Abstract
Recently, paclitaxel (PTX) was reported to increase intracellular lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, triggering cancer cell ferroptosis. Based on this, some efforts had been made to improve PTX treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our previous studies demonstrated that triptolide (TPL) could improve the antitumor effect of PTX. Nevertheless, the poor solubility and side effects often limit the application of chemotherapy drugs. In this paper, we constructed a novel nanodrug delivery system (NDDS) chemosynthesis by PEGylated generation 3 (G3) dendritic polylysine coloaded with PTX and TPL (PTX-TPL-PEG-PLL, PTPP), which was endowed with the ability of tumor targeting and favorable solubility. In addition, we demonstrated that TPL could induce ROS generation by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway to enhance the ferroptosis-induced effect of PTX. Besides, ferroptosis induced by PTPP could improve chemoresistance through inhibiting the level of P-gp, GPX4, and SLC7A11. Furthermore, we determined that ferroptosis may strengthen the immune response by increasing the expression of CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ+ cells while decreasing Treg cells. In general, PTPP may be a potential system for NSCLC treatment.
The PTX-TPL-PEG-PLL nanodrug delivery system enhances cancer cell ferroptosis and improves chemoresistance in non-small-cell lung cancer treatment by increasing ROS generation and strengthening the immune response.
