GA was solubilized into the inner core of HECS-ss-OA micelles, while HA was employed to coat outside HECS-ss-OA/GA for CD44-mediated active targeting along with protection from cation-associated in vivo defects. The desirable redox-sensitivity of HA(HECS-ss-OA)/GA was demonstrated by morphology and particle size changes alongside in vitro drug release of nanoparticles in different simulated reducing environments.Results: The results of flow cytometry and confocal microscopy confirmed the HA-receptor mediated cellular uptake and burst drug release in highly reducing cytosol of HA(HECS-ss-OA)/GA. Consequently, HA(HECS-ss-OA)/GA showed the highest apoptosis induction and cytotoxicity over the non-sensitive (HA(HECS-cc-OA)/GA) and HA un-coated (HECS-ss-OA/GA) controls against A549 NSCLC model both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a diminished systemic cytotoxicity was observed in HA(HECS-ss-OA)/GA treated mice compared with those treated by HA un-coated cationic ones and GA solution.Keywords: gambogic acid, nanoparticles, redox-sensitive, intracellular drug delivery, tumorXu WWang HDong LZhang PMu YCui XZhou JHuo MYin TDove Medical Pressarticlegambogic acidnanoparticlesredox-sensitiveintracellular drug deliverytumorMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4649-4666 (2019)
