Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) are overexpressed on the surface of a variety of tumor cells and on tumor neovasculature in situ, which are potential targets for "double targeting" (tumor- and vascular-targeting) tumor therapy. This study aimed to develop a VEGFR-mediated drug delivery system to target chemotherapeutic agents to VEGFR-overexpressed tumor cells and tumor neovasculature endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo. An antibody modified docetaxel (DTX)-loaded targeted nanostructured lipid carrier (tNLC) was designed and prepared with DSPE-PEG-NH(2) as linker. The cellular cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, in vivo therapeutic effect and biodistribution of tNLC were investigated. The tNLC showed a particle size about 168 nm with encapsulation efficiency >95%, drug loading 5.55 ± 0.06% (w/w) and an average ligand coupling efficiency of 3.34 ± 2.63%. Cytotoxicity of tNLC against three human cell lines and one murine malignant melanoma was superior to that of Duopafei and nontargeted NLC (nNLC). The tNLC also showed better tolerance and antitumor efficacy in a murine model bearing B16 compared with Duopafei or nNLC. The studies on cellular uptake and biodistribution indicated that the better antitumor efficacy of tNLC was attributed to the increased accumulation of drug in both tumor and tumor vasculature. These findings suggested that tNLC designed to bind specifically to VEGFR-2 can be used to deliver DTX to the tumor vasculature and tumor and may inhibit tumor growth.

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.
