This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a nano-system capable of sequential release of PTXL and GEM within cancer cells.Methods: PTXL-ss-poly(6-O-methacryloyl-d-galactopyranose)-GEM (PTXL-ss-PMAGP-GEM) was designed by conjugating PMAGP with PTXL via disulfide bonds (-ss-), while GEM via succinic anhydride (PTXL:GEM=1:3). An amphiphilic block copolymer N-acetyl-d-glucosamine(NAG)-poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)58-b-polystyrene130 acted as a targeting moiety and emulsifier in formation of nanostructures (NLCs).Results: The PTXL-ss-PMAGP-GEM/NAG NLCs (119.6 nm) provided a sequential in vitro release of, first PTXL (redox-triggered), then GEM (pH-triggered). The redox- and pH-sensitive NLCs readily distributed homogenously in the cytoplasm. NAG augmented the uptake of NLCs by the cancer cells and tumor accumulation. PTXL-ss-PMAGP-GEM/NAG NLCs exhibited synergistic cytotoxicity in vitro and strongest antitumor effects in tumor-bearing mice compared to NLCs lacking pH/redox sensitivities or free drug combination.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the abilities of PTXL-ss-PMAGP-GEM/NAG NLCs to achieve synergistic antitumor effect by targeted intracellularly sequential drug release.Keywords: sequential release, redox-sensitive, pH-sensitive, synergistic efficiency, combination drug delivery, gemcitabine, paclitaxelLiang YZhang JTian BWu ZSvirskis DHan JDove Medical Pressarticlesequential releaseredox-sensitiveph-sensitivesynergistic efficiencycombination drug deliverygemcitabinepaclitaxelMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 841-855 (2020) |
