Abstract

Objective ·To investigate the anti-cancer effects of DNA nanoflowers (DF) loaded with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and doxorubicin (DOX) on mice Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells. Methods ·The DF loaded with HRP (HRP-DF) was synthesized by rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction and DOX was loaded to prepare DOX/HRP-DF, the physical properties of which were detected by scanning electron microscopy and laser particle sizer. In vitro drug release capacity of DOX/HRP-DF was tested with acid buffer solution. The safety of DOX/HRP-DF was evaluated by CCK-8 assay to detect the cytotoxicity of 16HBE cells treated with DOX/HRP-DF and free DOX at different time points. Under anoxic conditions, the oxygen production capacity of DOX/HRP-DF in LLC cells was detected by using the oxygen-sensitive probe, and the effects of different dosages of free DOX, DOX-DF and DOX/HRP-DF on the proliferation capacity of LLC cells were examined by CCK-8 assay. The effects of DOX/HRP-DF on the migration and invasion of LLC cells were detected by scratching assay and Transwell assay in the experimental group treated with different dosages of DOX/HRP-DF and the control group treated with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Results ·DOX/HRP-DF were successfully prepared and observed as flower-like structures under scanning electron microscopy with uniform size. The average diameter and potential of DOX/HRP-DF were (415.90±9.32) nm and (-17.43±1.20) mV, respectively. DOX/HRP-DF had a DOX loading of (38.19±0.39)% with good pH-sensitive drug release properties. DOX/HRP-DF could significantly reduce the toxic effect of DOX on human normal cells. The results of Laser confocal microscopy showed that DOX/HRP-DF could effectively alleviate the hypoxic condition of LLC cells. CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation rate of LLC cells in the DOX/HRP-DF group was significantly lower in a dose-dependent manner, compared to the free DOX and DOX-DF groups (P<0.05). The results of scratching assay showed that the scratch healing rate of the DOX/HRP-DF group was lower than that of PBS group in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Transwell experiments showed the number of LLC cells passing through Matrigel gel in the DOX/HRP-DF group was reduced in a dose-dependent manner, compared with the PBS group (P<0.05). Conclusion ·The successfully prepared DOX/HRP-DF could effectively deliver drugs, and alleviate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, and significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of LLC cells, which is expected to provide new ideas for lung cancer treatment.
