Prediction and verification of targets for α-hederin/oxaliplatin dual-loaded rHDL modified liposomes: Reversing effector T-cells dysfunction and improving anti-COAD efficiency in vitro and in vivo.

ABSTRACT

This study tried to develop the α-Hederin/Oxaliplatin (OXA) dual-loaded rHDL (α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL) modified liposomes to improve the therapeutic index on colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). The α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL were prepared and evaluated for characterizations, accumulate to tumor tissues, and antitumor activity. A thorough investigation into oxaliplatin resistant and KRAS-mutant related hub keg genes were identified and performed to assess the prognosis role of the genetic signature in COAD. The potential immune signatures and molecular docking for verifing the predicted targets of α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL in tumor-bearing mice. Results suggested that α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL could enhance the sensitivity of oxaliplatin in HCT116/L-OHP cells via the regulation of KEAP1/NRF2 -mediated signaling and HO1 or GPX4 proteins. Furthermore, α-Hederin-OXA-rHDL regulated the predicted targets of PRDM1 interaction with miR-140-5p, efficient activing CD8 T cell to improve therapeutic response in vivo. Collectively, this work provides drug delivery with rHDL dual-loaded α-Hederin and oxaliplatin synergistically targets cancer cells and effectory T cells combating COAD.
