In vivo tumor targeting of ODN-PEG-folic acid/PEI polyelectrolyte complex micelles.

چکیده
A tumor-targeting antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) delivery system based on polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles is demonstrated. ODN-PEG-folic acid (ODN-PEG-FA) was synthesized using a heterofunctional PEG linker. The PEC micelles for the targeted ODN delivery to tumor cells were produced by ionic interactions between the ODN-PEG-FA and polyethylenimine (PEI). The in vivo targeting properties of the PEC micelles were assessed using a mouse tumor model. The size of ODN-PEG-FA/PEI PEC micelles was 92.3 nm with a relatively narrow distribution. Cellular uptake of the ODN-PEG-FA/PEI PEC micelles by folic acid receptor over-expressing cells (KB) was greatly enhanced compared to that of ODN-PEG/PEI PEC micelles. When the ODN-PEG-FA/PEI PEC micelles were systemically administered to the mice bearing KB cell xenograft tumor, ODN was accumulated to the solid tumor in a target specific manner. This study suggests that the PEC micelles with a receptor-recognizable targeting ligand on the surface have potential for passive and active targeted delivery of ODN drugs to cancer cells.

A polyelectrolyte complex micelle (PECM)-based delivery system for targeting folate (FOL) receptor overexpressing tumor cells is demonstrated using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-conjugated oligonucleotide (ODN). The tumor targeting property was conferred to the PECM by tethering a folate moiety to the distal end of the PEG segment in an anti-sense green fluorescent protein (GFP) ODN-PEG conjugate...

The present study aimed to prepare and evaluate polymeric micelles conjugated with folic acid through α- or γ-carboxyl groups for antitumor efficacy. The isomeric block copolymers, α- and γ-folate-polyethyleneglycol- distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (α- and γ-Fol-PEG-DSPE), were produced by solid phase peptide synthesis. Three types of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded polymeric micelles (MPEG-DSPE-D...

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of the brain. But, the treatment of GBM is one of the most problems in cancer therapy because of poor drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Targeting drug delivery system and conjugating targeting moieties was recognized to overcome the poor penetration of chemotherapy drug...
