Abstract:
Objective To prepare carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) targeted and paclitaxel loaded phase-shifting PLGA nanoparticles (Ab-PTX-NPs),and investigate the targeting capability and inhibition to the ovarian cancer cell in vitro.Methods Single-emulsion/solvent evaporation (O/W) and carbodiimide method were used to prepare the Ab-PTX-NPs.The size of nanoparticles was determined by Malvern analyzer.The encapsulation and drug loaded efficiency of paclitaxel were detected by high performance liquid chromatography.And the drug release characteristics was measured by dialysis method in constant temperature shaker.The targeting ability of Ab-PTX-NPs to the ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell was evaluated by the laser scanning confocal microscope and flow cytometry.And the inhibition ability of Ab-NPs was investigated by the CCK-8 assays.Results The size of Ab-PTX-NPs was (397.70±99.95)nm.The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity of PTX were (67.26±4.15) % and (6.31±0.39) %,respectively.The conjugating rate of Anti-CEA antibody was (92.74 ± 5.75) %.The targeting study in vitro showed that such a number of contrast agents landed around the SKOV3 cells in targeting group,and the mean fluorescence intensity of ovarian cells in targeting group was significantly higher than other groups (P<0.05).After 24 h,the viability rate of ovarian cells in targeting group was lower than the non-target group (P<0.05),only higher than that of the pure PTX group (P<0.05).But there was no significant difference between the targeting group and the pure PTX group (P>0.05) at 48 h.Conclusion The CEA targeted and paclitaxel loaded phase-shifting PLGA nanoparticles are successfully prepared.It can enhance ultrasound imaging well after activated by LIFU.With high drug-loading efficiency and fast drug release velocity,the Ab-PTX-NPs appeares great targeted ability.
