Overcoming Chemoresistance in Cancer via Combined MicroRNA Therapeutics with Anticancer Drugs Using Multifunctional Magnetic Core-Shell Nanoparticles

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces

Abstract

In this study, we report the use of a multifunctional magnetic core-shell nanoparticle (MCNP), composed of a highly magnetic zinc-doped iron oxide (ZnFe2O4) core nanoparticle and a biocompatible mesoporous silica (mSi) shell, for the simultaneous delivery of let-7a microRNA (miRNA) and anticancer drugs (e.g., doxorubicin) to overcome chemoresistance in breast cancer. Owing to the ability of let-7a to repress DNA repair mechanisms (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2) and downregulate drug efflux pumps (e.g., ABCG2), delivery of let-7a could sensitize chemoresistant breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) to subsequent doxorubicin chemotherapy both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the multifunctionality of our MCNPs allows for the monitoring of in vivo delivery via magnetic resonance imaging. In short, we have developed a multifunctional MCNP-based therapeutic approach to provide an attractive method with which to enhance our ability not only to deliver combined miRNA therapeutics with small-molecule drugs in both selective and effective manner but also to sensitize cancer cells for the enhanced treatment via the combination of miRNA replacement therapy using a single nanoplatform.
