AB  - Novel methods of cancer therapy are constantly being investigated since the current approach heavily relies on the use of non-specific and toxic chemotherapy agents. Ideally, a drug used for cancer therapy would specifically target tumor sites or rather bind specifically with cancer cells. The way to achieve this is by targeting cancer cell specific receptors or receptors present in abnormally high counts at the surface. Rapid proliferation of cancer cells is fueled by large amounts of energy that is in turn produced by abnormal glucose uptake. Because of this high energy/glucose demand, cancer cells exhibit an abnormally high glucose receptor (GLUTs) count on their surface, compared to normal, healthy cells. We have utilized this glucose dependency to create glucose modified liposomes (Glucosomes) that are specifically bound by cancer cells. Glucosomes can be used to transport different substances, either hydrophilic or hydrophobic, and can therefore deliver any type of drug to cancer cells, increasing its efficiency. Another important aspect to consider is the controlled release of the drug being transported in order to maximize therapeutic efficiency. Controlled release can be achieved by utilizing different internal or external influences. In our study, we have used standard Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles to load glucosomes and induce their controlled opening via an external magnetic field. By applying an external magnetic field, the magnetic nanoparticles start heating up and transferring this thermal energy to the surrounding lipid bilayer, causing its perturbation and opening of the glucosome. Our study has found that controlled release can be achieved with high efficiency while the chemical stability of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles stays practically intact. Using EPR spectroscopy, we have shown that Fe3O4 nanoparticles remain trapped within the lipid bilayer and are essentially protected from oxidation that would diminish their magnetic properties. Since magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles are lodged well within the lipid bilayer no thermal damage can be caused to the drug being transported within the glucosome bilayer, making this a viable controlled release cancer targeting drug delivery system.

AB  - Micro–sized multivesicular liposomes were prepared, radiolabeled with 177Lu, and tested in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the potential of 177Lu–labeled micro liposomes in radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) therapy. A standard reverse–phase procedure of liposome preparation with a lipid mixture of DPPC: CHOL (80:20%) was used for the synthesis. TEM and fluorescence microscopy imaging were performed to determine the size, shape, and structure of the prepared liposomes. Both measurements are in good agreement while TEM micrographs additionally indicate to a large multivesicular inner structure of prepared liposomes. A simple and straightforward procedure was used for liposome radiolabeling with 177Lu, a well–known and commonly used radionuclide in radiotherapy with favorable properties, that can be exploited in RSO therapy. Radiolabeled 177Lu–liposomes were tested in vitro for stability and then injected into the knee joints of Wistar rats where liposome in vivo behavior was followed up to 30 days post injection. Results from both ex vivo biodistribution and in vivo imaging studies presented a high stability and retention (>94 %ID) of 177Lu–micro liposomes in the synovial liquid for the entire observation period. Leakage of free 177Lu or 177Lu–liposomes from the synovial fluid has not been detected, indicating to a possible application of 177Lu–liposomes in radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) therapy.

AB  - Small glucose-modified liposomes (GMLs) were loaded with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) and fluorescein using a standard thin layer preparation procedure and a varying lipid/MNPs ratio. The liposomes were characterized with TEM and DLS measurements, and MNPs encapsulation rate was determined using ICP-OES. Prepared liposomes were stored at 5 °C for 30 days and subsequently exposed to an external magnetic field (20 mT) with varying exposure times (2‒20 min), at room temperature. The release of fluorescein from GMLs induced by the magnetic field exposures was quantified, showing a high release rate (25‒85%) depending on the concentration of MNPs in GMLs. EPR measurements were conducted during the liposomes storage period in order to provide semi-quantitative information of possible MNPs oxidation from Fe3O4 to Fe2O3 inside the liposomes, impacting MNPs magnetic properties. In contrast to the MNPs water dispersion, no significant change in the EPR signal of MNPs encapsulated inside GMLs was detected over the course of 30 days. The data presented in this study indicate that GMLs loaded with MNPs maintain a high stability for prolonged periods of time and that this delivery system may be used for magnetically assisted controlled drug release.
