Abstract:Cardiovascular disease is a serious threat to human life and health, atherosclerosis is the main pathological basis of cardiovascular disease, however, the existing drugs for the treatment of atherosclerosis are prone to cause many adverse reactions, and it is necessary to explore new strategies for the treatment of atherosclerosis. In this paper, firstly, a polyamide-amine (PAMAM) dendritic polymer with ethylenediamine nucleus, 5.0 generation solution (PAMAM G5.0) was used as a substrate, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was modified on the surface of PAMAM G5.0 to constitute a CD-G5 drug-carrying cavity. Then, the hydrophobic anti-inflammatory drug curcumin (CUR) was loaded as a model drug within CD-G5 to obtain CUR-loaded nanoparticles (CURNPs). Finally, a bionic nanodrug delivery system (MM@CURNPs) was prepared by wrapping macrophage membranes (MM) with immune escape response and drug slow release outside the CURNPs. FTIR and 1HNMR were used to characterize the structure of CD-G5; the microscopic morphology and particle size distribution of MM@CURNPs were determined by TEM and nano-particle size distribution meter, and the evaluation of the slow-release performance and in vitro activity of MM@CURNPs was carried out based on the drug release assay and in vitro cytotoxicity and macrophage uptake assay. The results showed that the average particle size (162.2 nm) of MM@CURNPs increased by 13.9 nm after CURNPs were coated by MM; the average particle size of MM@CURNPs was 162.2 nm when placed for 1 d, and the average particle size of MM@CURNPs was 238.6 nm when placed for 10 d; the drug loading rate of CURNPs was 9.60%, and the in vitro drug release rate of MM@CURNPs was slower than that of CURNPs, and the cumulative release reached about 50% at 72 h; MM@CURNPs were less toxic than PAMAM G5.0 and CURNPs, with 90% activity in mouse monocyte macrophage leukemia cells (Raw 264.7 cells) even at a concentration of 1 mmol/L; MM retained macrophage-intrinsic membrane proteins and functions on the MM, which could help MM@CURNPs to with macrophage immune escape function, and at 4 h, the average fluorescence intensity of Raw 264.7 cells to fluorescently labeled MM@CURNPs particles uptake was 72, and the average fluorescence intensity of Raw 264.7 cells to fluorescently labeled CURNPs particles uptake was 80.
