ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cancer cells highly resistance to conventional chemo drugs, resulting low survival rates. The aim of the study was to design and develop dual targeting polymersomes (DTPS) loaded with phyto alkaloid agent i.e., piperlongumine (PL) for effective pancreatic cancer treatment. Here, hyaluronic acid (HA) was functionalized with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPEPEG-NH2), poly(ethylene glycol) bis (amine) (PEG), and phenylboronic acid (PBA) moieties. The designed DTPS could selectively recognize CD44/sialic acid (SA) and deliver PL to MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells, facilitated via HA-CD44 and PBA-SA interactions. Drug release and stability results implied sustained PL release profile and pH sensitivity. DTPS could be more efficiently bound with SA than other sugars based on fluorescence spectroscopy. The anticancer efficacy of designed polymersomes was tested with H6C7 normal pancreas cells and SA/CD44-overexpressed MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells. DTPS showed both SA and CD44-mediated higher cellular uptake while single-targeted polymersomes showed CD44-mediated cellular uptake. The PL-loaded DTPS efficiently uptake by MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells, causing up to 80 % cell growth inhibition, reduced cell spheroids volume and increased dead cells by 58.3 %. These results indicate that the newly developed DTPS can effectively serve as a pH-responsive drug delivery system for efficient treatment of cancer.
