Abstract

Graphic abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a type of malignant tumor with high lethality. Its high tumor cell-density and large variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) components present major barriers for drug delivery.

Methods: Paclitaxel-loaded PEGylated liposomes (PTX-Lip) were used as a tumor-priming agent to induce tumor cell apoptosis and decrease the abundance of ECM to promote cellular uptake and tumor delivery of nanodrugs. Paclitaxel exerts anti-cancer effects but, paradoxically, exacerbates cancer metastasis and drug resistance by increasing the expression of apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 protein (BCL-2). Thus, low-molecular-weight heparin-coated lipid-siRNA complex (LH-Lip/siBCL-2) was constructed to inhibit cancer metastasis and silence BCL-2 by BCL-2 siRNA (siBCL-2).

Results: Significant tumor growth inhibition efficacy was observed, accompanied by obvious inhibition of cancer metastasis in vivo.

Conclusion: These results suggested our sequential delivery of PTX-Lip and LH-Lip/siBCL-2 might provide a practical approach for PDAC or other ECM-rich tumors.

Keywords: pancreatic cancer, tumor priming, low-molecular-weight heparin, chemo-gene therapy, metastasis
