Synergistic Enhancement of Lung Cancer Therapy Through Nanocarrier‐Mediated Sequential Delivery of Superantigen and Tyrosin Kinase Inhibitor

Abstract: Gefitinib (GFT) and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been widely used for the treatment of advanced or metastatic lung cancer due to their reduced side effects when compared to classic cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. However, both intrinsic and acquired resistance often hinders the effectiveness of TKIs. Based on recent findings that the outcome of chemotherapy can be influenced by the host immune system at multiple levels, an exploration of whether activating antitumor immunity improves the eff… Show more

“…11,99101 As the liposomes constituted a structural component of the hybrid hydrogels, we anticipated that the multicomponent network would offer opportunities for dual encapsulation and differential release of multiple therapeutic cargo molecules. To examine the potential suitability of these hybrid hydrogels for such applications, cytochrome c, a small mitochondrial protein (~12 kDa) that can initiate an apoptotic cascade leading to programmed cell death upon cytoplasmic release, 102105 was chosen as a second therapeutic molecule.…”

“…The other strategy to achieve programmed release of the combined drugs is through multiple intravenous injections of single‐drug loaded nanoparticles at different times. Sequential treatment through this strategy revealed a synergistic effect on tumor inhibition, however, the strategy caused inconvenience in the treatment process and the limitations of intravenous injection still existed …”

“…For example, Huang et al [136] designed a computational tool that can be used to predict synergistic drug combinations based on network analysis of genomic profiles of both drugs and cancers. In addition, the scheduling of drug administration in terms of timing and dose in the temporal combination of drugs profoundly influences therapeutic efficacy [141, 142]. In the future, computational modeling is anticipated to facilitate the design of the temporal combination of drugs and to optimize the scheduling of drug administration for improving treatment efficacy.…”
