Abstract:

Objective To observe paclitaxel and/or cisplatin loaded microfiber by electrospinning technique, deliver this system to lung cancer cell A549 in vitro and observe the inhibition of cancer cell and to research effectiveness of controlled drugs delivered by electrospinning technique in antitumor field. Methods Lung cancer cell A549 was cultivated in vitro and incubated on 96-well plates with density of 1×10⁴ per well. The plates were incubated at 37 ℃ and saturated humidity for 24 hours. The plates were taken out and drugs were delivered at different concentrations in each group. There were controlled groups. Plates were incubated for 48 hours. Add in MTT(20 μL/well) and incubated for 4 hours. The medium containing MTT was discarded thoroughly and 150 μL DMSO was added, gently shaken to get a clear solution 10~15 min later. OD 490 was determined. Inhibition rate of drugs was calculated. Results Poly propylene carbonate loading paclitaxel and cisplatin controlled delivery system by electrospinning technique could inhibit cancer cell in vitro, stronger than naked paclitaxel and cisplatin and their single drug-loaded microfiber. Poly propylene carbonate loading paclitaxel or cisplatin has stronger inhibition to A549 lung cancer cells than naked paclitaxel or cisplatin. Blank poly propylene carbonate showed no inhibitory effect on the cancer cells. Conclusion Poly propylene carbonate loading paclitaxel and/or cisplatin by electrospinning technique could inhibit lung cancer cells in vitro significantly. Controlled drug-delivery system by electrospinning technique could implant antitumor drugs locally, reduce toxicity and side effect of chemotherapeutics and have a great application potential.
