Abstract

Generally, many drugs including nanomedicine can permeate into a superficial layer of tumors through an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, blood-tumor barrier negatively impacts permeation and accumulation of therapeutic drugs. The active targeting of nanoparticles to tumor endothelial cells (TECs) constitutes a breakthrough for overcoming this stint. Based on integrin αvβ3 (a highly specific TEC biomarker) and CD44 (a biomaker for tumor cells), a synergistic active targeting delivery system is able to target not only tumor blood vessels but also tumor cells. Therefore, a specific ligand of αvβ3, tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) and a major ligand of CD44, hyaluronan (HA), are employed to decorate on the surface of solid lipid nanoparticles (TeHA-SLNs). As a result, the docetaxel-loaded TeHA-SLNs (TeHA-SLNs/DTX) exhibit an excellent anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo through synergistic active-targeting function. This chapter gives an introduction to and discussion of the commonly used production and synthetic methods for tetrac conjugated HA and TeHA-SLNs/DTX. Moreover, the methods for characterization and cell targeting assessment in a αvβ3- and CD44-enriched B16F10 cell line are described. Finally, methods to assess targeting effects and antitumor activity of TeHA-SLNs/DTX in vivo are described.
