pH-responsive unimolecular micelle-gold nanoparticles-drug nanohybrid system for cancer theranostics.

Abstract:

:The development of an in situ formed pH-responsive theranostic nanocomposite for anticancer drug delivery and computed tomography (CT) imaging was reported. β-cyclodextrin-{poly(lactide)-poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-poly[oligo(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)methacrylate]}21 [β-CD-(PLA-PDMAEMA-PEtOxMA)21] unimolecular micelles served as a template for the in situ formation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and the subsequent encapsulation of doxorubicin (DOX). The formation of unimolecular micelles, microstructures and the distributions of GNPs and DOX were investigated through the combination of experiments and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. β-CD-(PLA-PDMAEMA-PEtOxMA)21 formed spherical unimolecular micelles in aqueous solution within a certain range of polymer concentrations. GNPs preferentially distributed in the PDMAEMA area. The maximum wavelength (λmax) and the size of GNPs increased with increasing concentration of HAuCl4. DOX preferentially distributed in the PDMAEMA mesosphere, but penetrated the inner PLA core with increasing DOX concentration. DOX-loaded micelles with 41-61% entrapment efficiency showed fast release (88% after 102h) under acidic tumor conditions. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed superior anticancer efficacy and effective CT imaging properties for β-CD-(PLA-PDMAEMA-PEtOxMA)21/Au/DOX. We conclude that the reported unimolecular micelles represent a class of versatile smart nanocarriers for theranostic application. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:Developing polymeric nanoplatforms as integrated theranostic vehicles for improving cancer diagnostics and therapy is an emerging field of much importance. This article aims to develop an in situ formed pH-responsive theranostic nanocomposite for anticancer drug delivery and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Specific emphases is on structure-properties relationship. There is a sea of literature on polymeric drug nanocarriers, and a couple of polymer-stabilized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) systems for cancer diagnosis are also known. However, to our knowledge, there has been no report on polymeric unimolecular micelles capable of dual loading of GNPs without external reducing agents and anticancer drugs for cancer diagnosis and treatment. To this end, the target of the current work was to develop an in situ formed nanocarrier, which actively dual wrapped CT contrast agent GNPs and hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), achieving high CT imaging and antitumor efficacy under in vitro and in vivo acid tumor condition. Meanwhile, by taking advantage of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, we further obtained the formation process and mechanism of unimolecular micelles, and detailed distributions and microstructures of GNPs and DOX on unimolecular micelles. Taken together, our results here provide insight and guidance for the design of more effective nanocarriers for cancer theranostic application.
