[en] We hypothesized that the active targeting of αvβ3 integrin overexpressed in neoangiogenic blood vessels and glioblastoma (GBM) cells combined with magnetic targeting of paclitaxel- and SPIO-loaded PLGA-based nanoparticles could improve accumulation of nanoparticles in the tumor and therefore improve the treatment of GBM. Methods: PTX/SPIO PLGA nanoparticles with or without RGD-grafting were characterized. Their in vitro cellular uptake and cytotoxicity was evaluated by fluorospectroscopy and MTT assay. In vivo safety and anti-tumor efficacy of different targeting strategies was evaluated in orthotopic U87MG tumor model over multiple intravenous injections. Results: The nanoparticles of 250nm were negatively charged. RGD targeted nanoparticles showed a specific and higher cellular uptake than untargeted nanoparticles by activated U87MG and HUVEC cells. In vitro IC50 of PTX after 48h was approximately 1 ng/mL for all the PTX-loaded nanoparticles. The median survival time of the mice treated with magnetic targeted nanoparticles was higher than the control (saline) mice or mice treated with other evaluated strategies. The 6 doses of PTX did not induce any detectable toxic effects on liver, kidney and heart when compared to Taxol. Conclusion. The magnetic targeting strategy resulted in better therapeutic effect than the other targeting strategies (passive, active).
