The Study of Exosomes-Encapsulated mPEG-PLGA Polymer Drug-Loaded Particles for Targeted Therapy of Liver Cancer

The emergence of targeted drugs brings hope to patients with advanced liver Cancer. However, due to the complex and diverse environment in the human body, the overall response rate of targeted drugs is not high. Therefore, how to efficiently deliver targeted drugs to tumor sites is a major challenge for current research. The project intends to construct mPEG-PLGA nanoparticles loaded with Sora and encapsulate them with exosomes for targeted therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma. mPEG-PLGA drug-loaded nanoparticles were prepared by the dialysis method and characterized by TEM and DLS. The obtained nanoparticles were incubated with the exosomes of liver Cancer cells, and the exosomes-encapsulated drug-loaded nanoparticles (Exo-Sora-NPs) were obtained under pulsed ultrasound conditions, and they were characterized by Western blot, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic LIGHT scattering (DLS). The toxic effect of Exo-Sora-NPs on liver Cancer cells was detected by the CCK-8 experiment. The uptake efficiency of nanoparticles by liver Cancer cells was detected by a confocal microscope. The accumulation and infiltration depth of nanomedicine in liver Cancer tissues were observed by confocal microscope on frozen sections of liver Cancer tissue after the H22 liver Cancer subcutaneous tumor transplantation model was constructed. The tumor size, body weight, pathology, and serology analysis of mice were measured after administration. The mPEG-PLGA polymer drug-loaded particles encapsulated by exosomes have high targeting ability and biosafety. To a certain extent, they can target the drug to the tumor site with a smaller systemic response and have a highly effective killing effect on the tumor. Nanodrug-loaded particles encapsulated by exosomes have great potential as drug carriers.
