摘要

The main goal of the present was to develop an anticancer scaffold based on chitosan nanoparticles (CsNPs) loaded with 5-FU against bone tumor. The synthesized Cs/5-FU NPs were incorporated into an alginate hydrogel to obtain a functional scaffold. The results showed that the Cs/5-FU NPs have spherical morphology with a 112.3 ± 34.1 nm diameter and have a hydrodynamic size of around 321.0 ± 11.2 nm and the zeta potential of NPs was 31.4 ± 8.1 mV. SEM imaging showed that both hydrogels have a porous micro structure and the pores are interconnected and were biodegradable (lost around 70–85% of their initial weight during 28 days). The MTT assay showed that the Nanocomposite suppressed the cells growth and significantly induced anticancer cells effects, and significantly suppressed the migration/invasion potential of the cells. The intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) measurement and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) measurement assay showed that the Nanocomposite elevated the intracellular ROS and disrupted the ΔΨm, and subsequently induced apoptosis. The results indicate that the fabricated anticancer scaffold can be applied as an implantable scaffold for controlled and localized drug delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to bone tumor cells.
