Objective To explore the extraction process and characterization of rhizome Chinese medicine Glycyrrhiza uralensis derived exosome-like nanovesicles (GELNs), and investigate their inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Methods Based on the properties of rhizome-type traditional Chinese medicinal materials, the preferred processing methods and extraction techniques were selected, GELNs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nano-flow cytometry (NanoFCM), lipidomics and proteomics to analyze physicochemical properties and composition. The antitumor effects of GELNs against mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells were assessed through cellular uptake, proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) tube formation assays was used to evaluate anti-angiogenic activity. Results GELNs were extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis method and differential centrifugation. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and NanoFCM were used to determine the particle size distribution, which were (79.00 ± 25.60) and (69.80 ± 19.70) nm, respectively. The proportion of phospholipid bilayer membrane structure was 75.20%; Proteins and lipids in GELNs were identified and quantified, Lipidomics identified a total of 29 lipid class, among which triglycerides accounted for the highest proportion. Proteomics quantified 38 proteins and conducted relevant functional predictions; 4T1 and HUVEC cells could efficiently uptake GELNs, and the uptake results were dose-dependent, mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of cells; GELNs could effectively inhibit the proliferation of 4T1 cells and induce programmed apoptosis of 4T1 cells; GELNs could effectively inhibit the in vitro tube formation of HUVECs and exhibit a dose-dependent effect. Conclusion The extraction process and structural composition of GELNs were studied, and their uptake ability in 4T1 and HUVEC cells, effects of cell proliferation, apoptosis promotion and angiogenesis were preliminarily investigated. It is suggested that GELNs are a natural source active substance with anti-breast cancer potential.
