Homing in on an intracellular target for delivery of loaded nanoparticles functionalized with a histone deacetylase inhibitor

چکیده
Functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) are usually used to enhance cellular penetration for targeted drug delivery that can improve efficacy and reduce side effects. However, it is difficult to exploit intracellular targets for similar delivery applications. Herein we describe the targeted delivery of functionalized NPs by homing in on an intracellular target, histone deacetylases (HDACs). Specifically, a modified poly-lactide-co-glycolideacid (FPLGA) was yielded by conjugation with an HDAC inhibitor. Subsequently, FPLGA was used to prepare functionalized FPLGA NPs. Compared to unmodified NPs, FPLGA NPs were more efficiently uptaken or retained by MCF-7 cells and showed longer retention time intracellular. In vivo fluorescence imaging also revealed that they had a higher accumulation and a slower elimination than unmodified NPs. FPLGA NPs loaded with paclitaxel exhibited superior anticancer efficacy compared with unmodified NPs. These results offer a promising approach for intracellular drug delivery through elevating the concentration of NPs.

UNLABELLED Nearly 40% of patients with non-invasive bladder cancer will progress to invasive disease despite locally-directed therapy. Overcoming the bladder permeability barrier (BPB) is a challenge for intravesical drug delivery. Using the fluorophore coumarin (C6), we synthesized C6-loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), which were surface modified with a novel cell pe...

Background: The primary phase of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) starts by a complex local inflammatory reaction such as secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia and injured cells that substantially contribute to exacerbating pathogenic events in secondary phase. Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Acetylation of histones is critical to cellular inflammatory...
