Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Treatment of late stage cancers has proven to be a very difficult task. Targeted therapy and combinatory drug administration may be the solution. PURPOSE:The study was performed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of PEG-PE micelles, co-loaded with curcumin (CUR) and doxorubicin (DOX), and targeted with anti-GLUT1 antibody (GLUT1) against HCT-116 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS:HCT-116 cells were treated with non-targeted and GLUT1-targeted CUR and DOX micelles as a single agent or in combination. Cells were inoculated in female nude mice. Established tumors were treated with the micellar formulations at a dose of 4 mg/kg CUR and 0.4 mg/kg DOX every 2 d for a total of 7 injections. RESULTS:CUR + DOX-loaded micelles decorated with GLUT1 had a robust killing effect even at low doses of DOX in vitro. At the doses chosen, non-targeted CUR and CUR + DOX micelles did not exhibit any significant tumor inhibition versus control. However, GLUT1-CUR and GLUT1-CUR + DOX micelles showed a significant tumor inhibition effect with an improvement in survival. CONCLUSION:We showed a dramatic improvement in efficacy between the non-targeted and GLUT1-targeted formulations both in vitro and in vivo. Hence, we confirmed that GLUT1-CUR + DOX micelles are effective and deserve further investigation.
