Abstract: Nanoscale micelles of poly(ethylene)-b-poly(lactic acid)/paclitexal conjugate(PEG-PLA/PTX) were prepared and their interaction with rat brain glioma C6 cells was examined by MTT, electron microscopy, flow cytometry(FCM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM). The results show that the copolymer/paclitaxel conjugate micelles can enter the cell, and are distributed in cytoplasm. The paclitaxel can be released from the conjugate micelles and react with the genes in the cell nuclei, causing changes in the gene molecules, and thus, leading to changes in growth cycle of the cells, resulting in G2-M cell cycle arrest and inducing apoptosis of C6 cells. Therefore, PEG-PLA/PTX micelles may be used in chemotherapy of brain glioma.
