Novel ph-sensitive CPPs for treatment with melanoma
KR Shi, etc. the researchers from Sichuan University, recently found CPP (from Ontores Biotechnologies) modified liposome for the treatment with melanoma. They designed a pH-responsive CPP (TR) with the ability of active targeting to integrin αvβ3, which was a tandempeptide consisted of active targeting ligand peptide (c(RGDfK)) and pH-responsive CPP (TH). The targeting efficiency of TR with integrin was evaluated by molecular simulation and docking studies. The affinity assays of TR peptide modified liposomes (TR-Lip) at pH 7.4 and pH 6.5 demonstrated adequately the pH-responsive binding efficacy of TR-Lip with integrin αvβ3. The cellular uptake of CFPE-labeled TR-Lip on integrin αvβ3-overexpressing B16F10 cells was 41.67-, 30.67-, and 11.90-fold higher than that of CFPE-labeled PEG-, RGD-, and TH-modified liposomes at pH 6.5, respectively, suggesting that TR-Lip could not only actively target to αvβ3-overexpressing cells compared to TH-Lip, but also significantly increased cellular uptake compared to RGD-Lip. At the concentration of 20 μg/mL paclitaxel (PTX), the killing activity of PTX-loaded TR-Lip (PTX-TR-Lip) against B16F10 cells was 1.80-, 1.45-, 1.30-, 1.15-time higher than that of PTX-loaded PEG-, RGD-, TH-modified liposomes and free PTX at pH 6.5, respectively. In vivo imaging displayed the maximum accumulation of DiD-labeled TR-Lip at tumor sites compared to the other groups. Tumor inhibition rate of B16F10 tumor-bearing mice treated with PTX-TR-Lip was 85.04%, relative to that of PBS. In B16F10 tumor-bearing mice, PTX-TR-Lip showed significantly higher survival rate compared with the other groups. Collectively, all the results in vitro and in vivo suggested that TR-Lip would be a potential delivery system for PTX to treat integrin αvβ3-overexpressing tumor-bearing mice.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168365915301115
