In this Letter, we present a concise strategy to prepare a conjugate of the tumor homing peptide iRGD and histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid, VPA-GFLG-iRGD. The conjugate VPA-GFLG-iRGD and a mixture of VPA and GFLG-iRGD have shown similar cytotoxicity against DU-145 prostate cancer cells. However, the treatment of DU-145 cells with conjugate VPA-GFLG-iRGD resulted in a decreased percentage of cells in the G2 phase, whereas the exposure of a mixture of VPA and GFLG-iRGD led to an increased percentage of cells in the G2 phase. We also found that GFLG-iRGD possessed cytotoxicity at the tested concentrations.
在这封信件中,我们提出了一种简洁的策略来制备肿瘤归巢肽 iRGD 和组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂丙戊酸的缀合物,VPA-GFLG-iRGD。缀合物 VPA-GFLG-iRGD 和 VPA 与 GFLG-iRGD 的混合物对 DU-145 前列腺癌细胞表现出相似的细胞毒性。然而,用缀合物 VPA-GFLG-iRGD 处理 DU-145 细胞导致 G2 期细胞的百分比降低,而暴露于 VPA 和 GFLG-iRGD 的混合物导致 G2 期细胞的百分比增加。我们还发现,在测试浓度下,GFLG-iRGD 具有细胞毒性。
