Trypsin has been entrapped within liposomes prepared from egg yolk phospholipides by the method of controlled dialysis, and the hydrolysis kinetics of Nα-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroaniline catalyzed by the liposome-entrapped trypsin has been studied by monitoring the flux of substrate and product across the liposomal membrane. The partitioning of the substrate and product between liposomal and extraliposomal environment has been found to represent the main factor in the kinetic control of the hydrolysis.

Abundant desmoplastic stroma is the hallmark for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which not only aggravates the tumor growth but also prevents tumor penetration of chemotherapy, leading to treatment failure. There is an unmet clinical need to develop therapeutic solutions to the tumor penetration problem. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of integrin α5 (ITGA5) receptor in the PDAC stroma. ITGA5 was overexpressed in the tumor stroma from PDAC patient samples, and overexpression was inversely correlated with overall survival. In vitro, knockdown of ITGA5 inhibited differentiation of human pancreatic stellate cells (hPSCs) and reduced desmoplasia in vivo. Our novel peptidomimetic AV3 against ITGA5 inhibited hPSC activation and enhanced the antitumor effect of gemcitabine in a 3D heterospheroid model. In vivo, AV3 showed a strong reduction of desmoplasia, leading to decompression of blood vasculature, enhanced tumor perfusion, and thereby the efficacy of gemcitabine in co-injection and patient-derived xenograft tumor models.
