Synthesis of a novel CS-g-MMCs conjugate and the inhabitation on the proliferation of Tenon's capsule fibroblasts in vitro.
European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences(2012)
摘要
A novel anti-proliferative macromolecular conjugate, CS-g-MMCs, was synthesized in order to decrease the cytotoxicity of Mitomycin C (MMC) which was a traditional anti-proliferative agent of fibroblast in trabeculectomy. The structure of CS-g-MMCs was characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and GPC analysis. The grafting degree (dg) of MMC onto chitosan (CS) was determined to be in the range of 2.8–11.3%, which could be controlled by variation of the molar ratios of MMC to oxidized chitosan (CS-CHO). In the drug release profiles of CS-g-MMCs in vitro, an initial burst followed by slow leakage was observed, and addition of acid or lysozyme obviously accelerated the MMC release. The MTS assay indicated that CS-CHO of 8mg/ml has no cytotoxicity against human Tenon’s capsule fibroblasts (HTCFs). The inhibition of HTCFs proliferation by CS-g-MMCs increased along with increasing the dg of conjugate. The CS-g-MMCs also caused the apoptosis of HTCFs and interfered in the active DNA synthesis in HTCFs. Furthermore, the expression of a-SMA at gene and protein levels were obviously lower when HTCFs were treated with CS-g-MMCs, as compared to MMC or blend of MMC/CS-CHO (p<0.05). Our results primarily demonstrated that the CS-g-MMCs conjugates have low cytotoxicity and have the effect to inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
