BackgroundLiposomes, used to improve the therapeutic index of new and established drugs, have advanced with the insertion of active targeting. The lectin from Lotus tetragonolobus (LTL), which binds glycans containing alpha-1,2-linked fucose, reveals surface regionalized glycoepitopes in highly proliferative cells not detectable in normally growing cells. In contrast, other lectins localize the corresponding glycoepitopes all over the cell surface. LTL also proved able to penetrate the cells by an unconventional uptake mechanism.MethodsWe used confocal laser microscopy to detect and localize LTL-positive glycoepitopes and lectin uptake in two cancer cell lines. We then constructed doxorubicin-loaded liposomes functionalized with LTL. Intracellular delivery of the drug was determined in vitro and in vivo by confocal and electron microscopy.ResultsWe confirmed the specific localization of Lotus binding sites and the lectin uptake mechanism in the two cell lines and determined that LTL-functionalized liposomes loaded with doxorubicin greatly increased intracellular delivery of the drug, compared to unmodified doxorubicin-loaded liposomes. The LTL-Dox-L mechanism of entry and drug delivery was different to that of Dox-L and other liposomal preparations. LTL-Dox-L entered the cells one by one in tiny tubules that never fused with lysosomes. LTL-Dox-L injected in mice with melanoma specifically delivered loaded Dox to the cytoplasm of tumor cells.ConclusionsLiposome functionalization with LTL promises to broaden the therapeutic potential of liposomal doxorubicin treatment, decreasing non-specific toxicity.General significanceDoxorubicin-LTL functionalized liposomes promise to be useful in the development of new cancer chemotherapy protocols.  相似文献

Background

Chemotherapy of glioblastoma is largely ineffective as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents entry of most anticancer agents into the brain. For an efficient treatment of glioblastomas it is necessary to deliver anti-cancer drugs across the intact BBB. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles coated with poloxamer 188 hold great promise as drug carriers for brain delivery after their intravenous injection. In the present study the anti-tumour efficacy of the surfactant-coated doxorubicin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles against rat glioblastoma 101/8 was investigated using histological and immunohistochemical methods.

Methodology

The particles were prepared by a high-pressure solvent evaporation technique using 1% polyvinylalcohol (PLGA/PVA) or human serum albumin (PLGA/HSA) as stabilizers. Additionally, lecithin-containing PLGA/HSA particles (Dox-Lecithin-PLGA/HSA) were prepared. For evaluation of the antitumour efficacy the glioblastoma-bearing rats were treated intravenously with the doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles coated with poloxamer 188 using the following treatment regimen: 3×2.5 mg/kg on day 2, 5 and 8 after tumour implantation; doxorubicin and poloxamer 188 solutions were used as controls. On day 18, the rats were sacrificed and the antitumour effect was determined by measurement of tumour size, necrotic areas, proliferation index, and expression of GFAP and VEGF as well as Isolectin B4, a marker for the vessel density.

Conclusion

The results reveal a considerable anti-tumour effect of the doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles. The overall best results were observed for Dox-Lecithin-PLGA/HSA. These data demonstrate that the poloxamer 188-coated PLGA nanoparticles enable delivery of doxorubicin across the blood-brain barrier in the therapeutically effective concentrations.  相似文献

Abstract

Cancer therapy would clearly benefit from a carrier system capable of intracellular delivery of systemically administered drugs to cancer cells in solid tumors. Sterically stabilized immunoliposomes specific to the cells expressing HER2 protooncogene (anti-HER2 SIL), were designed by conjugating Fab’ fragments of a recombinant humanized anti-HER2 MAb to the distal termini of poly(ethylene glycol) chains on the surface of unilamellar liposomes (size 90–100 nm) of phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and poly (ethylene glycol)—derivatized phosphatidylethanolamine. Anti-HER2 SIL avidly and specifically bound to cultured HER2-overexpressing cancer cells (8,000–23,000 vesicles per cell) and became endocytosed (ke = 0.022–0.033 min.?1) via the coated pit pathway. Anti-HER2 SIL showed prolonged circulation lifetime in rats (blood MRT approx. 24 hours) and significantly increased antitumor activity of encapsulated doxorubicin against HER2-overexpressing human breast cancer xenografts in nude mice. Although the accumulation of anti-HER2 SIL in HER2-overexpressing tumor xenografts was not increased over that of non-targeted sterically stabilized liposomes (SL), microscopic examination revealed abundance of anti-HER2 SIL in the interstitial spaces, as well as within the cytoplasm of cancer cells, while identical liposomes lacking anti-HER2 Fab’ were located predominantly within tumor-resident macrophages. Anti-HER2 SIL, a targeted vehicle capable of in vivo intracellular delivery of substances to HER2-overexpressing solid cancers, enhances the potential for tumor targeting and opens new avenues for better treatment of cancer.  相似文献

A major reason for the high mortality of patients with bladder cancer (BC) is that chemotherapy and surgery are only effective for very limited patients. Thus, developing novel treatment options becomes an urgent need for improving clinical outcomes and the quality of life for BC patients. Here, we demonstrated that proguanil significantly inhibited the growth of BC in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, our results indicated that the sensitivity of BC cells to proguanil is positively correlated with the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Mechanistically, proguanil specifically targeted EGFR and promoted EGFR binding to Caveolin-1, enhanced its endocytosis in a Clathrin-independent manner, and then recruited c-Cbl to promote EGFR ubiquitination and degradation through the lysosomal pathway. Further studies suggested that proguanil induced autophagy by destabilizing EGFR and inhibiting its downstream signaling pathway. Thus, this study reveals the novel mechanism of proguanil on anticancer activity and implies the potential benefits of this drug in the treatment of BC.

An efficient synthesis of substituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines was carried out and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity against five cancer cell lines, namely hepatic cancer (HepG-2), prostate cancer (PC-3), colon cancer (HCT-116), breast cancer (MCF-7), and lung cancer (A-549) cell lines. Regarding HepG-2, PC-3, HCT-116 cancer cell lines, 7-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(3-methyl-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(p-tolyl)- pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (5a) exhibited strong, more potent anticancer (IC50: 0.3, 6.6 and 7?µM) relative to the standard doxorubicin (IC50: 0.6, 6.8 and 12.8?µM), respectively. Kinase inhibitory assessment of 5a showed promising inhibitory activity against three kinases namely PDGFR β, EGFR, and CDK4/cyclin D1 at two concentrations 50 and 100?µM in single measurements. Further, a molecular docking study for compound 5a was performed to verify the binding mode towards the EGFR and CDK4/cyclin D1 kinases.  相似文献

Specific targeting of tumor cells to achieve higher drug levels in tumor tissue and to overcome cardiotoxic and other secondary effects is the major goal in cancer therapy. With trastuzumab as a humanized monoclonal antibody binding, the HER2 receptor specific targeting is possible. In the present study, target-oriented nanoparticles based on biodegradable human serum albumin (HSA) loaded with cytostatic drug doxorubicin were developed. The surface of the nanoparticles was modified by covalent attachment of trastuzumab. HER2 overexpressing breast cancer cells showed a good cellular binding and uptake of these nanoparticles. The specific transport of the cytostatic drug doxorubicin with this nanoparticulate formulation into the HER2 overexpressing breast cancer cells, their release, and biological activity was demonstrated. The results indicate that these cell-type specific drug-loaded nanoparticles could achieve an improvement in cancer therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating a specific trastuzumab-based targeting of HER2 overexpressing breast cancer cells with doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles.  相似文献

IntroductionSeveral cytotoxic anticancer drugs inhibit DNA replication and/or mitosis, while EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors inactivate EGFR signalling in cancer cell. Both types of anticancer drugs improve the overall survival of the patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although tumors often become refractory to this treatment. Despite several mechanisms by which the tumors become resistant having been described the effect of these compounds on anti-tumor immunity remains largely unknown.MethodsThis study examines the effect of the cytotoxic drug Gemcitabine and the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor Gefitinib on the expression of NK group 2 member D (NKG2D) ligands as well as the sensitivity of NSCLC cells to the NK-mediated lysis.ResultsWe demonstrate that Gemcitabine treatment leads to an enhanced expression, while Gefitinib downregulated the expression of molecules that act as key ligands for the activating receptor NKG2D and promote NK cell-mediated recognition and cytolysis. Gemcitabine activated ATM and ATM- and Rad-3-related protein kinase (ATR) pathways. The Gemcitabine-induced phosphorylation of ATM as well as the upregulation of the NKG2D ligand expression could be blocked by an ATM-ATR inhibitor. In contrast, Gefitinib attenuated NKG2D ligand expression. Silencing EGFR using siRNA or addition of the PI3K inhibitor resulted in downregulation of NKG2D ligands. The observations suggest that the EGFR/PI3K pathway also regulates the expression of NKG2D ligands. Additionally, we showed that both ATM-ATR and EGFR regulate MICA/B via miR20a.ConclusionIn keeping with the effect on NKG2D expression, Gemcitabine enhanced NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity while Gefitinib attenuated NK cell killing in NSCLC cells.  相似文献

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common, and most aggressive primary brain tumor among adults. A vast majority of the tumors express high levels of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a consequence of gene amplification. Furthermore, gene amplification is often associated with mutation of EGFR, and the constitutive activated deletion variant EGFRvIII is the most common EGFR mutation found in GBM. Activated EGFR signaling, through overexpression and/or mutation, is involved in increased tumorigenic potential. As such, EGFR is an attractive target for GBM therapy. However, clinical studies with EGFR inhibitors have shown inconsistent results, and as such, further knowledge regarding the role of EGFR and EGFRvIII in GBM is needed. For this, an appropriate in vivo/in vitro tumor model is required. Here, we report the establishment of an experimental GBM model in which the expressions of EGFR and EGFRvIII are maintained both in xenograft tumors growing subcutaneously on mice and in cell cultures established in stem cell conditions. With this model it will be possible to further study the role of EGFR and EGFRvIII, and response to targeted therapy, in GBM.  相似文献

目的:研究综合治疗的非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)脑转移瘤患者生存预后影响因素,为NSCLC脑转移瘤的治疗提供更多的参考依据。方法:收集83例诊断为NSCLC脑转移瘤的患者进行回顾性研究,随访后建立临床资料数据库,采用单因素分析及Cox回归模型分析不同因素对非小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤患者生存期的影响。结果:患者中位生存期为11个月,6月、12月、18月的生存率分别为79.0%、32.7%、19.4%。经单因素和多因素分析结果显示脑转移瘤的病理类型、原发灶控制情况、治疗方式、靶向治疗是NSCLC脑转移生存的独立影响预后因素。单发转移瘤中,手术联合全脑放疗(Whole brain radiotherapy,WBRT)与手术相比风险率(hazard rate,HR)为0.645(P>0.05),说明联合方式并没有在生存中获益。多发转移瘤中,手术与WBRT相结合与单纯手术对比HR=0.297(P<0.05),有统计学意义。结论:病理类型为非腺癌,原发灶未得到控制,治疗方式不当以及未应用靶向治疗是NSCLC脑转移瘤的独立危险因素。对于单发脑转移瘤患者的局部治疗,单独手术治疗可能具有更高的优势;对于多发脑转移瘤患者的局部治疗,手术与WBRT联合可能具有更多的生存获益。  相似文献

The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) family is well-recognized as vital targets for the treatment of hepatocarcinoma cancer (HCC) clinically, whereas the survival benefit of target therapy sorafenib is not satisfactory for liver cancer patients due to metastasis. EGFR and MET are two molecules of the RTK family that were related to the survival time of liver cancer patients and resistance to targeted therapy in clinical reports. However, the mechanism and clinical therapeutic value of EGFR/MET in HCC metastasis are still not completely clarified. The study confirmed that EGFR/MET was highly expressed in HCC cells and tissues and the phosphorylation was stable after metastasis. The expression of EGFR/MET was up-regulated in circulating tumor microemboli (CTM) to accelerate IL-8 production and resistance to the lethal effect of leukocytes. Meanwhile, highly expressed EGFR/MET effectively regulated the Ras/MAPK pathway and stabilized suspended HCC cells by facilitating proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. Moreover, EGFR/MET promoted phosphorylation of hetero-RTKs, which was dependent on high-energy phosphoric acid compounds rather than their direct interactions. In conclusion, highly expressed EGFR/MET could be used in CTM identification and suitable for preventing metastasis of HCC in clinical practice.Subject terms: Liver cancer, Metastasis  相似文献

Fasting reduces gastrointestinal cellular proliferation rates through G1 cycle blockade and can promote cellular protection of normal but not cancer cells through altered cell signaling including down-regulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Consequently, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of fasting on delayed-type chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in dogs receiving doxorubicin. This prospective randomized crossover study involved intended administration of two doses of doxorubicin. Cancer-bearing dogs were randomized to be fasted for 24 hours beginning at 6 P.M. the night before the first or second doxorubicin administration, and all treatments were administered within an hour before or after 12 P.M. Dogs were fed normally before the alternate dose. Circulating IGF-1 concentrations were determined from serum samples obtained immediately before each doxorubicin treatment. Data from 35 doses were available from 20 dogs enrolled. Dogs that were fasted exhibited a significantly lower incidence of vomiting, when compared to fed dogs (10% compared to 67%, P = .020). Furthermore, among the 15 dogs that completed crossover dosing, vomiting was abrogated in four of five dogs that experienced doxorubicin-induced vomiting when fed normally (P = .050). No differences in other gastrointestinal, constitutional, or bone marrow toxicities or serum IGF-1 levels were observed.  相似文献

BackgroundBreast cancer is a leading cause of death in women and with an increasing worldwide incidence. Doxorubicin, as a first-line anthracycline-based drug is conventional used on breast cancer clinical chemotherapy. However, the drug resistances limited the curative effect of the doxorubicin therapy in breast cancer patients, but the molecular mechanism determinants of breast cancer resistance to doxorubicin chemotherapy are not fully understood. In order to explore the association between metadherin (MTDH) and doxorubicin sensitivity, the differential expressions of MTDH in breast cancer cell lines and the sensitivity to doxorubicin of breast cancer cell lines were investigated.MethodsThe mRNA and protein expression of MTDH were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot in breast cancer cells such as MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, MDA-MB-435S, MCF-7/ADR cells. Once MTDH gene was knocked down by siRNA in MCF-7/ADR cells and overexpressed by MTDH plasmid transfection in MDA-MB-231 cells, the cell growth and therapeutic sensitivity of doxorubicin were evaluated using MTT and the Cell cycle assay and apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry.ResultsMCF-7/ADR cells revealed highly expressed MTDH and MDA-MB-231 cells had the lowest expression of MTDH. After MTDH gene was knocked down, the cell proliferation was inhibited, and the inhibitory rate of cell growth and apoptosis rate were enhanced, and the cell cycle arrest during the G0/G1 phase in the presence of doxorubicin treatment. On the other hand, the opposite results were observed in MDA-MB-231 cells with overexpressed MTDH gene.ConclusionMTDH gene plays a promoting role in the proliferation of breast cancer cells and its high expression may be associated with doxorubicin sensitivity of breast cancer.  相似文献

There has been tremendous growth in the development of theragnostics for personalized cancer diagnosis and treatment over the past two decades. In prostate cancer, the new generation of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) small molecular inhibitor-based imaging agents achieve extraordinary tumor to background ratios and allow their therapeutic counterparts to deliver effective tumor doses while minimizing normal tissue toxicity. The PSMA targeted small molecule positron emission tomography (PET) agents 18F-DCFPyL (2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-((6-(18)F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino)-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid) and Gallium-68 (68Ga)-PSMA-11 have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for newly diagnosed high risk prostate cancer patients and for patients with biochemical recurrence. More recently, the Phase III VISION trial showed that Lutetium-177 (177Lu)-PSMA-617 treatment increases progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with heavily pre-treated advanced PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Here, we review the PSMA targeted theragnostic pairs under clinical investigation for detection and treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.  相似文献

This work deals with preparation of doxorubicin loaded chitin nanogels and were characterized by SEM, DLS and FTIR for cancer drug delivery. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies of 130-160 nm sized doxorubicin loaded chitin nanogels were studied using MTT assay on L929, PC3, MCF-7, A549 and HEPG2 confirmed that relatively higher toxicity on cancer cells comparing to normal L929 cells. The internalization studies showed a significant uptake of doxorubicin loaded chitin nanogels in all the tested cell lines. All the above results indicated that doxorubicin loaded chitin nanogels can be used for prostate, breast, lung and liver cancer.  相似文献
