摘要
A multifunctional drug delivery system（GNRs@mSiO_2-HA-RGD） was developed by conjugating targeting ligand hyaluronic acid（HA） and RGD with mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods（GNRs@mSiO_2） for dual-targeted chemo-photothermal therapy. The physiochemical properties of the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, UV-vis spectra, and ~1H NMR. Doxorubicin hydrochloride（DOX）, an anticancer drug, was used as the model drug to investigate the drug loading, in vitro drug release profiles and cytotoxicity. The experimental results show that DOX-GNRs@mSiO_2-HA-RGD is synthesized with a mean diameter of 116 nm and a sufficient load capacity of about 19.8%. It also has p H-enzyme sensitive and NIRtriggered drug release manner. Cellular uptake indicates that DOX-GNRs@mSiO_2-HA-RGD exhibits a higher cellular uptake via CD44 receptor and integrin receptor mediated endocytosis compared with the GNRs@mSiO_2 modified with one receptor or no receptor. In comparison with chemotherapy or photothermal therapy alone, DOX-GNRs@mSiO_2-HA-RGD displayes the synergistic effects and achieves a higher therapeutic efficacy. It can be expected that DOX-GNRs@mSiO_2-HA-RGD is a potential dual-targeted chemo-photothermal therapeutic platform for effective cancer treatment.
