Quercetin⁃loaded biomimetic nanoparticles induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells
Objective: One kind of biomimetic nanoparticles was constructed to deliver quercetin (QT) in an attempt to improve the targeting efficiency, so as to improve the inhibitory and apoptosis effect of QT for colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.,Methods,2,PLGA.QT was prepared by emulsification-solvent evaporation method, the surface of which was coated with red blood cell membrane (RBC), aminoethyl anisamide (AEAA) was then modified on PLGA.QT using “post-insertion” method, and biomimetic targeting nanoparticles (PLGA.QT.RBC-AEAA) were finally obtained. Then, the particle size, zeta,potential, encapsulation rate, loading capacity and drug release of PLGA.QT.RBC-AEAA nanoparticles were characterized. The cellular uptake of the nanoparticles was observed by confocal laser microscopy, and their inhibition effect of proliferation and apoptosis on mouse CRC CT26 cells were evaluated by MTT assay and flow cytometry respectively.,Results,2,The size, zeta,potential, encapsulation rate, and loading capacity of PLGA.QT.RBC-AEAA nanoparticles were (107.3±7.7) nm, (-17.5±0.6) mV, (65.7±5.2)% and (4.8±0.2)%, respectively. The nanoparticles exhibited small, spherical and uniform particle size, which could effectively encapsulate QT. ,In vitro, release experiments showed that PLGA.QT.RBC-AEAA nanoparticles had faster drug release rate in acidic environment than in neutral environment (,P,<,0.01). In addition, the biomimetic targeting nanoparticles could promote more QT to enter into cells (,P,<,0.05), and effectively enhance its toxicity on CT26 cells (,P,<,0.01). Compared with the free drug, the inhibition rate of CT26 cell proliferation by biomimetic targeting nanoparticles was increased nearly 3 times. Meanwhile, compared with the non-targeting group, the targeting nanoparticles had a stronger pro-apoptotic effect (,P,<,0.01).,Conclusion,2,The PLGA.QT.RBC-AEAA nanoparticles which modified with AEAA targeting ligand can effectively improve the targeted delivery efficiency of QT, enhance its inhibitory and apoptosis effect on CRC cells, which can provide an experimental basis for the evaluation of QT ,in vivo, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the future.
