Cubosomes functionalized with antibodies as a potential strategy for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer

Breast cancers that overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) have poor prognosis. Moreover, available chemotherapies cause numerous side effects due to poor selectivity. To advance more effective and safer therapies for HER2-positive breast cancer, we explored the fusion of drug d...

Moreover, available chemotherapies cause numerous side effects due to poor selectivity. To advance more effective and safer therapies for HER2-positive breast cancer, we explored the fusion of drug delivery technology and immunotherapy. Our research led to the design of immunocubosomes loaded with panobinostat and functionalized with trastuzumab antibodies, enabling precise targeting of breast cancer cells that overexpress HER2. We characterised the nanostructure of cubosomes using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Moreover, we confirmed the integrity of the trastuzumab antibodies on the immunocubosomes by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Additionally, we found that panobinostat-loaded immunocubosomes were more cytotoxic, and in an uptake-dependant manner, towards a HER2-positive breast cancer cell line (SKBR3) compared to a cell line representing healthy cells (L929). These results support that the functionalization of cubosomes with antibodies enhances both the effectiveness of the loaded drug and its selectivity for targeting HER2-positive breast cancer cells.Department of Health Sciences and Technology ETH ZurichPaul Scherrer Institute (PSI)Department of Drugs and Medicine School of Pharmaceutical Sciences São Paulo State University, São PauloCollege of Food Science and Engineering Qingdao Agricultural University, ShandongDepartment of Materials ETH ZurichDepartment of Drugs and Medicine School of Pharmaceutical Sciences São Paulo State University, São PauloETH ZurichPaul Scherrer Institute (PSI)Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)Qingdao Agricultural University2025-04-29T18:56:56Z2024-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article291-300http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.091Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, v. 673, p. 291-300.1095-71030021-9797https://hdl.handle.net/11449/30100710.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.0912-s2.0-85195791936Scopusreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengJournal of Colloid and Interface Scienceinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVictorelli, Francesca DamianiLutz-Bueno, VivianeSantos, Kaio Pini [UNESP]Wu, DiSturla, Shana J.Mezzenga, Raffaele2025-05-01T05:20:50Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/301007Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestrepositoriounesp@unesp.bropendoar:29462025-05-01T05:20:50Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
