Choline Phosphate Lipid Insertion And Rigidification Of Cell Membranes For Targeted Cancer Chemo-Immunotherapy

To prevent tumor reproduction and metastasis, a method to modify the membranes of cancer cells was designed to suppress their vitality. A phosphatidyl choline reversed choline phosphate lipid (CP-Lip) was synthesized and modified with a PD-L1 antibody (CP-alpha PDL). Drug-loaded nanoparticles of CP-Lip/CP-alpha PDL (Dox@tCP-Lipos) could be selectively attached to melanoma cells, thus causing CP-Lip to be inserted and to interact strongly with the cell membrane, which largely reduced the fluidity and functionality of the membrane. As a result, the metabolism, reproduction, and migration of melanoma cells were proved to be weakened by CP-Lip and the tumor was 100% suppressed after treatment with Dox@tCP-Lipos.
