Background:

Drug delivery systems are crucial for targeted cancer therapy.
Temperature-responsive polymers offer potential for controlled drug release.
Hyaluronic acid is known for its specific interaction with CD44 receptors on tumor cells.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and characterize novel core-shell nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery.
To investigate the temperature-induced structural changes and their effect on drug release.
To evaluate the efficacy of these nanoparticles in delivering anticancer drugs to colon adenocarcinoma cells.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and hyaluronic acid core-shell nanoparticles.
Characterization of nanoparticle structure and temperature-responsive behavior.
In vitro evaluation of nanoparticle uptake, drug release, and cytotoxicity in colon adenocarcinoma cells and fibroblasts.

Main Results:

Nanoparticles exhibit a core-shell rearrangement around 35 °C, with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) forming the core and hyaluronic acid forming the shell.
Hyaluronic acid facilitates active targeting of tumor cells via CD44 receptor interaction.
Doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles showed a 2-fold increase in cytotoxic effect on colon adenocarcinoma cells compared to healthy fibroblasts.

Conclusions:

The developed core-shell nanoparticles demonstrate effective temperature-triggered structural changes for drug delivery.
Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in specific tumor cell targeting and drug release.
These nanoparticles show significant potential for enhancing the efficacy of anticancer drugs in colon adenocarcinoma treatment.
