The co-cultured system composed of BEL-7402 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cells was established to effectively evaluate in vitro anti-tumor activity through cell viability and cell migration assay. Furthermore, both in vivo bio-distribution and anti-hepatoma effect of DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were investigated on H22 tumor cell-bearing mice.Results: The results showed that DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were spherical with a mean particle size of 143 nm, and could readily be taken up by BEL-7402 cells. Compared with a mixture of free DOX and CA4P, the DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were more effective in inhibiting cell migration and exhibited stronger cytotoxicity against BEL-7402 cells alone or a co-cultured system. The in vitro studies showed that the co-cultured system was a more effective model to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of combination therapy. Moreover, DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs exhibited a greater anti-hepatoma effect than other drug formulations, indicating that Gal-LPs could promote drug accumulation in the tumor region and improve the anti-tumor activity.Conclusion: Gal-LPs co-loaded with chemotherapeutic and antiangiogenic drugs are a promising strategy for anti-hepatoma therapy.Keywords: liposomes, anti-hepatoma, co-delivery, combination therapyLian BWei HPan RSun JZhang BWu JLi XTian GDove Medical Pressarticleliposomesanti-hepatomaco-deliverycombination therapyMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 457-467 (2021)
