Tumor microenvironment-responsive docetaxel-loaded micelle combats metastatic breast cancer

         

摘要

Efficient tumor-targeting drug delivery systems are urgently needed for treating metastatic breast cancer.In this work, a docetaxel(DTX)-loaded micelle(pDM) as the tumor-microenvironment-responsive delivery platform is developed. The micelle is composed of a pH-sensitive amphiphilic copolymer,poly((1,4-butanediol)-diacrylate-b-N,N-diisopropylethylenediamine)-polyethyleneimine(BD-PEI), and a matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-responsive polymer, poly((1,4-butanediol)-diacrylate-b-N,N-diisopropy lethylenediamine)-peptide-polyethylene glycol(PEG)(BD-peptide-PEG). The PEG block of BD-peptidePEG will be split by MMPs at the tumor microenvironment, which leads to the change of the surface charge and particle size of the micelle to more positive and smaller one. Owing to this transformation and enhanced permeability and retention(EPR) effect, pDM delivers more DTX into tumor tissues and is internalized more efficiently by tumor cells than the non-MMP-sensitive micelles in the 4 T1 tumorbearing mice model. In addition, DTX is released in acidic endo/lysosomes due to the dissociation of the micelle, triggered by the protonation of the hydrophobic block of BD-PEI. As a result, the DTX-loaded micelle inhibits primary tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis effectively. Thus, this pH/MMP-dual-sensitive drug delivery system, which simultaneously attains three keypoints: prolonged circulation time, directional and efficient uptake into tumor cells, and speedy intracellular drug release, is a promising strategy for metastatic breast cancer therapy.
