Ultrasound-enhanced delivery of pterostilbene-loaded long-circulating solid lipid nanoparticles for the inhibition of IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway in ovarian cancer
The current investigation explores a novel combinational approach for ovarian cancer treatment by formulating Pterostilbene-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (PT-SLNPs) and enhancing their therapeutic efficiency using ultrasound stimulation. The formulated PT-SLNPs displays favorable physicochemical properties, with a mean particle size of 133.46 ± 24.21 nm, a low polydispersity index (0.14 ± 0.02), and high entrapment efficiency (87.76 ± 0.5 %). The uniqueness of this work is attributed to the synergistic application of PT-SLNPs and ultrasound (US), which significantly enhanced the cytotoxic effect against human ovarian cancer cell A2780. Further, flowcytometry method confirmed a considerable increase in apoptosis in cells treated with PT-SLNPs + US combination. Mechanistically, exposure of cancer cells to PT-SLNPs + US downregulated the key tumor associated pro-survival and proliferative pathways by suppressing IL-6 expression and inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation. These findings highlight the innovative potential of US assisted PT-SLNPs as a promising, less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy in ovarian cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
