Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious cancers with poor therapeutic results and prognosis. In here, we proposed a novel treatment strategy of pancreatic cancer by injuring limited angiogenic vessels with liposome containing adriamycin. At first, we established an orthotopic tumor model, which has a hypovascular characteristic of pancreatic tumor. In this model, we obtained the enhanced therapeutic efficacy with liposome that modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a peptide, Ala-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly (APRPG), having an affinity to neovessels. Histochemical analysis suggested the degradation of angiogenic vessels after treatment with APRPG-PEG-liposomal adriamycin. In addition, we observed colocalization of fluorescence-labeled APRPG-PEG-liposome with angiogenic endothelial cells, although the biodistribution of H-3-labeled liposome did not show the difference in the amount of accumulation between PEG-modified liposome and APRPG-PEG-i-nodified liposome. These results suggested the availability of the anti-neovascular therapy against pancreatic cancer and supply a new sight indication on chemotherapeutics against pancreatic cancer.
