研究目的
To develop a pH-sensitive polypeptide copolymer for the co-delivery of a photosensitizer and anti-cancer mannose for enhanced cancer treatment.
研究成果
The pH-sensitive polypeptide copolymer showed great potential for enhanced cancer therapy by co-delivering a photosensitizer and anti-cancer mannose, leading to synergistic inhibition of tumor cell growth.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific type of cancer cell and may not be generalizable to all cancer types. The in vivo studies were conducted on mice, and results may vary in humans.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A pH-sensitive polypeptide copolymer was synthesized and conjugated with mannose through a Schiff base. An iodinated boron dipyrromethene (BDPI) photosensitizer was encapsulated by the nanoparticles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Murine mammary carcinoma (4T1) cells were used for in vitro studies, and BALB/c mice were used for in vivo studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a Bruker AC spectrometer for NMR, Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS90 for DLS, JEOL-2010 microscope for TEM, and a Xenogen IVIS Lumina system for in vivo imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of the copolymer, preparation of nanoparticles, in vitro and in vivo studies including cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and photodynamic therapeutic efficacy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analyses were performed by student's t-test.
