研究目的
To improve therapeutic outcomes for glioblastoma multiforme by developing multifunctional nanoparticles that deliver verteporfin as an adjuvant therapy for temozolomide chemotherapy, overcoming the blood-brain barrier and enhancing selectivity and efficacy.
研究成果
The multifunctional pluronic P85/F127 nanoparticles enable targeted delivery of verteporfin and temozolomide, showing selective uptake by cancer cells and synergistic cytotoxicity in combined photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. This approach reduces TMZ doses, minimizes side effects, and overcomes resistance mechanisms, indicating promise for improved glioblastoma treatment.
研究不足
The m-NPs have limited shelf life in liquid phase (about three months) due to instability, requiring lyophilization for long-term storage. Higher TMZ concentrations can destabilize the nanoparticles and reduce synergy. The study is in vitro, and in vivo applications are not explored, potentially limiting clinical translation. The light dose and drug ratios need optimization for maximal efficacy.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Rational design of multifunctional pluronic P85/F127 nanoparticles (m-NPs) incorporating biotin for targeting and rhodamine-B for theranostic purposes. Methods include synthesis of functionalized polymers, nanoparticle preparation via thin-film hydration, characterization of physicochemical properties, stability studies, in vitro cell uptake and cytotoxicity assays, and cell cycle analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human glioblastoma cell lines (T98-G, U87-MG, U343) and normal fibroblast cell line (NIH-3T3) from ATCC. Drugs: verteporfin (VP) and temozolomide (TMZ).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes Zetasizer Nano ZS for size and zeta potential, UV-Vis spectrophotometer (GE Ultrospec 7000), confocal microscope (Leica TCS SP8), flow cytometer (Guava easyCyte 8HT), SEM (Carl Zeiss Evo 50), AFM (Shimadzu SPM-9600), LUMiSizer for stability, and rotary evaporator (Buchi Rotavapor R-215). Materials include pluronic copolymers (F127, P85), biotin, rhodamine B, VP, TMZ, trehalose, and cell culture reagents.
4:5). Materials include pluronic copolymers (F127, P85), biotin, rhodamine B, VP, TMZ, trehalose, and cell culture reagents. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Synthesis of rhodaminated-P85 and biotinylated-F127, preparation of m-NPs by thin-film hydration, encapsulation efficiency measurement, stability tests in BSA and lyophilization, in vitro release studies, cell culture and uptake experiments, cytotoxicity assays with and without light irradiation, combined treatment studies, and cell cycle analysis via flow cytometry.
