摘要: 目的:构建一种负载氟尿嘧啶的肝细胞癌靶向外泌体,并对其疗效与安全性进行评价。方法:采用慢病毒转染法,将磷脂酰肌醇蛋白聚糖-3单克隆抗体单链可变区修饰至外泌体表面,构建肝细胞癌靶向外泌体GPC3-Exo,用体外细胞摄取实验,研究其肝细胞癌靶向能力;采用超声处理法,将氟尿嘧啶载入外泌体,得载药外泌体GPC3-Exo-5FU,用细胞毒性实验,研究其对肝细胞癌细胞的杀伤能力;最后构建肝细胞癌皮下荷瘤裸鼠模型,研究载药外泌体的体内疗效及安全性。结果:成功构建肝细胞癌靶向外泌体GPC3-Exo,用多种细胞对GPC3-Exo的靶向能力进行探究,发现GPC3-Exo可高效靶向肝细胞癌细胞;经超声载药处理,得载药外泌体GPC3-Exo-5FU,载药率为(4.96 ± 0.26)%,用肝细胞癌细胞对GPC3-Exo-5FU的细胞毒性进行评估,发现GPC3-Exo-5FU可有效抑制肝细胞癌细胞的活力;最后用肝细胞癌皮下荷瘤小鼠评价GPC3-Exo-5FU的体内药效及安全性,发现GPC3-Exo-5FU有效抑制小鼠肿瘤增殖,抗肿瘤疗效与安全性均强于游离氟尿嘧啶。结论:本研究成功构建了一种负载氟尿嘧啶的肝细胞癌靶向外泌体,在肝细胞癌治疗中表现出良好的疗效及安全性。
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to develop a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-targeted exosome system loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy and safety. Methods: Glypican-3 (GPC3)-specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) was incorporated onto the exosome membrane via lentiviral transfection to generate GPC3-targeted exosomes (GPC3-Exo). The targeting ability of GPC3-Exo toward HCC cells was assessed using in vitro cellular uptake assays. 5-FU was loaded into GPC3-Exo by ultrasonic treatment to prepare the drug-loaded exosomes (GPC3-Exo-5FU). Cytotoxicity assays were performed to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of GPC3-Exo-5FU against HCC cells in vitro. Finally, a subcutaneous HCC xenograft nude mouse model was established to assess the in vivo therapeutic efficacy and safety of GPC3-Exo-5FU. Results: GPC3-Exo was successfully constructed and demonstrated efficient targeting toward HCC cells in various in vitro models. Following ultrasonic drug loading, GPC3-Exo-5FU was obtained with a drug-loading efficiency of 4.96% ± 0.26%. In vitro cytotoxicity assays confirmed that GPC3-Exo-5FU significantly inhibited the viability of HCC cells. In vivo studies using HCC-bearing nude mice showed that GPC3-Exo-5FU effectively suppressed tumor growth, with superior anti-tumor efficacy and safety compared to free 5-FU. Conclusion: This study successfully established a 5-FU-loaded, HCC-targeted exosome delivery system that demonstrated promising therapeutic potential and safety in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
