Abstract

Doxorubicin (dox)is one of the first-line drug in osteosarcoma treatment but its effectiveness is limited by the efflux pump P-glycoprotein (Pgp)and by the onset of cardiotoxicity. We previously demonstrated that synthetic doxs conjugated with a H 2 S-releasing moiety (Sdox)were less cardiotoxic and more effective than dox against Pgp-overexpressing osteosarcoma cells. In order to increase the active delivery to tumor cells, we produced hyaluronic acid (HA)-conjugated liposomes containing Sdox (HA-Lsdox), exploiting the abundance of the HA receptor CD44 in osteosarcoma. HA-Lsdox showed favorable drug-release profile and higher toxicity in vitro and in vivo than dox or the FDA-approved liposomal dox Caelyx ® against Pgp-overexpressing osteosarcoma, displaying the same cardiotoxicity profile of Caelyx ® . Differently from dox, HA-Lsdox delivered the drug within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), inducing protein sulfhydration and ubiquitination, and activating a ER stress pro-apoptotic response mediated by CHOP. HA-Lsdox also sulfhydrated the nascent Pgp in the ER, reducing its activity. We propose HA-Lsdox as an innovative tool noteworthy to be tested in Pgp-overexpressing patients, who are frequently less responsive to standard treatments in which dox is one of the most important drugs.
