Technical Field

Background
Metastasis and invasion are the leading causes of death in cancer patients. More than 90% of patients are diagnosed, the metastatic invasive in-situ tumor cells are already shed and enter a blood circulation system to form circulating tumor cells, and the circulating tumor cells are planted to distant organs of a body along with blood circulation to establish metastatic lesions, so that the primary tumor is metastatic and spread in the human body. Therefore, developing a platform that can both treat tumors and fundamentally inhibit the occurrence of in situ tumor metastasis and invasion is a promising strategy for improving survival rates of patients diagnosed.
The electrostatic spinning short fiber is processed by the electrostatic spinning nanofiber membrane through a homogenization technology. Compared with the nanofiber membrane, the short fiber has received more attention due to small size and good dispersibility, and becomes a transition platform for converting a two-dimensional structure fiber membrane into a three-dimensional structure, which is a great progress in the field of tissue engineering and also provides more possibility for the electrostatic spinning technology in the aspect of tumor treatment.

The invention provides application of the drug-loaded fiber microspheres in preparation of antitumor drugs.
Further, the anti-tumor means includes in situ treatment of tumors and inhibition of tumor metastasis.
The invention combines electrostatic spinning, homogenization treatment and electrospray technology to obtain drug-loaded fiber microspheres which can firmly anchor tumor cells under the guidance of a targeting mechanism and inhibit the metastasis of the tumor cells; the microsphere porous structure can efficiently load anticancer drugs, increase the accumulation of the drugs on tumor parts, achieve long-term stable slow release, and effectively inhibit the metastasis and invasion of tumors while efficiently treating in-situ tumors.
The invention uses Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 The prepared drug-loaded fiber microspheres are characterized by methods such as H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP-OES), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the like, and then various performances and application potentials of the multifunctional drug-loaded fiber microspheres prepared in the invention in cancer treatment are evaluated by tests such as drug slow release experiments, magnetic resonance imaging performances, CCK-8 cell viability and the like and in-vivo tumor treatment, and the specific test results are as follows:
(1) And (4) SEM test:
the SEM photograph is shown in FIG. 2, which shows that the PLGA nano-fiber has smooth surface and uniform appearance, and the average diameter of the fiber is 563.8nm; the average diameter of the PLGA short fiber obtained after the homogenization treatment is 1.7 μm, and the increase of the diameter of the short fiber is probably caused by the phenomenon that the fiber absorbs water and swells in the homogenization treatment process; as shown in FIG. 3, the obtained DOX @ PGH had a porous structure, and the short fibers were connected to each other by crosslinking, thereby ensuring the stability of the microsphere structure.
(2) 1 H NMR characterization:
1 the results of H NMR analysis are shown in FIG. 4, in which 2.1ppm to 3.0ppm are characteristic peaks of hyperbranched PEI, and 3.3ppm and 3.2ppm are CH in DTPA 2 And it was found by calculation that 27 DTPAs were modified per PEI.
(4) TGA test and ICP-OES test:
TGA results are shown in FIG. 5, where the weight loss of PLGA, PG, PGH SFs was 99.4%, 90.1% and 82.8% at 600 ℃, respectively, and thus the modified PEI-DTPA-Gd and HA content in PGH SFs was 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively. Wherein, the content of Gd in PGH SFs is 3.6 percent through ICP-OES determination.
(5) Testing the slow release performance of the medicine:
the test result of the drug sustained release experiment is shown in fig. 6, and the fiber microspheres with different crosslinking time have different release behaviors for DOX. The cumulative release of DOX at 120h for crosslinked microspheres of 0h, 1h, 3h and 6h was 98.7%, 91.0%, 52.2% and 15.2%. It is clear that the DOX @ PGH which is not crosslinked releases almost all the DOX in a short time, the DOX accumulated release amount of the DOX @ PGH which is crosslinked for 1h at 24h is 76%, the long-term slow release of the DOX is not achieved, and the microspheres which are crosslinked for 6h may cause the DOX release amount to be very small due to excessive crosslinking. The accumulative release amount of the drug crosslinked for 3h, namely DOX @ PGH, in 120h is 52.2%, so that the long-term stable sustained release of the anticancer drug DOX is achieved, and therefore, the crosslinking for 3h is selected for the experiments and the characterization of the microspheres involved in the experiment.
(6) Fluorescence microscopy test:
a fluorogram is shown in FIG. 7a, DOX @ PGH has stable red fluorescence, indicating successful loading of DOX; the diameter of the fiber microspheres in the fluorescent photograph was counted using ImageJ software, and the average diameter of the fiber microspheres was 118.8 μm, as shown in fig. 7 b.
(7) Magnetic resonance imaging performance testing:
as shown in FIG. 8a, T increases with the concentration of the material 1 The MR imaging effect is gradually enhanced; as shown in FIG. 8b, the relaxation rate r of DOX @ PGH was found by linear fitting of the Gd concentration of the material to the reciprocal of the relaxation time 1 =17.7mM -1 s -1 。
(9) In vitro cytotoxicity and anticancer activity assay:
the cytotoxicity determination result is shown in fig. 9a, the cell viability of the PGH with different concentrations after being co-cultured with 4T1 cells for 24h exceeds 90%, which indicates that the fibrous material has good cell compatibility. The results of the anticancer activity assay are shown in fig. 9b, and it can be seen that 4T1 cell viability was decreased in each group with the increase of DOX concentration. Among them, free DOX had the strongest killing power on 4T1 cells, and DOX @ PGH + HA group was the weakest. When the concentration of DOX exceeds 20 mug/mL, the cell activity after the DOX @ PGH treatment is lower than 50%, which indicates that the prepared drug-loaded fiber microsphere DOX @ PGH has a good killing effect on cancer cells.
(10) Evaluation of target specificity:
the Gd content of the 4T1 cells was quantitatively analyzed by ICP-OES, as shown in fig. 10, at the same Gd concentration, the Gd content of the 4T1 cells in the PGH group was significantly increased compared to the PGH + HA group, and with the increase of the Gd concentration, the Gd content of the 4T1 cells in the PGH group was gradually increased, and the trend was greater than that of the PGH + HA group, which indicates that CD44 receptors on the surface of the HA-pretreated 4T1 cells were occupied by too much HA, and the microspheres could not accurately identify the cells, resulting in a decrease in the binding efficiency of the 4T1 cells. This result indicates that HA modification confers significant targeting specificity to the fibrous microspheres.
(10) Scratch test results:
the image of the scratch experiment and the cell quantitative migration area result are shown in FIGS. 11a-b, the migration rate of the control group after 24h culture reaches 57.4%, which indicates that the 4T1 cell HAs higher transfer capacity, which is obviously higher than PGH, DOX @ PGH + HA groups, and indicates that the prepared multifunctional microspheres have a certain inhibition effect on the transfer of the 4T1 cell. In particular, DOX @ PGH HAs the strongest metastasis inhibition effect on 4T1 cells under the conditions of killing DOX load and targeted specific HA modification.
(11) Results of 3D cell pellet experiments:
the anti-tumor metastasis function and the anti-cancer effect of the fiber microsphere are further proved by a plate culture experiment of an in vitro three-dimensional multicellular tumor sphere. As shown in FIGS. 11c-d, at 120h, the control tumor spheroids proliferated rapidly during plating and grew to 2 times the original diameter. Tumor spheroids co-cultured with PGH had a slightly reduced diameter growth to 1.7 times the original diameter. The growth of tumor spheroids treated with DOX @ PGH + HA and DOX @ PGH was significantly inhibited and the diameters increased to 1.5 and 0.5 times, respectively, of the original. In particular DOX @ PGH showed the strongest ability to inhibit tumor spheroid growth, significantly lower than the relative diameter of the control group.
(12) In vivo MR imaging test:
as shown in FIG. 12, it is evident that the MR signal intensity at the tumor site of the mice is significantly increased and tends to be weakened with the lapse of time after the injection of DOX @ PGH and DOX @ PGH + HA. For DOX @ PGH and DOX @ PGH + HA, the MR signal intensity was still much stronger on day 5 than initially. By quantifying the signal-to-noise ratio at the tumor site, DOX @ PGH was found to consistently exhibit a stronger MR signal intensity than DOX @ PGH + HA, suggesting that DOX @ PGH HAs a longer residence time at the tumor site due to mediation by HA.
(13) Evaluation of tumor treatment effect:
statistics of relative tumor volume and body weight for five groups of nude mice are shown in figure 13, mice in the DOX group drop their body weight dramatically at the beginning of treatment, causing strong side effects. Furthermore, tumor volume in all cases showed an upward trend, especially in the control group, which was 12.2-fold the initial tumor volume, but only increased 1.9-fold after treatment with dox @ pgh. It is also clear that the tumor growth rate of the drug-loaded fiber microsphere group is lower than that of the drug-free fiber microsphere group. The PGH group showed a slightly lower tumor volume increase than the PBS group, probably due to the modification of HA, which allowed the microspheres to anchor directionally to the tumor site, preventing the random growth of tumor cells. DOX @ PGH obtains the best antitumor effect, and the relative tumor volume is lower than that of the DOX @ PGH + HA group, because DOX @ PGH is firmly anchored on tumor cells through the combination of HA and CD44 receptors, thereby ensuring that DOX directly acts on the tumor cells once released, enhancing the accumulation and bioavailability of DOX at tumor sites, and further greatly reducing the toxic and side effects of DOX on normal tissues.
(14) Evaluation of inhibition of metastasis:
after 14 days of various treatments, lung tissue was removed from each group of 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mice and photographed. As shown in fig. 14, the highest number of tumor nodules were present in the lungs of the control group, indicating that the 4TI tumor is a malignancy with a high degree of metastatic character. In contrast, the number of tumor nodules in the lung was reduced in other experimental groups, and in particular, DOX @ PGH group showed the strongest inhibition of tumor metastasis, with the least number of tumor nodules. It is noted that PGH, although less effective in inhibiting tumor growth, was successful in immobilizing tumor cells in situ to inhibit tumor distant metastasis, probably due to the inherent porous structure of the fibrous microspheres themselves and the CD 44-mediated targeting effect.
Advantageous effects
(1) The invention has simple preparation process, controllable size, low cost, degradability in vivo and good biological safety because the main material is PLGA fiber microspheres, and has industrial prospect.
(2) According to the invention, the nanofiber membrane is processed into the porous fiber microsphere material through the homogenization treatment and the electrospray technology, so that the conversion from a two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional structure of the electrostatic spinning nanofiber membrane is successfully realized, and the injectability of the fiber material is realized.
(3) The fiber microsphere material is characterized in that the fiber microsphere surface is modified with HA, so that the fiber microsphere surface is endowed with targeting capability, cancer cells can be firmly anchored by combining the advantages of the size and the structure of the fiber microsphere surface, and the metastasis of the tumor cells is inhibited (firstly, in an in vitro cell experiment, a microscopic picture of a cell scratch experiment and a 3D cell sphere culture experiment and a corresponding quantitative statistical result prove that the fiber microsphere modified by HA can inhibit the migration of the cells, then, on an in vivo animal experiment level, the comparison of two groups of experiments shows that the MR signal intensity of a tumor part is longer to be monitored under the condition that the HA blocking is not carried out on the tumor cells, namely, the stagnation time of the fiber microsphere at the tumor part is longer, so that the fiber microsphere material can be judged to be firmly anchored at the tumor part, in addition, the lung metastasis condition of a mouse is evaluated, and the comparison of the quantitative statistical result of the number of the lung tissue tumor knots is combined to show that the fiber microsphere material can effectively inhibit the metastasis of the tumor cells).
(4) The drug-loaded fiber microsphere prepared by the invention not only can effectively inhibit the growth of in-situ tumor, but also can effectively inhibit the metastasis of tumor (the conclusion that the fiber microsphere material can effectively inhibit the lung metastasis can be obtained through in vitro cell experiments and in vivo lung metastasis conditions, and in addition, the result of cell experiment cytotoxicity experiments and the comparison of a tumor volume statistical graph of a treated mouse show that the fiber microsphere loaded with the anti-cancer drug DOX has the smallest tumor volume which is obviously smaller than that of a control group, so the growth of in-situ tumor is effectively inhibited), and the drug-loaded fiber microsphere has wide application prospect in the field of cancer treatment.

As shown in FIG. 3, the obtained DOX @ PGH had a porous structure, and the short fibers were connected to each other by crosslinking, thereby ensuring the stability of the microsphere structure.
Example 3
To determine the successful preparation of PEI-DTPA and the amount of DTPA attached to PEI, example 1, step (C:)2) The PEI-DTPA solution obtained in (1) was lyophilized by dialysis, and 5mg of the solution was weighed out and dissolved in 600. Mu. L D 2 In O, carrying out 1 And H NMR characterization. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, 2.1ppm to 3.0ppm are characteristic peaks of hyperbranched PEI, and 3.3ppm and 3.2ppm are CH in DTPA 2 And it was found by calculation that 27 DTPAs were modified per PEI.

Example 5
To investigate the effect of cross-linking time on drug release performance, dox @ pgh lyophilized in step (5) of example 1 was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde for 0h, 1h, 3h and 6h, respectively, 2mg of each drug-loaded fibrous microsphere cross-linked for different times was added to a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 3000, and then the dialysis bag was tightly sealed and immersed in 9mL PBS (pH = 7.4), followed by being placed in a constant temperature shaker at 37 ℃ and 160 rpm. At the set time point, 1mL of external buffer was removed and 1mL of PBS was added. And testing the light absorption value of the extracted solution at 480nm by using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis), and calculating the concentration and the accumulated release amount of the DOX according to a DOX concentration-light absorption value standard curve.

Therefore, too long or too short a crosslinking time is not favorable for long-term stable release of DOX, and 3h is a relatively moderate crosslinking time. The characterization of the microspheres in this experiment was that the microspheres were selected to be crosslinked for 3 hours.
Example 6
The loading condition of DOX in example 1 is observed under a fluorescent microscope, and the size of the drug-loaded fiber microspheres is counted by using ImageJ software.

Example 8
The viability of 4T1 cells after incubation with various concentrations of PGH was determined using CCK-8 to characterize the cellular compatibility of PGH. First, 100. Mu.L of a 10-density suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate 4 Cell/well 4T1 cell suspension, incubated at 37 ℃ and 5% CO 2 Overnight in the incubator, after the cells were fully adherent, the original medium was aspirated away, 100. Mu.L of medium containing PGH (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/mL) at various concentrations was added, the medium was returned to the incubator and incubated for 24h, then the medium was aspirated away, washed with PBS 3 times, 100. Mu.L of serum-free medium containing 10% of CCK-8 was added to each well, and after incubation for 3h, the absorbance of the well plate at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader. For each fiber material concentration, 5 parallel holes were tested. As shown in FIG. 9a, the cell viability of the PGH with different concentrations after 24h of coculture with 4T1 cells was over 90%, indicating that the material has good cell compatibility.
Furthermore, to analyze the in vitro anti-cancer activity of DOX @ PGH, a similar protocol was used to determine the viability of 4T1 cells. Cell viability after co-incubation of free DOX, DOX @ PGH + HA and DOX @ PGH with 4T1 cells was compared at the same DOX concentration. First, 4T1 cells were treated with 10 4 The density of each well is planted in a 96-well culture plate, the culture is adhered to the wall overnight, the original culture medium is discarded, and 100 mu L of the culture medium containing the same DOX concentration is added into each wellMedium of pure DOX or DOX @ PGH (DOX concentration gradient 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80. Mu.g/mL). For the DOX @ PGH + HA group, HA (2 mM) was incubated with the cells for 2h before replacing the medium with the medium containing DOX @ PGH. Culturing the cells and the material in the incubator for 24 hours, removing the medium by aspiration, washing with PBS 3 times, adding 100. Mu.L of a serum-free medium containing 10% of CCK-8 per well, incubating for 3 hours, and measuring the absorbance of the well plate at 450nm using an microplate reader to calculate the cell viability. For each fiber material concentration, 5 parallel holes were tested. The results of the anticancer activity assay are shown in fig. 9b, and 4T1 cell viability was decreased in each group with increasing DOX concentration. Among them, free DOX had the strongest killing power on 4T1 cells, and DOX @ PGH + HA group was the weakest. When the concentration of DOX exceeds 20 mug/mL, the cell activity after the DOX @ PGH treatment is lower than 50%, which indicates that the prepared drug-loaded fiber microsphere DOX @ PGH has a good killing effect on cancer cells.
Example 9
4T1 cells were plated at a density of 2X 10 5 One/well was seeded in 12-well plates and cultured overnight to allow cells to adhere. Then, the medium of each well was replaced with fresh medium containing PGH at different Gd concentrations (3, 6, 12. Mu.g/mL) and cultured with the cells for a further 4h. For the PGH + HA group, HA (2 mM) was incubated with the cells for 2h to ensure that the CD44 receptor on the 4T1 cell surface was blocked, and then the medium was replaced with PGH-containing medium. After that, the medium was carefully removed, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS, treated with trypsin, suspended and counted. The remaining cells were collected by centrifugation and treated with 1mL of aqua regia solution for 24h. Finally, the sample was diluted with PBS and Gd concentration was measured with ICP-OES. As shown in fig. 10, under the material treatment with the same Gd concentration, the Gd content of the 4T1 cells of the PGH group was significantly increased compared to the PGH + HA group, and with the increase of the Gd concentration, the Gd content of the 4T1 cells of the PGH group was gradually increased, and the trend was greater than that of the PGH + HA group, which indicates that CD44 receptors on the surface of HA-pretreated 4T1 cells were already occupied by too much HA, and the fiber microspheres could not accurately recognize the cells, resulting in a decrease in the binding efficiency to the 4T1 cells. This result indicates that HA modification confers significant targeting specificity to the fibrous microspheres.
Example 10
The cell scratch test is to verify the inhibition effect of the multifunctional fiber microspheres and the cell metastasis under the chemotherapy effect of the further combination of the anticancer drugs. Here, 3 sets of experiments were established, namely PGH, DOX @ PGH + HA and DOX @ PGH sets. The same strategy, for the DOX @ PGH + HA group, requires that cells be previously co-conferred with HA (2 mM) for 2h, ensuring that the cell surface CD44 receptor HAs been occupied by excess HA, and then allowing the cells to incubate with DOX @ PGH. First, 4T1 cells in good state were cultured at 2X 10 5 Density of individual/well in 12-well plate, put at 5% CO 2 After incubation for 24h at 37 ℃, the plates were scored with a 100 μ L pipette tip for one cell scratch on each plate, then washed with PBS to remove floating cells, and finally 1mL PBS was added to each plate and the scratched wounds were observed under a microscope and photographed (noted as 0 h). After the observation was completed, the cells were cultured with complete medium containing PGH, DOX @ PGH + HA and DOX @ PGH, respectively, and the cells were observed for scratching and photographed at 12h and 24h thereafter. The scratch area of the cells in each photograph was calculated by ImageJ software. As shown in FIGS. 11a-b, the control group had a migration rate of 57.4% after 24h of culture, indicating that the 4T1 cells had a higher metastatic potential, which was significantly higher than the PGH, DOX @ PGH + HA groups, indicating that the prepared multifunctional microspheres had a certain inhibitory effect on the metastasis of 4T1 cells. In particular, DOX @ PGH HAs the strongest metastasis inhibition effect on 4T1 cells under the conditions of killing DOX load and targeted specific HA modification.
Example 11
The in vitro culture of the 3D cell spheres by the template method is to further study the anti-metastasis and killing degree of the prepared multifunctional fiber microspheres on tumor cells. First, 0.25g of agarose was weighed into a glass vial and sterilized. Meanwhile, tools such as templates, tweezers and the like used in the experiment are soaked in alcohol and subjected to ultraviolet sterilization. After completion of sterilization, 12.5mL of physiological saline was added to the agarose, and the mixture was dissolved by heating. When the solution is clear and transparent, 500. Mu.L of agarose solution is slowly dropped into the mold, and then naturally cooled until the solution is completely solidified. Then the cooled and solidified agar block is gently peeled off from the mold, transferred to a 12-well plate, added with DMEM medium and letThe agar blocks were soaked in the medium for 30min. After soaking, the medium was aspirated, and 190. Mu.L of the medium containing 8X 10 was added to each well on the agar block 5 Complete medium of 4T1 cells. After 15min, 2.5mL of complete medium was added to each well and placed at 5% CO 2 And incubating in an incubator at 37 ℃.
After 3 days of culture, 3D multicellular spheroids were formed, pipetted gently, and suspended single scattered cells were filtered off. The formed multicellular spheroids were photographed using an inverted phase contrast microscope (as 0 h). Thereafter, 1mL of complete medium containing PGH and DOX @ PGH (2 mg/mL) was added as an experimental group. Similarly, cells of the DOX @ PGH + HA group were previously co-administered with HA (2 mM) for 2h, followed by co-incubation with DOX @ PGH. At different time points (24 h, 72h and 120 h), the 12-well plate was removed, washed with PBS, replaced with fresh medium (1 mL per well), and photographed under a light microscope. The deployed diameter of the three-dimensional multicellular spheroids was measured using Image J software. As shown in FIGS. 11c-d, at 120h, the control tumor spheroids proliferated rapidly during plating and grew to 2 times the original diameter. Tumor spheroids co-cultured with PGH had a slightly reduced diameter growth to 1.7 times the original diameter. The growth of tumor spheroids treated with DOX @ PGH + HA and DOX @ PGH was significantly inhibited and the diameters increased to 1.5 and 0.5 times, respectively, of the original. In particular DOX @ PGH showed the strongest ability to inhibit tumor spheroid growth, significantly lower than the relative diameter of the control group.
Example 12
Injecting 100 μ L physiological saline (Gd concentration is 5 mM) containing DOX @ PGH or DOX @ PGH + HA into the tumor of the 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mouse, and carrying out MR imaging (30 min, 1h, 1 day, 3 days, 5 days) on the 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mouse before and after DOX @ PGH or DOX @ PGH + HA injection at different time points by scanning with a nuclear magnetic resonance imager. For the DOX @ PGH + HA group, HA (24mg, 100. Mu.L physiological saline) was injected intratumorally 2h before the injection of DOX @ PGH. As shown in FIG. 12, it was revealed that the mouse injected with DOX @ PGH and DOX @ PGH + HA showed a significant increase in the MR signal intensity at the tumor site and tended to decrease with the passage of time. For DOX @ PGH and DOX @ PGH + HA, the MR signal intensity was still much stronger at day 5 than initially. By quantifying the signal-to-noise ratio at the tumor site, DOX @ PGH was found to consistently exhibit a stronger MR signal intensity than DOX @ PGH + HA. This demonstrates the specificity of targeting by HA, which results in a longer residence time of the material at the tumor site, facilitating anchoring and enhanced treatment of the primary tumor.
Example 13
And (3) preparing the prepared DOX @ PGH into a solution with the DOX concentration of 1mg/mL by using a sterile PBS buffer solution, wherein the weight of the microspheres without drug loading is equal to that of the microspheres with drug loading. The 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mice were divided into 5 groups, and 100. Mu.L of the solution was injected into each tumor-bearing nude mouse by intratumoral injection: (1) PBS, (2) PGH, (3) free DOX, (4) DOX @ PGH + HA and (5) DOX @ PGH. For the DOX @ PGH + HA group, HA (24mg, 100. Mu.L PBS) was injected intratumorally 2h before DOX @ PGH injection. Changes in body weight and tumor volume of the mice were recorded over 14 days of treatment. As a result, as shown in fig. 13, the body weight of mice in the DOX group decreased sharply at the start of the treatment, causing strong side effects. Furthermore, tumor volume in all cases showed an upward trend, especially in the control group, which was 12.2-fold the initial tumor volume, but only increased 1.9-fold after treatment with dox @ pgh. It is also clear that the tumor growth rate of the drug-loaded fiber microsphere group is lower than that of the drug-free fiber microsphere group. The tumor volume growth was slightly lower in the PGH group than in the PBS group, probably due to the modification of HA, allowing directional anchoring of the microspheres at the tumor site, preventing tumor cell growth. DOX @ PGH achieves the best antitumor effect, relative to tumor volume is lower than the DOX @ PGH + HA group, because DOX @ PGH is firmly anchored on tumor cells through the binding of HA and CD44 receptor, ensures that DOX acts directly on tumor cells once released, and enhances the accumulation and bioavailability of DOX at tumor sites.
Example 14
After 14 days of treatment, the mice were dissected, the lungs were photographed, and tumor metastasis in the lungs was observed and tumor nodule counts were counted. As shown in fig. 14, the highest number of tumor nodules were present in the lungs of the control group, indicating that the 4TI tumor is a malignancy with a high degree of metastatic character. In contrast, the number of tumor nodules in the lung was reduced in other experimental groups, especially in the DOX @ PGH group, which showed the strongest inhibition of tumor metastasis, and the least number of tumor nodules in the lung tissue. It is noted that PGH, although less effective in inhibiting tumor growth, was successful in immobilizing tumor cells in situ to inhibit tumor distant metastasis, probably due to the inherent porous structure of the fibrous microspheres themselves and the CD 44-mediated targeting effect.
