RESUMO
Loading of chemotherapeutic agents into nanoparticles has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, simultaneous delivery of different functional drugs to tumor sites for chemotherapy still remains challenging. In this study, nanogels formed by an engineered coiled-coil polypeptide PC10A were designed and prepared as a carrier for co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) through ultrasonic treatment and electrostatic adsorption. The drug loading content and encapsulation efficiency of PTX and DOX in the PC10A/PTX/DOX nanogels were 5.98 wt%, 70 wt%, and 8.55 wt%, 83 wt%, respectively. Because the polypeptide PC10A was non-toxic and biodegradable, the PC10A/PTX/DOX nanogels exhibited good biocompatibility. Thein vitroandin vivoantitumor experiments showed that the PC10A/PTX/DOX nanogels possessed obviously synergistic therapy effect of tumors and lower side effects compared with free PTX/DOX. Therefore, the PC10A/PTX/DOX nanogels are promising to provide a new strategy for combination therapy of different functional drugs.

A facile method for in situ fabrication of three-dimensional gold nanoparticle micropatterns in a cell-resistant polyethylene glycol hydrogel has been developed by combining photochemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles with photolithography technology. The gold nanoparticle micropatterns were further bio-modified with cell integrated polypeptide NcysBRGD based on a gold-thiol bond to improve cell behaviors. Primary cell tests showed that NcysBRGD can enhance cell adhesion very well on the surface of gold nanoparticle micropatterns.
