Popis: Drug delivery using thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) has significant potential for tumor drug targeting and can be combined with local hyperthermia to trigger drug release. Although TSL-mediated drug delivery can be effective by itself, we developed doxorubicin (DOX)-containing CO2 bubble-generating TSL (TSL-C) that were found to enhance the antitumor effects of DOX owing to the synergism between burst release of drug and hyperthermia-induced CO2 generation. An ultrasound imaging system was used to monitor hyperthermia-induced CO2 generation in TSL-C and the results revealed that hyperthermia-induced CO2 generation in TSL-C led to increased DOX release compared to that observed for non-CO2-generating TSL. Moreover, TSL-C significantly inhibited the tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice compared to TSL (p
