Doxorubicin-Loaded Nanoparticle Treatment Enhances Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Cell Death

Drug resistance remains a major obstacle in cancer treatment despite advances in therapeutic regimens. To address this, we explored the potential of Doxorubicin (Dox) delivery in poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to enhance Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell death. This research investigates the potential of Doxorubicin and advanced delivery methods. We used PLGA nanoparticles with Oleyl cysteineamide (OCA); its amphiphilic nature enables interfacial anchoring and thiol surface functionalization of PLGA NPs. Compared to PLGA-NPs, PLGA-OCA-NPs enhance immunity and induce tumor cell death. They also show significant apoptotic cell death and induced immune responses in DLBCL mouse models. Dox-conjugated PLGA-OCA-NPs (DOX-OCA) exhibit significant in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity compared to free DOX, showing remarkable antitumor effects with reduced systemic toxicity in mouse models. Our findings underscore the promising potential of PLGA-OCA-NPs in DLBCL treatment, offering a hopeful future in cancer therapy. This innovative delivery system offers enhanced immune responses and effectively addresses toxicity concerns, marking a significant step forward in cancer therapy.
