BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Aberrant upregulation or mutations of EZH2 frequently occur in human cancers. However, the clinical benefits of EZH2 inhibitors (EZH2i) remain unsatisfactory for majority of solid tumors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new strategies to expand the therapeutic benefits of EZH2i. Nanocarriers have gained increased attention due to their advantages of prolonged blood circulation, enhanced cellular uptake, and active targeting capabilities. This study aims to address the challenges of EZH2i GSK126's limited efficacy and severe adverse effects against solid tumors. METHODS: A nano delivery system was developed by encapsulating GSK126 within albumin nanoparticles (GSK126 NPs). RESULTS: The prepared GSK126 NPs exhibited a small spherical core with an average diameter of 30.09 nm ± 1.55 nm, high drug loading capacity (16.59% ± 2.86%) and good entrapment efficiency (99.53% ± 0.208%). GSK126 NPs decreased tumor weight and volume in the B16F10 xenograft mice, while such effects were not observed in the free GSK126 group. Subsequently, histological analysis demonstrated that GSK126 NPs significantly alleviated lipid-associated liver toxicity. Additionally, GSK126 NPs can partially counteract the effects of GSK126 on MDSCs, particularly by decreasing the infiltration of M-MDSCs into tumors. CONCLUSIONS: Albumin-based EZH2i NPs have potent anti-cancer efficacy with tolerable adverse effects, providing promising opportunity for future clinical translation in treating solid tumors.
背景与目的:EZH2的异常上调或突变在人类癌症中频繁发生。然而,对于大多数实体瘤而言,EZH2抑制剂(EZH2i)的临床疗效仍不尽人意。因此,迫切需要开发新策略以扩大EZH2i的治疗益处。纳米载体因其具有延长血液循环、增强细胞摄取和主动靶向能力等优势而受到越来越多的关注。本研究旨在应对EZH2i GSK126对实体瘤疗效有限及不良反应严重的挑战。 方法:通过将GSK126包裹于白蛋白纳米粒(GSK126 NPs)中构建纳米递送系统。 结果:制备的GSK126 NPs呈现出平均直径为30.09 nm±1.55 nm的小球形核心,具有高载药量(16.59%±2.86%)和良好的包封率(99.53%±0.208%)。GSK126 NPs可降低B16F10异种移植小鼠的肿瘤重量和体积,而游离GSK126组未观察到此类效果。随后,组织学分析表明GSK126 NPs可显著减轻脂质相关的肝毒性。此外,GSK126 NPs可部分抵消GSK126对髓系来源抑制细胞(MDSCs)的作用,特别是通过减少M-MDSCs向肿瘤内的浸润。 结论:基于白蛋白的EZH2i纳米粒具有有效的抗癌疗效且不良反应可耐受,为未来实体瘤治疗的临床转化提供了有前景的机会。
