Purpose To investigate induction of cell death in Osteosarcoma (OS) using the anti-tuberculosis drug, rifampicin, loaded into exosomes. Patients and Methods BMSC-exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation and loaded ultrasonically with rifampicin. Nanoparticle exosome-rifampicin (EXO-RIF) was added to the OS cell-lines, 143B and MG63, in vitro, to observe the growth inhibitory effect. In vivo experiments were conducted by injecting fluorescently labeled EXO-RIF through the tail vein of 143B cell xenograft nude mice and tracking distribution. Therapeutic and toxic side-effects were analyzed systemically. Results Sonication resulted in encapsulation of rifampicin into exosomes. Exosome treatment accelerated the entry of rifampicin into OS cells and enhanced the actions of rifampicin in inhibiting OS proliferation, migration and invasion. Cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase was observed. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) was activated by EXO-RIF and caused mitochondrial lysis and apoptosis. Exosome treatment targeted rifampicin to the site of OS, causing OS apoptosis and improving mouse survival in vivo. Conclusion The potent Drp1 agonist, rifampicin, induced OS apoptosis and exosome loading, improving OS targeting and mouse survival rates. EXO-RIF is a promising strategy for the treatment of diverse malignancies.
