Abstract Recurrence and metastasis are the shortcomings of the clinical treatment of colon cancer. Finding an efficacy strategy for the treatment of colon cancer is important. In recent years, PLGA has been shown to have potential as a broad therapeutic drug delivery system. this study aimed to design a dual-loaded nanoparticles drug delivery system to overcome the limitations of chemotherapeutic drugs in colon cancer therapy. We developed epidermal growth factor (EGF) functionalized poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) co-loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5Fu) and perfluorocarbon (PFC) (EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC) for target therapy of colon cancer. EGF-PLGA@5Fu /PFC NPs were estimated to have an average size of 200 nm with a 5Fu-loading efficiency of 7.29%. In vitro release profile exhibited a pH-responsive release. CCK-8, Hoechst33342 staining and flow cytometry assays were performed to investigate the functions of EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs in SW620 cells. Targeted EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs also exhibited higher cellular uptake than non-targeted NPs in colon cancer cells. EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs were found to have the best efficiency on cell viability suppression and apoptosis induction in SW620 cells. In xenograft mice, EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs had the best suppressive effects on tumor growth compared with 5Fu, PLGA@5Fu and PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs. The results of histopathological analysis further indicated that EGF-targeted NPs were the most efficient on tumor growth inhibition. Mechanically, the data demonstrated the improved therapeutic outcomes were owing to the fact that PFC could relieve tumor hypoxia via transporting oxygen to the tumor. We creatively constructed a biocompatible nanodrug delivery system and functionalized nanoparticles may provide new potential for selective delivery of chemotherapy drugs to cancers.

Fucoidan, a natural sulfated polysaccharide, which can activate the immune response and lessen adverse effects, is expected to be an adjuvant agent in combination with chemotherapy. Using natural hydrophilic anticancer polysaccharides to simultaneously encapsulate hydrophobic anticancer drugs is feasible, and a reduced side effect can be achieved to amplify the therapeutic efficacy. In this study, a novel type of fucoidan-PLGA nanocarrier (FPN-DTX) was developed for the encapsulation of the hydrophobic anticancer drug, docetaxel (DTX), as a drug delivery system. From the comparison between FPN-DTX and the PLGA particles without fucoidan (PLGA-DTX), FPNs–DTX with fucoidan were highly stable with smaller sizes and dispersed well without aggregations in an aqueous environment. The drug loading and release can be further modified by modulating relative ratios of Fucoidan (Fu) to PLGA. The (FPN 3-DTX) nanoparticles with a 10:3 ratio of Fu:PLGA displayed uniform particle size with higher encapsulation efficiency than PLGA NPs and sustained drug release ability. The biocompatible fucoidan-PLGA nanoparticles displayed low cytotoxicity without drug loading after incubation with MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells. Despite lower cellular uptake than that of PLGA-DTX due to a higher degree of negative zeta potential and hydrophilicity, FPN 3-DTX effectively exerted better anticancer ability, so FPN 3-DTX can serve as a competent drug delivery system.

Abstract Background: Tumor recurrence and metastasis occur at a high rate in patients with colon cancer. Identification of effective strategies for the treatment of colon cancer is critical. Recently, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been shown to have potential as a broad therapeutic drug delivery system. We designed a dual-loaded nanoparticle drug delivery system to overcome the limitations of chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat colon cancer. Methods: We developed epidermal growth factor (EGF) functionalized PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) co-loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5Fu) and perfluorocarbon (PFC) (EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC) for targeted treatment of colon cancer. CCK-8 assay, Hoechst33342 staining and flow cytometry were performed to investigate the functions of EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs in SW620 cells. Beside, animal experiment, histological analysis and immunofluorescence staining were adopted to further confirm the role of EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs in vivo. Results: The findings showed that EGF-PLGA@5Fu /PFC NPs had an average size 200 nm and a 5Fu-loading efficiency of 7.29%. Furthermore, in vitro release was pH-sensitive. Targeted EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs exhibited higher cellular uptake than non-targeted NPs into colon cancer cells. In addition, EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs suppressed cell viability and induced apoptosis in SW620 cells to a greater extent than non-targeted NPs. In tumor xenografted mice, EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs suppressed tumor growth more effectively than 5Fu, PLGA@5Fu or PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs. Histopathological analysis further demonstrated that EGF-targeted NPs inhibited tumor growth to a greater extent than non-targeted or non-NP treatments. The improved therapeutic outcomes observed in this study were due to relief of tumor hypoxia by transport of oxygen by PFC to the tumors. Conclusion: We constructed a biocompatible nanodrug delivery system based on functionalized nanoparticles that provided a novel strategy for selective delivery of chemotherapy drugs to tumors.

EGF-PLGA@5Fu /PFC NPs were estimated by morphology, size distribution, in vitro stability and release profile. CCK-8, Hoechst33342 staining and flow cytometry assays were performed to investigate the functions of EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs in SW620 cells. Results: We found that EGF-PLGA@5Fu/PFC NPs had an average size of 200 nm with a 5Fu-loading efficiency of 7.29%.
