Abstract Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively kills tumor cells and augments chemotherapeutics in vivo. Here, we developed sTRAIL-iRGD, a recombinant protein consisting of sTRAIL fused to CRGDKGPDC, a C-terminal end binding peptide with an integrin-binding arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (iRGD) motif. CRGDKGPDC is a tumor-homing peptide with high penetration into tumor tissue and cells. We found that sTRAIL-iRGD internalized into cultured gastric cancer tumor cells and localized to both the tumor mass in vivo and three-dimensional multicellular spheroids in vitro. sTRAIL-iRGD had an antitumor effect in tumor cell lines, multicellular spheroids and nude mice with tumors. Repeated treatment with sTRAIL-iRGD reduced tumor growth and volume in vivo. Mice treated with sTRAIL-iRGD and paclitaxel (PTX) in combination showed no sign of sTRAIL-iRGD-related liver toxicity. Our data suggest that sTRAIL-iRGD is a promising anti-gastric cancer agent with high selectivity and limited systemic toxicity. |
