Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of APRPG modified zoledronic acid-loaded stealth cationic liposomes in nude mice bearing PC-3 prostate cancer. METHODS: Prostate cancer cell PC-3 beared nude mice model was constructed, growth inhibition of tumor volume between zoledronic acid cationic liposome and APRPG modificated zoledronic acid-loaded stealth cationic liposomes was compared, and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Immunohistochemistry analysis was used to detect the effect on expression of VEGF and CD44. RESULTS: The tumor inhibition rate of zoledronic acid cationic liposome and APRPG modificated zoledronic acid-loaded stealth cationic liposomes were 31.81%,68.18%, respectively, the tumor inhibition rate of the latter was significantly higher than that of the former (P<0.05), immunohistochemical results showed that VEGF and CD44 protein expression was strong positive in the model control group, in zoledronic acid cationic liposome group, it showed a moderate positive expression, and in APRPG modificated zoledronic acid-loaded stealth cationic liposomes group, the expression was very weak. CONCLUSION: The APRPG modified stealth liposome can exert a stronger inhibition effect in PC-3 nude mice.
