Receptor change induced by ligand binding is a new issue to face in the field of targeted delivery. Receptor clustering, the main pattern of receptor changes, decreases the affinity between ligand and receptor due to the redistribution of receptor position. In an attempt to respond to such challenge, we designed and constructed three RGD-modified nanocarriers with different ligand intervals: stealth liposomes modified with the monomeric RGD (moRGD-LP), dimeric RGD (diRGD-LP) and a special dimeric RGD with a linker between two cyclic RGD motifs (P-diRGD-LP). The alpha v beta 3-positive and -negative tumor cells (Melanoma B16 and MCF-7) were used as the cell models. As a result, P-diRGD-LP demonstrated strongest interaction with B16 cells in surface plasmon resonance study and highest cellular uptake in B16 cells in real-time confocal analysis. The enhanced endocytosis of P-diRGD-LP was found to be alpha v beta 3-mediated and P-diRGD-LP increased the involvement of the clathrin-dependent pathway. Importantly, P-diRGD-LP demonstrated the best targeting effect in B16-tumor bearing mice in both in vivo and ex vivo near-infrared fluorescent images, about 2.4-fold that of moRGD-LP and 2.8-fold that of diRGD-LP at 3 h. Further, we validated integrin alpha v beta 3 clustering on B16 cells via a single-molecule imaging by a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Finally, the 3D models of alpha v beta 3 clustering suggested a receptor interval within 41.916-65.779 angstrom, while the molecular computation revealed an RGD ligand interval of 20.944 angstrom, 42.753 angstrom and 78.196 angstrom for diRGD-LP, P-diRGD-LP and moRGD-LP, respectively, confirming the best matching between clustered alpha v beta 3 and P-diRGD-LP. In conclusion, P-diRGD-LP could achieve higher targeting to ow133-positive tumor via the enhanced interaction based on the better ligand-receptor compatibility. The design of targeted nanocarriers against receptor clustering might provide new insight into the nanotechnology-based anticancer therapy.(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
