Abstract:
:The efficiency of drug depends not only on its potency but also on its ability to reach the target sites in preference to non-target sites. In this regard, protein assembled nanocarrier is the most promising strategy for intracellular anti-cancer drug delivery. The key motive of this study is to fabricate biocompatible protein assembled nanocarrier conjugated photosensitizer system for stimuli-responsive treatment of lung carcinoma. Here, we have synthesized a unique nanohybrid of protein assembled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), attaching a model photosensitizer, Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) to the protein shell of the nanoparticles (NPs) imparting an ideal drug-carrier nature. Photo-induced alteration in hydrodynamic diameter suggests structural perturbation of the nanohybrid which in terms signifies on-demand drug delivery. The drug release profile has been further confirmed by using steady-state fluorescence experiments. AuNP-PpIX showed excellent anti-cancer efficiency upon green light irradiation on lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) through intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The cellular morphological changes upon PDT and internalization of nanohybrid were monitored using confocal laser scanning microscope. This anti-cancer effect of nanohybrid was associated with apoptotic pathway which was confirmed in the flow cytometric platform. The developed nanomedicine is expected to find relevance in clinical anti-cancer PDT models in the near future.
