Abstract
Aim: To develop polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PMC) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and modified with the DR5-B protein to overcome drug resistance in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Methods: The capsules were prepared by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly followed by thermal shrinking, DOX encapsulation and DR5-B surface modification. The capsules were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Cellular uptake was assessed by confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and fluorimetry. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT-test in 2D and 3D in vitro models.
Results: Mean capsule size was 320 ± 90 nm (PDI 0.39), mean ζ-potential was +29 ± 5 mV. The encapsulation efficiencies (ЕЕ) of DOX and DR5-B were 85 ± 7% and 80 ± 4%, with loading capacities (LC) of 9 ± 2 w/w% and 145 ± 40 w/w%, respectively. Shrunken capsules exhibited 3.5-fold higher internalisation than non-shrunken ones. DR5-B increased capsule accumulation by 1.8-fold. The capsules showed synergistic cytotoxicity in DR5-B-resistant MCF-7 spheroids (IC50 227 ± 13 ng/mL), being non-toxic to fibroblasts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microencapsulation is a well-established, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of original research findings related to the preparation, properties and uses of individually encapsulated novel small particles, as well as significant improvements to tried-and-tested techniques relevant to micro and nano particles and their use in a wide variety of industrial, engineering, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research applications. Its scope extends beyond conventional microcapsules to all other small particulate systems such as self assembling structures that involve preparative manipulation.
The journal covers:
Chemistry of encapsulation materials
Physics of release through the capsule wall and/or desorption from carrier
Techniques of preparation, content and storage
Many uses to which microcapsules are put.
