细胞仿生微球的制备及抗肿瘤转移研究

Preparation of cytomimetic microspheres and their application in cancer metastasis therapy

  • 摘要: 为系统研究细胞仿生微球(cytomimetic microspheres, CMM)对不同药物的负载能力,并评价其体内过程,通过冻融法处理4T1细胞,制备CMM,具体制备工艺为:液氮冷冻12 h,于37 ℃解冻。选择小分子(阿霉素、罗丹明B),生物大分子(牛血清白蛋白、鱼精蛋白)和纳米粒(大豆磷脂-胆固醇脂质体、聚乙烯亚胺、聚乙烯亚胺-肉桂醛、聚乙烯亚胺-苯硼酸)作为模型药物,采用荧光分光光度法测定CMM对不同类型药物的包载及释放能力。结果表明,CMM对聚乙烯亚胺-肉桂醛和鱼精蛋白的载药量分别为(41.09 ± 1.21)和(31.07 ± 0.79)μg/106 cells,显著高于其他药物,表明CMM适用于包载带有正电荷及疏水性的药物。在4T1乳腺癌肺转移小鼠模型中,CMM具有良好的肺部蓄积和抑制肿瘤生长的作用。该载体制备过程简便、结构稳定,对小分子、生物大分子、纳米粒均具有一定的包载能力,有助于深化CMM载药释药性质的研究,为肿瘤肺转移的治疗提供新的解决方案。

     

    Abstract: To systematically investigate the capacity of cytomimetic microspheres (CMM) to load different drugs and to evaluate their in vivo behavior, CMM were prepared from 4T1 cells using a freeze-thaw method. The preparation procedure involved freezing in liquid nitrogen for 12 h followed by thawing at 37 °C. Small molecules (doxorubicin and rhodamine B), biomacromolecules (bovine serum albumin and protamine), and nanoparticles (soybean phospholipid-cholesterol liposomes, polyethyleneimine, polyethyleneimine-cinnamaldehyde, and polyethyleneimine-phenylboronic acid) were selected as model drugs. Fluorescence spectrophotometry was employed to evaluate the encapsulation and release capacities of CMM for different types of drugs. The results showed that the drug loadings of CMM for polyethyleneimine-cinnamaldehyde and protamine were (41.09±1.21) and (31.07±0.79) μg/106 cells, respectively, which were significantly higher than those for the other drugs, indicating that CMM are suitable for encapsulating positively charged and hydrophobic drugs. In a mouse model of 4T1 breast cancer lung metastasis, CMM exhibited favorable lung accumulation and inhibited tumor growth. The carrier has a simple preparation procedure and a stable structure, and possesses a certain degree of loading capacity for small molecules, biomacromolecules, and nanoparticles. These findings help deepen the understanding of the drug-loading and release properties of CMM and provide a new strategy for the treatment of tumor lung metastasis.
