Microparticles developed by electrohydrodynamic atomization for the local delivery of anticancer drug to treat C6 glioma in vitro

This study aims to fabricate biodegradable polymeric particles by electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) for applications in sustained delivery of anticancer drug-paclitaxel to treat C6 glioma in vitro. Controllable morphologies such as spheres, doughnut shapes and corrugated shapes with sizes from several tens of microns to hundred nanometers of particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission electron microscope (FSEM). The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study indicated that paclitaxel could be either in an amorphous or disordered-crystalline phase of a molecular dispersion or a solid solution state in the polymer matrix after fabrication. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result suggested that some amount of paclitaxel could exist on the surface layer of the microparticles. The encapsulation efficiency was around 80% and more than 30 days in vitro sustained release profile could be achieved. Cell cycling results suggested that paclitaxel after encapsulation by EHDA could keep its biological function and inhibit C6 glioma cells in G2/M phase. The cytotoxicity of paclitaxel-loaded biodegradable microparticles to C6 glioma cells could be higher than Taxol in the long-term in vitro tests evaluated by MTS assay. The drug delivery devices developed by EHDA in this study could be promising for the local drug delivery to treat malignant glioma.     

Multifunctional Pluronic P123/F127 mixed polymeric micelles loaded with paclitaxel for the treatment of multidrug resistant tumors

The aim of this study was to exploit the possibility of combination of active targeting function of folic acid by folate receptor-mediated endocytosis and overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR) by Pluronic block copolymers to promote drug delivery to MDR tumor following intravenous administration with paclitaxel (PTX) as model drug. Folic acid functionalized Pluronic P123/F127 mixed micelles encapsulating PTX (FPF-PTX) was firstly developed and tested in vitro and in vivo, while PTX-loaded Pluronic P123/F127 mixed micelles (PF-PTX) and Taxol were used as control. FPF-PTX was about 20 nm in diameter with spherical shape and high encapsulation efficiency. Cellular uptake of FPF-PTX was found to be higher than that of PF-PTX due to the folate receptor-mediated endocytosis effect. In vitro cytotoxicity, cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest studies also revealed that FPF-PTX was more potent than those of PF-PTX and Taxol. In vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats showed that the polymeric micelles significantly enhanced the bioavailability of PTX (～3 fold) than Taxol. Moreover, in BALB/c mice bearing KBv MDR tumor xenografts, stronger antitumor efficacy was shown in FPF-PTX group, with good correlation between in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, folate-conjugated Pluronic micelles could be a potential vehicle for delivering hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drugs to MDR tumors.     

Poly(caprolactone)-modified Pluronic P105 micelles for reversal of paclitaxcel-resistance in SKOV-3 tumors

Three poly(caprolactone)-modified Pluronic P105 polymers (P105/PCLs) were synthesized using commercially available ε-caprolactone monomers and Pluronic P105 copolymers. The chemical structures, compositions and molecular weights of the P105/PCLs were confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H NMR and GPC measurements. Three paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded P105/PCL polymeric micelles were then prepared, and they showed average diameters in the range of 30-150 nm, drug-loading coefficients of 0.15%-5.43%, and encapsulation ratios of 2.1%-76.53%. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that three PTX-loaded P105/PCL micelles were able to sensitize the resistant SKOV-3/PTX tumor cells. The PTX-loaded P105/PCL(50) micelle was then selected for an in vivo antitumor efficacy study. The tumor volumes in nude mice bearing s.c. resistant SKOV-3/PTX carcinoma treated with this micellar PTX were significantly less than the control group treated with Taxol. It was demonstrated that three PCL-modified P105 monomers and micelles inhibited P-gP efflux activity in the resistant SKOV-3/PTX cells via at least three intracellular events: 1) inhibition of ATPase of P-gP, 2) decrease of membrane microviscosity and 3) a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequent decrease of ATP levels at the concentration of monomers (0.001%) and/or micelles (0.01-1.0%). Considering other favorable characteristics, such as sustained PTX release in vitro, long-circulating time in vivo and increased PTX concentration in the tissues of ovaries and uterus in mice, the PCL-modified Pluronic P105 polymeric micelle system could have important clinical implications for delivery of paclitaxel and treatment of the resistant ovarian tumors.     

Adjustable degradation and drug release of a thermosensitive hydrogel based on a pendant cyclic ether modified poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(ethylene glycol)co-polymer

The convenient and precise fabrication of drug–hydrogel formulations with satisfactory degradability and a well-controlled drug release profile are crucial factors for injectable hydrogel formulations in clinical applications. Here a new injectable thermosensitive hydrogel formed from poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(ε-caprolactone) amphiphilicco-polymers with 1,4,8-trioxa[4.6]spiro-9-undecanone (TOSUO) moieties incorporated in the poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)block (PECT) was constructed to provide a route to tailor the degradation and drug release behavior. The effect of hydrophilic cyclic ether moieties on the degradation of and drug release by PECT hydrogels were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The results indicated that a freeze-dried powder of paclitaxel-loaded PECT nanoparticles rapidly dissolved in water at ambient temperature with slightly shaking and formed a stable injectable in situ drug–hydrogel formulation at body temperature, which is convenient for clinical operations because it avoids the need for pre-quenching or long-term incubation. The paclitaxel distribution was also more quantitative and homogeneous on entrapping paclitaxel in PECT nanoparticles. Further, the small number of pendant cyclic ether groups in PCL could decrease the cystallinity and hydrophobicity and, as a result, the in vitro and in vivo retention time of PECT hydrogels and the release of entrapped paclitaxel could be tuned from a few weeks to months by varying the amount of PTOSUO in the hydrophobic block. Significantly, paclitaxel-loaded PECT nanoparticles and free paclitaxel could be simultaneously released during the in vitro paclitaxel release from PECT hydrogels. A histopathological evaluation indicated that in vivo injected PECT hydrogels produced only a modest inflammatory response. Thus pendant cyclic ether modification of PCL could be an effective way to achieve the desired degradation and drug release profiles of amphiphilicco-polymer thermosensitive hydrogels and PECT hydrogels may be suitable for local drug delivery.     

Triggered disassembly of hierarchically assembled onion-like micelles into the pristine core-shell micelles via a small change in pH

The size and surface property of nanomaterial-based delivery systems administered intravenously play important roles in their cell uptake and in vivo distribution. Both of them should be capable of self-evolution in order to achieve efficient targeting performance. A facile strategy was proposed to manipulate both the size and surface property of polymeric micelles. It was found that the hierarchical assembly between trimethylated chitosan-g-poly(ε-caprolactone) (TMC-PCL) micelles and carboxyethyl chitosan-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (CEC-PEG) could produce onion-like micelles with enlarged size and PEGylated surface. The onion-like micelles could withstand the ionic strength of plasma and competitive exchange with BSA, and abruptly disassemble into the pristine TMC-PCL micelles via a small change in pH. By varying the degree of carboxyethylation, the disassembly pH could be modulated to the range of the tumoral microclimate pH. In contrast with TMC-PCL micelles, which displayed high cytotoxicity and endocytic ability towards C6 glioma cells, the onion-like micelles were cell-friendly and internalized by the cells at a very low level. Doxorubicin was used as a model chemotherapeutic agent and incorporated within TMC-PCL micelles. Dox release from both TMC-PCL micelles and the onion-like micelles was very slow under normal physiological conditions and displayed excellent pH sensitivity. Cell viability of Dox-loaded micelles was also investigated.     

The potential of Pluronic polymeric micelles encapsulated with paclitaxel for the treatment of melanoma using subcutaneous and pulmonary metastatic mice models

The increasing global incidence of malignant melanoma combined with the poor prognosis and low survival rates of patients necessitates the development of new chemotherapeutic strategies. Thus, the objective of this present study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Pluronic polymeric micelles encapsulating paclitaxel (PTX) in both B16F10 melanoma subcutaneous mice model and pulmonary metastatic mice model. Herein, we developed a PTX-loaded polymeric micelles (PF-PTX) consisting of Pluronic P 123 and F127 block copolymers with small particle size (～25 nm), high encapsulation efficiency (>90%), good stability in lyophilized form and pH-dependent in vitro release. Furthermore, influence of PF-PTX on in vitro cytotoxicity was determined by MTT assay using B16F10 melanoma cell line, while cellular distribution of PF-PTX was detected by confocal microscopy. Additionally, C57BL/6 mice bearing subcutaneous or pulmonary B16F10 melanoma tumors were treated with Taxol or PF-PTX, and antitumor effect was compared. It was found that antitumor efficacy of PF-PTX in both tumor models showed significant tumor growth delay and increased survival. In summary, the simple Pluronic-based nanocarrier could be harnessed for the delivery of anticancer drug to melanoma, with increased therapeutic index.
