Their morphology, particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, release profiles, and targeting effects were studied. The antitumor effects of the docetaxel-loaded nano-micelles were investigated in a MDA-MB-231 cell model in vitro and a MDA-MB-231 xenograft model in vivo.Results: The prepared RGD-modified docetaxel-loaded lipid-core micelles were spherical with a particle size of 16.44± 1.35 nm, zeta potential of − 19.24± 1.24 mV, and an encapsulation efficiency of 96.52± 0.43%. The drug delivery system showed sustained release properties and could significantly enhance docetaxel uptake by MDA-MB-231 tumor cells in vitro, which was proved to be a caveolae pathway mediated process requiring ATP, Golgi apparatus, and acid lysosomes. The results of the pharmacokinetic study displayed that the area under the curve of the targeted micelles was 3.2-times higher than that of docetaxel commercial injections. Furthermore, in a MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice model, a higher antitumor efficacy than docetaxel commercial injections was displayed, and the safety experiments showed that the micellar material did not cause major organ damage after intravenous administration in mice.Conclusion: The novel RGD-modified PEGylated lipid-core micelle delivery system significantly improved the antitumor effects and reduced the side-effects of docetaxel, providing a promising therapeutics for the treatment of TNBC.Keywords: docetaxel, lipid-core micelles, RGD peptide, breast cancer therapyChen RNi SChen WLiu MFeng JHu KDove Medical Pressarticledocetaxellipid-core micellesrgd peptidebreast cancer therapyMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 5265-5279 (2021)
