pH-sensitive poly (histidine)-PEG/DSPE-PEG co-polymer micelles for cytosolic drug delivery
Open accessAbstract
To introduce pH sensitivity into the DSPE-PEG-based micellar system and achieve the quick intracellular drug release in response to the acidity in endosomes, a mixed polymeric micelle was developed based on three grafted copolymers, including 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol-2000(DSPE-PEG(2000)), antinucleosome antibody (mAb 2C5)-modified DSPE-PEG(3400) (DSPE-PEG(3400)-2C5), and poly(ethylene glycol)-coupled poly(L-histidine) (PHIS-PEG(2000)). The structure of PHIS-PEG(2000) was confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The mixed micelles with the diameter ranging from 110 to 135 nm were prepared using a dialysis method against pH 7.6 PBS. Paclitaxel (PCT) was used as a model drug, the encapsulation efficiency and loading content of PCT were 88% and 5%, respectively. The mixed micelles composed with 50 wt% of PHIS-PEG(2000) showed the desired pH-dependent drug release property with much faster drug release than micelles without PHIS-PEG(2000). At pH around 5.5, about 75-95% of the loaded drug was released within 2 h. The MTT assay showed PCT-loaded mixed micelles had higher cytotoxicity at pH 5.8 than that at pH 7.4. Further modification of the mixed micelles with anti-cancer nucleosome-specific monoclonal antibody 2C5 significantly increased their cellular uptake efficiency and cytotoxicity. Thus, the low pH in endosomes could trigger the PCT release from the pH-sensitive mixed micelles after 2C5-mediated endocytosis. The results of this study suggest that the mixed micelles (DSPE-PEG(2000)/DSPE-PEG(3400)-2C5/PHIS-PEG(2000)) could enhance the tumor cell-specific internalization and trigger the quick drug release, resulting in the improved anti-cancer efficacy.

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Therefore, poly(histidine) can be used as a core-forming block in the polymeric micelles that is hydrophobic at the extracellular pH but becomes positively charged and soluble upon acidification, which can result in the local release of an incorporated drug [131].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
