delivery in breast tumors and CA-induced therapeutic effect in an tumor growth inhibition assay and an hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of tumor tissues. Thus, coencapsulation of FQ and CA into polymeric micellar nanoparticles (FQ-CA-NPs) enabled their ROS-sensitive release followed by fluorescence activation and COX-2-dependent tumor targeting and retention in the visualization of CA delivery in solid breast tumors.
我们报道了将氟考昔Q(FQ)和化学考昔A(CA)共包裹于一种新型PPS - POEGA二嵌段聚合物的胶束纳米颗粒(FQ - CA - NPs)中,该纳米颗粒的流体动力学直径为109.2±4.1 nm,zeta电位(ζ)为 - 1.59±0.3 mV。通过荧光显微镜评估了4T1小鼠乳腺癌细胞对FQ - CA - NPs的摄取以及细胞内货物释放情况,结果显示与用塞来昔布预处理的细胞相比,4T1细胞中的荧光增强。评估了用FQ - CA - NPs处理的原代人乳腺上皮细胞(HMECs)或4T1小鼠乳腺癌细胞的活力,结果显示4T1乳腺癌细胞的生长受到抑制,但对原代人乳腺上皮细胞(HMECs)的生长没有影响。给小鼠静脉注射FQ - CA - NPs可实现ROS诱导的货物(FQ和CA)释放以及FQ的荧光激活,与用tempol或塞来昔布预处理的动物肿瘤相比,乳腺肿瘤中的荧光增强,在用空白或空纳米颗粒处理的动物肿瘤中检测到的荧光最低。此外,通过液相色谱 - 质谱联用(LC - MS)/ MS分析了处理动物的肿瘤组织,与tempol或塞来昔布预处理的动物肿瘤相比,发现肿瘤中货物递送和保留水平增加。这些结果证实了负载纳米颗粒的靶向递送,随后是ROS介导的货物释放和荧光激活,用于乳腺肿瘤中药物递送的靶向可视化以及CA在肿瘤生长抑制试验和肿瘤组织苏木精和伊红(H&E)染色中的治疗效果。因此,将FQ和CA共包裹到聚合物胶束纳米颗粒(FQ - CA - NPs)中可实现它们对ROS敏感的释放,随后是荧光激活以及COX - 2依赖性肿瘤靶向和保留,用于实体乳腺肿瘤中CA递送的可视化。
