Aim: To develop a micelle-type nanobubble decorated with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate-conjugated transferrin, with encapsulation of paclitaxel (PTX@FT-NB) for lung cancer treatment. Materials & methods: PTX@FT-NBs were characterized to determine their physicochemical properties, structural stability and cytotoxicity. Lung cancer cell and mouse xenograft tumor models were used to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of PTX@FT-NB. Results: The PTX@FT-NBs not only showed selective targeting to lung cancer cells but also inhibited tumor growth significantly via paclitaxel release. Furthermore, paclitaxel-induced microtubule stabilization demonstrated the release of the drug from PTX@FT-NB in the targeted tumor cell both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: PTX@FT-NB has the potential as an anticancer nanocarrier against lung cancer cells because of its specific targeting and better drug delivery capacity.

Actinidia Chinensis Planch roots (acRoots) are used to treat many cancers, although the anti-tumor mechanism by which acRoots inhibit cancer cell growth remains unclear. The present study aims at investigating inhibitory effects of acRoots on human lung cancer cells and potential mechanisms. Our data demonstrate that the inhibitory effects of acRoots on lung cancer cells depend on genetic backgrounds and phenotypes of cells. We furthermore found the expression of metabolism-associated gene profiles varied between acRoots-hypersensitive (H460) or hyposensitive lung cancer cells (H1299) after screening lung cancer cells with different genetic backgrounds. We selected retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB) as the core target within metabolism-associated core gene networks and evaluated RARB changes and roles in cells treated with acRoots at different concentrations and timeframes. Hypersensitive cancer cells with the deletion of RARB expression did not response to the treatment with acRoots, while RARB deletion did not change effects of acRoots on hyposensitive cells. Thus, it seems that RARB as the core target within metabolism-associated networks plays important roles in the regulation of lung cancer cell sensitivity to acRoots.
