Abstract

Combination chemotherapy with two or more complimentary drugs has been widely used for clinical cancer treatment. However, the efficacy and side effects of combination chemotherapy still remain a challenge. Here, we constructed an albumin-stabilized layered double hydroxide nanoparticle (BLDH) system to simultaneously load and deliver two widely used anti-tumor drugs, i.e. 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and albumin-bound PTX (Abraxane, ABX) for colorectal cancer treatment. The cellular uptake test has revealed that 5FU-ABX encapsulated BLDH (BLDH/5FU-ABX) nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by the colorectal cancer cell (HCT-116), synergistically inducing apoptosis of colon cancer cells. The in vivo test has demonstrated that BLDH/5FU-ABX nanomedicine significantly inhibited the tumor growth after three intravenous injections, without any detectable side effects. The enhanced therapeutic effectiveness is attributed to efficient accumulation of BLDH/5FU-ABX at tumor sites and acid-sensitive release of co-loaded drugs. Thus, combination chemotherapy based on BLDH/5FU-ABX nanomedicine would be a new strategy for colorectal cancer treatment.
