Transferrin-guided intelligent nanovesicles augment the targetability and potency of clinical PLK1 inhibitor to acute myeloid leukemia

Yifeng Xia et al.

Summary: This study found that transferrin-guided polymersomes (TPs) significantly enhance the targetability, potency, and safety of the PLK1 inhibitor volasertib (Vol) against acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Vol-loaded TPs (TPVol) exhibited the highest cellular uptake, effective down-regulation of p-PLK1, p-PTEN, and p-AKT, and superior apoptotic activity compared to free Vol in leukemic cells. TPVol showed 6-fold higher AUC and notable accumulation in AML-residing bone marrow after intravenous injection. In an orthotopic leukemic model, TPVol significantly reduced leukemic cell proportions in peripheral blood, bone marrow, liver, and spleen, enhanced mouse survival rate, and impeded bone loss. This transferrin-guided nano-delivery strategy appears to be an interesting approach for the development of novel treatments for AML.
