A drug delivery system has been developed to effectively deliver HDAC inhibitors to latent HIV-infected cells. This system utilizes oxygen-containing nanosomes as drug carriers, which improve chemotherapy efficiency and have unique advantages for drug delivery. Enhanced targeting capability is achieved through the introduction of CXCR4 binding peptides to specifically target CD4(+) T cells, reducing drug toxicity and controlling drug release.
The treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is notoriously difficult due to the ability of this virus to remain latent in the host's CD4(+) T cells. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) interfere with DNA transcription in HIV-infected hosts, resulting in viral latency. Therefore, HDAC inhibitors can be used to activate viral transcription in latently infected cells, after which the virus can be eliminated through a shock-and-kill strategy. Here, a drug delivery system is developed to effectively deliver HDAC inhibitors to latent HIV-infected cells. Given that the efficacy of HDAC inhibitors is reduced under hypoxic conditions, oxygen-containing nanosomes are used as drug carriers. Oxygen-containing nanosomes can improve the efficiency of chemotherapy by delivering essential oxygen to cells. Additionally, their phospholipid bilayer structure makes them uniquely well-suited for drug delivery. In this study, a novel drug delivery system is developed by taking advantage of the oxygen carriers in these oxygen nanosomes, incorporating a multi-drug strategy consisting of HDAC inhibitors and PKA activators, and introducing CXCR4 binding peptides to specifically target CD4(+) T cells. Oxygen nanosomes with enhanced targeting capability through the introduction of the CXCR4 binding peptide mitigate drug toxicity and slow down drug release. The observed changes in the expression of p24, a capsid protein of HIV, indirectly confirm that the proposed drug delivery system can effectively induce transcriptional reactivation of HIV in latent HIV-infected cells.
