and multifunctional nanoparticles are highly
desirable biomedical materials for triggered and targeted drug delivery
applications. Here, we have designed pH- and redox-triggered magnetic
lipid–polymer hybrid nanoparticles (MHNPs) with a core–shell
structure. This design is composed of a silica-/mesoporous silica-coated
ellipsoidal magnetic nanoparticle with multifunctionality: carrying
the anticancer drug (doxorubicin, DOX), the cancer cell targeting
ligand (folic acid-conjugated poly(ethylene glycol), FA–PEG)
polymer, and being coated with a biocompatible pH-/redox-responsive
(poly-l-histidine–poly(ethylene glycol)–lipoic
acid; PLH–PEG–LA) polymer. The lipoic acid units of
the PLH–PEG–LA shell of the FA-MHNPs were cross-linked
using 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT). When the FA-MHNPs-DOX were exposed
to an endolysosomal pH of 5.5 and 10 mM glutathione (GSH), the particles
exhibited a very efficient DOX release profile within 24 h. In addition,
cytotoxicity, uptake, and apoptosis assays were performed against
breast cancer cell lines. These results showed that FA-MHNPs-DOX promote
an enhanced uptake and cell morbidity compared to the nontargeted
MHNPs-DOX against tested cell lines. Moreover, the FA-MHNPs-DOX exhibited
very effective cytotoxicity and also decreased the cell viability
through apoptosis against breast cancer cell lines. In conclusion,
it can be said that the pH and redox dual-responsive hybrid FA-MHNPs-DOX
has a great potential for controlled drug release.
