Drug systems targeting tumor cells using basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF) have been widely reported. In this study, the peptide KRTGQYKLC ( bFGFp), containing cysteine at the carboxyl termination of the bFGF-derived peptide, was applied as a novel ligand targeting tumor cells. bFGFp was conjugated with bovine serum albumin ( BSA) and liposomes. The peptide was shown to inhibit the binding of bFGF to FGF receptor-1 (FGFR1). Interestingly, the binding study using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay revealed that the bFGFp-BSA was not bound to FGFR1, but was selectively bound to bFGF. Furthermore, the SPR assay showed that bFGFp-BSA is capable of binding to FGFR1 following the pretreatment with bFGF. The confocal microscopy study indicated that the uptake of bFGFp-BSA by NIH3T3 cells, which highly express FGFRs, was significantly enhanced by pretreatment with bFGF. Then, PEGylated liposomes containing bFGFp (bFGFp liposome) were prepared by conjugating maleimide- PEG- PE with bFGFp. Following the pretreatment of bFGF, the uptake of bFGFp-liposomes by NIH3T3 cells was significantly enhanced. These results suggest that bFGFp-BSA and bFGFp liposomes are taken by NIH3T3 cells via binding with bFGF. In addition, both bFGFp-BSA and bFGFp-liposomes had no effect on the proliferation of NIH3T3 cells. This strategy can be used as a novel system for targeting tumors highly expressing FGFRs without a proliferation effect.
