Abstract
Local hypoxia within solid tumors significantly impedes therapeutic efficacy. Hypoxia-targeted therapies have emerged as powerful strategies to overcome treatment resistance. This study exploits the ability of Bifidobacterium infantis (Bif) to actively colonize hypoxic tumor regions, in conjunction with the radiosensitizing properties of the PARP inhibitor olaparib (Ola). This study developed MPEG-PCL-COS (Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Polycaprolactone-Chitosan Oligosaccharide) nanocarriers for the preparation of Ola nanoparticles (Ola-NPs) and Ola-NPs modified with bifidobacterium-specific antibodies (Ab-Ola-NPs). This method facilitates the targeted delivery of nanoparticles to lung cancer cells, resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes when combined with radiotherapy (RT). The experimental results indicate that Ola-NPs exhibit a superior in vivo sensitization enhancement ratio (SER) of 4. The active targeting capability of Ab-Ola-NPs significantly inhibits lung cancer tumor growth and extends the survival time of mice to 42 days. The enhanced therapeutic effect is attributed to the radiosensitizing properties of Ola-NPs in targeting hypoxic tumor regions, with mechanisms involving apoptosis, cell proliferation, and DNA damage.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
