: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains the most aggressive primary brain tumor, characterized by high malignancy, recurrence rate, and dismal prognosis, thereby demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. In this study, we report a novel in situ targeting inclusion complex hydrogel hybrid system (DOX/RGD-CD@Gel) that integrates doxorubicin (DOX) with RGD-conjugated cyclodextrin (RGD-CD) and a thermosensitive hydrogel for enhanced GBM therapy. : The DOX/RGD-CD@Gel system was prepared by conjugating doxorubicin (DOX) with RGD-modified cyclodextrin (RGD-CD) and embedding it into a thermosensitive hydrogel. The drug delivery and antitumor efficacy of this system were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. : In vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated that DOX/RGD-CD@Gel significantly enhanced cytotoxicity compared to free DOX or DOX/CD formulations. The targeted delivery system effectively promoted apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation and metastasis in GBM cells. Moreover, the hydrogel-based system exhibited prolonged drug retention in the brain, as evidenced by its temperature- and pH-responsive release characteristics. In a GBM mouse model, DOX/RGD-CD@Gel significantly suppressed tumor growth and improved survival rates. : This study presents a paradigm of integrating a targeted inclusion complex with a thermosensitive hydrogel, offering a safe and efficacious strategy for localized GBM therapy with potential translational value.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)仍然是最具侵袭性的原发性脑肿瘤,其特点是恶性程度高、复发率高且预后不佳,因此需要创新的治疗策略。在本研究中,我们报告了一种新型的原位靶向包合物水凝胶混合系统(DOX/RGD-CD@Gel),该系统将阿霉素(DOX)与RGD共轭环糊精(RGD-CD)以及一种热敏水凝胶相结合,以增强对GBM的治疗效果。 DOX/RGD-CD@Gel系统是通过将阿霉素(DOX)与RGD修饰的环糊精(RGD-CD)共轭,并将其嵌入热敏水凝胶中制备而成。对该系统的药物递送和抗肿瘤效果进行了体外和体内评估。 体外和体内评估表明,与游离DOX或DOX/CD制剂相比,DOX/RGD-CD@Gel显著增强了细胞毒性。该靶向递送系统有效地促进了GBM细胞的凋亡,抑制了细胞增殖和转移。此外,基于水凝胶的系统在脑中表现出延长的药物滞留时间,其温度和pH响应释放特性证明了这一点。在GBM小鼠模型中,DOX/RGD-CD@Gel显著抑制了肿瘤生长并提高了生存率。 本研究提出了一种将靶向包合物与热敏水凝胶相结合的范例,为局部GBM治疗提供了一种安全有效的策略,具有潜在的转化价值。
