ApoE-modified liposomes encapsulating resveratrol and salidroside alleviate manifestations of Alzheimer's disease in APP/PS-1 mice.

Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is associated with aging and is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Several studies and clinical trials have demonstrated that resveratrol (Res) and salidroside (Sal) are not only biologically safe but also influence AD biomarker trajectories. However, their clinical applications have been quite limited due to poor specificity, low solubility, and insufficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration.

Multifunctional icariin and tanshinone IIA co-delivery liposomes with potential application for Alzheimer's disease.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a protective barrier for brain safety, but it is also a major obstacle to the delivery of drugs to the cerebral parenchyma such as the hippocampus, hindering the treatment of central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, an anti-AD brain-targeted nanodrug delivery system by co-loading icariin (ICA) and tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) into Aniopep-2-modified long-circulating (Ang2-ICA/TSIIA) liposomes was developed. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) was a receptor overexpressed on the BBB.

The anti-ovarian cancer effect of RPV modified paclitaxel plus schisandra B liposomes in SK-OV-3 cells and tumor-bearing mice.

Aims: Due to poor targeting ability of anti-tumor drugs and self-adaptation of tumors, the chemotherapy of ovarian cancer is still poorly effective. In recent years, the treatment of tumor with nano-targeted agents has become a potential research focus. In this study, a new type of short cell-penetrating peptide RPV-modified paclitaxel plus schisandrin B liposomes were constructed to disrupt VM channels, angiogenesis, proliferation and migration for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Tumor Microenvironmental Responsive Liposomes Simultaneously Encapsulating Biological and Chemotherapeutic Drugs for Enhancing Antitumor Efficacy of NSCLC.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most lethal types of cancer with highly infiltrating. Chemotherapy is far from satisfactory, vasculogenic mimicry (VM) and angiogenesis results in invasion, migration and relapse.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to construct a novel CPP modified vinorelbine and dioscin liposomes by two new functional materials, DSPE-PEG-MAL and CPP-PVGLIG-PEG, to destroy VM channels, angiogenesis, EMT and inhibit invasion and migration.

GGP modified daunorubicin plus dioscin liposomes inhibit breast cancer by suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Tumor invasion and metastasis are the nodus of anti-tumor. Epithelial cell-mesenchymal transition is widely regarded as one of the key steps in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer. In this study, GGP modified daunorubicin plus dioscin liposomes are constructed and characterized.

Enhanced antitumour efficacy of functionalized doxorubicin plus schisandrin B co-delivery liposomes via inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a malignant cancer characterized by easy invasion, metastasis and poor prognosis, so that conventional chemotherapy cannot inhibit its invasion and metastasis. Doxorubicin (DOX), as a broad-spectrum antitumour drug, cannot be widely used in clinic because of its poor targeting, short half-life, strong toxicity and side effects. Therefore, the aim of our study is to construct a kind of PFV modified DOX plus schisandrin B liposomes to solve the above problems, and to explore its potential mechanism of inhibiting NSCLC invasion and metastasis.

Enhanced antitumor efficacy using epirubicin and schisandrin B co-delivery liposomes modified with PFV via inhibiting tumor metastasis.

As a malignant tumor, breast cancer is very prone to metastasis. Chemotherapy is one of the most common means for treating breast cancer. However, due to the serious metastasis and the poor targeting effect of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, even after years of efforts, the therapeutic effect is still unsatisfied.

RPV-modified epirubicin and dioscin co-delivery liposomes suppress non-small cell lung cancer growth by limiting nutrition supply.

Chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is far from satisfactory, mainly due to poor targeting of antitumor drugs and self-adaptations of the tumors. Angiogenesis, vasculogenic mimicry (VM) channels, migration, and invasion are the main ways for tumors to obtain nutrition. Herein, RPV-modified epirubicin and dioscin co-delivery liposomes were successfully prepared.
