Popis: Due to the non-targeted release and low solubility of anti-gastric cancer agent, apatinib (Apa), a first-line drug with long-term usage in a high dosage often induces multi-drug resistance and causes serious side effects. In order to avoid these drawbacks, lipid-film-coated Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) with hyaluronan (HA) modification was used for Apa loading to improve its solubility and targeting ability. Furthermore, anti-tumor compound of gamabufotalin (CS-6) was selected as a partner of Apa with reducing dosage for combinational gastric therapy. Thus, HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs were constructed to synchronously transport the two drugs into tumor tissue. In vitro assay indicated that HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs can synergistically inhibit proliferation and invasion/metastasis of BGC-823 cells via downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). In vivo assay demonstrated strongest anti-tumor growth and liver metastasis of HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs administration in BGC-823 cells-bearing mice compared with other groups due to the excellent penetration in tumor tissues and outstanding synergistic effects. In summary, we have successfully developed a new nanocomplexes for synchronous Apa/CS-6 delivery and synergistic gastric cancer (GC) therapy.
