As the fourth leading cause of cancer death, hepatocellular carcinoma, its clinical treatment by chemotherapy is not satisfactory.Encapsulation of drugs within nanocarriers that selectively target hepatocellular carcinoma cells based on molecular oncology are constantly being developed recent years.Here, in order to mitigate side effects and enhance hepatic cancer cellular uptake, we deliver doxorubicin (DOX) by a tumor targeting peptide modified micelles with small size (13.0±0.8nm) and high encapsulation efficiencies (98.0%±1.0%).SP94 (SFSIIHTPILPLGGC) conjugate onto the surface of DOX encapsulated micelles exhibit greater affinity to human hepatocellular carcinoma than to A549, A2780 or MCF7cells in vitro.Compared with free DOX, the drug loaded micelles significantly prolonged the half-life of DOX (t1/2=51.3±0.5h) and inhibited tumor growth in vivo.The specific nanocarriers have great potential in the development of nanomedicine for hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and therapy.
