Research Abstract |
Owing to its aggressiveness and the lack of effective therapies, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a dismal prognosis. New strategies to improve treatment and survival are therefore urgently required. We developed X-bound nanoparticles as vehicles for delivery of anticancer drugs specifically to cancer cells. X-bound liposomes containing Cy5. 5 or Cisplatin were effectively delivered into CA19-9 expressing pancreatic cancer cells. Intravenously injected X-bound liposomes carrying Cisplatin were successfully delivered to pancreatic cancer cells, mediating efficient tumor growth inhibition as well as prolonging survival in mouse xenograft models. This modality represents a new strategy for pancreatic cancer cell-targeting therapy.
