Abstract

Tumor stromal cells significantly contribute to tumor growth and abundantly express platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor (PDGF-βR). In this study, we targeted stromal as well as tumor cells using our PDGF-βR binding carrier (pPB-HSA). pPB-HSA showed PDGF-βR-specific binding in-vitro and, in-vivo it rapidly accumulated in C26 tumors in mice after i.v. injection. We conjugated doxorubicin to pPB-HSA and, the conjugate showed antitumor effects in-vitro in tumor and stromal cells and in-vivo in C26-tumor bearing mice.
