摘要
Radioresistance significantly decreases the efficacy of radiotherapy, which can ultimately lead to tumor recurrence and metastasis. As a novel type of nano-radiosensitizer, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown promising radiosensitizing properties in the radiotherapy of glioma, but their ability to efficiently enter and accumulate in tumor cells needs to be improved. In the current study, AS1411 and verapamil (VRP) conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA) coated AgNPs (AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP) were synthesized and characterized. Dark-field imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were applied to investigate the accumulation of AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP mixed in different ratios in U251 glioma cells. To assess the influences of 19:1 mixed AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP on the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux activity, rhodamine 123 accumulation assay was carried out. Colony formation assay and tumor-bearing nude mice model were employed to examine the radiosensitizing potential of 19:1 mixed AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP. Thioredoxin Reductase (TrxR) Assay Kit was used to detect the TrxR activity in cells treated with different functionally modified AgNPs. Characterization results revealed that AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP were successfully constructed. When AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP were mixed in a ratio of 19:1, the amount of intracellular nanoparticles increased greatly through AS1411-mediated active targeting and inhibition of P-gp activity. In vitro and in vivo experiments clearly showed that the radiosensitization efficacy of 19:1 mixed AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP was much stronger than that of AgNPs@BSA and AgNPs@BSA-AS. It was also found that 19:1 mixed AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP significantly inhibited intracellular TrxR activity. These results indicate that 19:1 mixed AgNPs@BSA-AS and AgNPs@BSA-AS-VRP can effectively accumulate in tumor cells and have great potential as high-efficiency nano-radiosensitizers in the radiotherapy of glioma.
