Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used as a traditional chemotherapy drug in tumor treatment, but its dose-dependent side effects make it susceptible to acquired resistance. CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor that has high expression in many cancers, including lung cancer. In this work, we studied the possibility of using CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3100, as a targeting molecule to targeted delivery of DOX to CXCR4 expressing lung cancer cells through conjugated gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). DOX was intercalated inside the pH-responsive doublestrand DNA (dsDNA) and then conveniently loaded onto the Au NPs. The CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3100, was bonded with LA-PEG, and then conjugated to the surface of Au-S bond. The doxorubicin release from AuNPs@DOX@AMD3100 NPs was in a pH-dependent model, and specificity of AuNPs@DOX@AMD3100 nanoparticle was verified by using free DOX and Au@DOX NPs as control. Results in this work not only confirmed the possibility of using AMD3100 as a targeting ligand for tumor-targeted treatment, but also suggested that the non-toxic Au NPs is a prospect nanocarrier for target design of cancer therapy.

Background: Among all cancers, lung cancer has high mortality among patients in most of the countries in the world. Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs can significantly reduce the side effects and dramatically improve the effects of the treatment. Folate, a suitable ligand, can be modified to the surface of tumor-selective drug delivery systems because it can selectively bind to the folate receptor, which is highly expressed on the surface of lung tumor cells. Objective: This study aimed to construct a kind of folate-targeted topotecan liposomes for investigating their efficacy and mechanism of action in the treatment of lung cancer in preclinical models. Methods: We conjugated topotecan liposomes with folate, and the liposomes were characterized by particle size, entrapment efficiency, cytotoxicity to A549 cells and in vitro release profile. Technical evaluations were performed on lung cancer A549 cells and xenografted A549 cancer cells in female nude mice, and the pharmacokinetics of the drug were evaluated in female SD rats. Results: The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes were proven to show effectiveness in targeting lung tumors. The anti-tumor effects of these liposomes were demonstrated by the decreased tumor volume and improved therapeutic efficacy. The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes also lengthened the topotecan blood circulation time. Conclusion: The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes are effective drug delivery systems and can be easily modified with folate, enabling the targeted liposomes to deliver topotecan to lung cancer cells and kill them, which could be used as potential carriers for lung chemotherapy.
