Responsive Nanomicellar Theranostic Cages for Metastatic Breast Cancer

Precluding the progression of metastasis with early diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer remains challenging due to lack of targeting specificity with poor diagnostic potential. Herein, an amphipathic chitosan-based targeted nanomicellar theranostics (30–45 nm) comprising doxorubicin–superpara...

Description
Summary:Precluding the progression of metastasis with early diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer remains challenging due to lack of targeting specificity with poor diagnostic potential. Herein, an amphipathic chitosan-based targeted nanomicellar theranostics (30–45 nm) comprising doxorubicin–superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles complexes (89.23%) with lower critical micelle concentration (0.1 μg/mL) were developed. Micelles exhibit concentration-based contrast enhancement in MRI (r2 6.27 mM–1 s–1) and hyperthermia rather than thermal-ablation. This theranostics delivers doxorubicin under alternating magnetic field (480 kHz) and at endosomal pH (pH 5.2) while showing stability at pH 7.4. Anti-αvβ3 integrin antibody conjugation onto PEGylated micelles (62.3%) enhances micellar internalization into drug-resistant MDA-MB-231 after 1 h and magnetizes the cells after 6 h over that with nonconjugated micelles. Immigration of MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells retards after 24 h, while significant reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential is observed under hyperthermia. Intratumoral administration of nanomicelles in 4T1 orthotopic spontaneous metastasis model demonstrated antitumor and fibrosis mediated caging effect with simultaneous enhancement of MRI-T2 contrast.
