Enhanced cytotoxicity of a redox-sensitive hyaluronic acid-based nanomedicine toward different oncocytes via various internalization mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Receptor-mediated active targeting and tumor microenvironment responsive systems from polymeric micelles have been studied for rapid cellular internalization and triggered drug release. Previously we have constructed redox-responsive polymeric micelles composed of vitamin E succinate conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA-ss-TOS), which are able to actively target CD44 proteins and quickly release loaded drugs upon exposure to high levels of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells. In the present study, we found that despite different cellular internalization mechanisms, micelles showed strong antineoplastic effects on 4T1 and B16F10 cells due to redox responsiveness. HA-ss-TOS-PTX micelles exhibited an excellent tumor targeting ability and prolonged retention time compared to Taxol in vivo. In addition, a superior antitumor effect was achieved compared to PTX-loaded insensitive micelles (HA-TOS-PTX) and Taxol. Our results revealed that PTX-loaded HA-ss-TOS micelles could enhance the antineoplastic efficacy of PTX for breast cancer and melanoma treatment and, thus, deserve further attention.

Project description:Redox-responsive and magnetic nanomaterials are widely used in tumor treatment separately, and while the application of their combined functionalities is perspective, exactly how such synergistic effects can be implemented is still unclear. This report investigates the internalization dynamics of magnetic redox-responsive nanoparticles (MNP-SS) and their cytotoxicity toward PC-3 and 4T1 cell lines. It is shown that MNP-SS synthesized by covalent grafting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) surface via SS-bonds lose their colloidal stability and aggregate fully in a solution containing DTT, and partially in conditioned media, whereas the PEGylated MNP (MNP-PEG) without S-S linker control remains stable under the same conditions. Internalized MNP-SS lose the PEG shell more quickly, causing enhanced magnetic core dissolution and thus increased toxicity. This was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using MNP-SS dual-labeled by Cy3 via labile disulfide, and Cy5 via a rigid linker. The dyes demonstrated a significant difference in fluorescence dynamics and intensity. Additionally, MNP-SS demonstrate quicker cellular uptake compared to MNP-PEG, as confirmed by TEM analysis. The combination of disulfide bonds, leading to faster dissolution of the iron oxide core, and the high-oxidative potential Fe3+ ions can synergically enhance oxidative stress in comparison with more stable coating without SS-bonds in the case of MNP-PEG. It decreases the cancer cell viability, especially for the 4T1, which is known for being sensitive to ferroptosis-triggering factors. In this work, we have shown the effect of redox-responsive grafting of the MNP surface as a key factor affecting MNP-internalization rate and dissolution with the release of iron ions inside cancer cells. This kind of synergistic effect is described for the first time and can be used not only in combination with drug delivery, but also in treatment of tumors responsive to ferroptosis.
