Abstract

Polypeptide micelles, though having been proved to be an appealing nanoplatform for cancer chemotherapy, are met with issues like inefficient drug encapsulation, gradual drug release, and low tumor cell selectivity and uptake. Here, we report on cRGD-decorated, small-sized, robust, and reduction-responsive polytyrosine micelles (cRGD-rPTM) based on poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(l-tyrosine)-lipoic acid (PEG- b-PTyr-LA) conjugate for high loading and targeted delivery of doxorubicin (Dox). Notably, cRGD-rPTM exhibited efficient loading of Dox, giving cRGD-rPTM-Dox with a drug loading content (DLC) of 18.5 wt % and a small size of 45 nm at a theoretical DLC of 20 wt %. cRGD-rPTM-Dox displayed reduction-triggered drug release, high selectivity and superior antiproliferative activity toward αvβ3 integrin positive MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (IC50 = 1.5 μg/mL) to both nontargeted rPTM-Dox and clinical liposomal formulation (LP-Dox). cRGD-rPTM-Dox demonstrated a prolonged circulation time compared with the noncrosslinked cRGD-PTM-Dox control and significantly better accumulation in MDA-MB-231 breast tumor xenografts than nontargeted rPTM-Dox. Moreover, cRGD-rPTM-Dox at 6 mg Dox equiv/kg could remarkably suppress growth of MDA-MB-23...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
