共载siRNA与多西他赛的透明质酸修饰的还原敏感型纳米粒质量评价

Co-delivery of siRNA and docetaxel by hyaluronic acid modified redox-sensitive disulfide-crosslinked nanoparticles

  • 摘要: 研究和评价共载特异性抑制环氧化酶(COX-2)表达的小干扰RNA(siRNA)和多西他赛(DTX)的透明质酸修饰二硫键交联的聚乙酰亚胺(PEIss)与聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物(PLGA)形成的还原敏感型肿瘤靶向纳米粒(DTX/siCOX-2/HRPSP NPs)的体外质量。首先,通过溶剂挥发法制备DTX/siCOX-2/HRPSP NPs,同时制备不含二硫键交联的透明质酸修饰的PEI-PLGA纳米粒(DTX/siCOX-2/HPP NPs)作为对照。结果显示,两者NPs 呈核壳圆形,粒径处于150~200 nm之间,体外释放实验表明,DTX/siCOX-2/HRPSP NPs中的DTX在24 h内呈现缓释行为,且HRPSP NPs 在pH 5.0中8 h时的累积释药量较pH 7.4中释药量高10%~25%,证明酸性条件更有利于纳米粒中DTX的释放,具有肿瘤微环境敏感性。体外细胞摄取实验表明,当N/P比为40/1,孵育时间在14~16 h时,纳米粒的摄取量最高,受体靶向抑制试验显示,HRPSP NPs能特异性结合CD44受体,具有肿瘤细胞靶向性。最后,通过Western blot方法测定不同纳米粒对细胞内Bcl-2,bax,caspase-3和COX-2蛋白的相对表达效率。结果显示,实验组与对照组相比,促凋亡蛋白bax和caspase-3显著增加,抗凋亡蛋白Bcl-2显著下降,COX-2蛋白的表达也相应降低,尤其以DTX/siCOX-2/HRPSP NPs组最为明显(P<;0.01),实现了小分子药物和siRNA协同特异性治疗的目的。

     

    Abstract: The aims of this research were to constitute and evaluate one targeting anticancer co-delivery system for both micro-molecularchemotherapeutic drugs(docetaxel, DTX)and small interfering RNA(siRNA)expressed by COX-2. The nanoparticles composed of poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA)bearing disulfide-linkaged reducible polyethyleneimine(PEIss)covered by hyaluronic acid(HA). Meanwhile, HA-PEI-PLGA nanoparticles were prepared as control. Firstly, the solvent evaporation was used to the particles which exhibited a core-shell structure with a uniform size of 150-200 nm. The cumulative drug release in two kinds of PBS media(pH 7. 4 and pH 5. 0)during 72 hours indicated that DTX-loaded nanoparticles had sustained-release effect within 24 hours. The cumulative release of DTX of HRPSP NPs in PBS pH 5. 0 was 10%-25% more than that in PBS pH 7. 4, which demonstrated that favored release of DTX from nanoparticles could be achieved in acidic tumor microenvironment. Then, the highest transfection efficiency was observed after 14-16 h incubation at N/P ratio of 40/1. Following the saturation of CD44 receptor, the mean fluorescence intensity of HRPSP NPs from the cells decreased drastically in the case of saturation with free HA before. However, there existed no significance in the fluorescence of RPSP NPs between the cells with and without saturation with free HA, which indicated the nanoparticles′ targeting potential toward tumor cells. In the Western blot, the relative silencing efficiency of Bcl-2, bax, capase-3 and COX-2 mRNAprotein was calculated. In comparison to the control group, the silence efficiencies of bax and capase-3 were both significantly increased while that of Bcl-2 was evidently reduced, particularly in siCOX-2/HRPSP NPs group(P< 0. 01). The similar results were obtained in the silence efficiency of COX-2 protein in which the COX-2 quantity on mRNA and protein decreased. The results suggest that the nanoparticles could achieve the synergistic effect on the combinatorial delivery of siRNA and lipophilic anti-tumor drugs.
