Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To prepare anemoside B4 (AB4) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1) siRNA (siP) co- delivered cRGD-modified targeting liposomes (AB4/siP-c-L), and to study the cellular uptake in vitro. METHODS The cRGD- modified AB4-loaded targeted liposomes (AB4-c-L) were prepared by ethanol injection. AB4-c-L was mixed with 20 nmol/L siP in the same volume and AB4/siP-c-L was obtained through electrostatic adsorption. The particle size, Zeta potential, morphology, encapsulation efficiency and drug content, in vitro release behavior and serum stability of AB4/siP-c-L were investigated by laser scattering particle size tester, transmission electron microscopy, ultrafiltration centrifugation, dialysis and agar-gel electrophoresis block test. Cellular uptake of AB4/siP-c-L by Lewis lung cancer cells LLC and its intracellular localization were evaluated by flow cytometry and confocal laser scan technique. RESULTS The average particle size of AB4/siP-c-L was (187.4±3.1) nm, and the Zeta potential was (33.5±1.4) mV. AB4/siP-c-L was spheroidal in shape. The encapsulation efficiency and content of AB4 were (95.2±0.4) % and (1.0±0.2) mg/mL, respectively. AB4/siP-c-L could better package siP, and exhibited good serum stability, obvious pH sensitivity and sustained release property. The uptake rate of AB4/siP-c-L by LLC cells was significantly higher than that of free drug, and was able to accumulate in cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS AB4/siP-c-L can effectively realize the co-loading of AB4 and gene drug siP, which has certain in vitro targeting to LLC cells.
