Abstract The gestational trophoblastic tumor seriously endangers child productive needs and the health of women in childbearing age. Nanodrug-based therapy mediated by transporters provides novel strategy for the treatment of trophoblastic tumors. Focus on the overexpressed human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) on the membrane of choriocarcinoma cells (JEG-3), the cytarabine (Cy, a substrate of ENT1) grafted liposome (Cy-Lipo) was introduced for targeted delivery of methotrexate (Cy-Lipo@MTX) for choriocarcinoma therapy in this study. The ENT1 has high affinity for Cy-Lipo and can mediate the endocytosis of the designed nanovehicles into JEG-3 cells. The ENT1 protein maintains its transporting function through circulation and regeneration during endocytosis. Therefore, Cy-Lipo-based formulations achieved high tumor accumulation and retention in pharmacokinetic and distribution studies. More importantly, the designed Cy-lipid conjugation exhibited a synergistic therapeutic effect on choriocarcinoma. Finally, Cy-Lipo@MTX exerts an extremely powerful anti-choriocarcinoma effect with fewer side effects. This study suggests that the overexpressed ENT1 on choriocarcinoma cells holds a great potential to be a high-efficiency target for the rational design of active targeting nanotherapeutics.
