ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effects of the amphiphilic block polymers, which have the same hydrophilic block with the different hydrophobic block, on the function of P-glycoprotein(P-gp).METHODS:
The three different micelles were prepared by film dispersion method. The particle sizes and distributions were measured by dynamic light scattering. Critical micelle concentrations(CMC) were detected by fluorescence probe technique with the pyrene. Rhodamine 123, a specific probe substrate of P-gp, was applied to determine the effects of polymers on the function of P-gp using uptake and efflux method.RESULTS:
The particle sizes of mPEG-PCL, mPEG-PDLLA, mPEG-PLGA were (55.9±0.2), (53.7±1.1) and (61.6±0.6)nm. The CMC values were 2.08, 5.42 and 26.4 μg·mL-1. R123 accumulation in Madin-Darby canine kidney/multidrug resistance 1(MDCK-MDR1)cell detected by uptake assay increased to a maximum in the presence of polymers at concentrations of 250 μg·mL-1 for mPEG-PCL, 1~25 μg·mL-1 for mPEG-PDLLA and mPEG-PLGA. In efflux assay, mPEG-PCL, mPEG-PDLLA, mPEG-PLGA decreased the percentage of efflux of R123 at concentrations above the CMC, below/at the CMC or below the CMC respectively, showed the similar RESULTS with uptake assay.CONCLUSION:
The mPEG-PCL, mPEG-PDLLA, mPEG-PLGA polymers might have a potential to inhibit the efflux activity of P-gp, which was likely related to the structures of hydrophobic segments, concentrations and existing states of the polymers.
