Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) significantly decreases the therapeutic efficiency of anti-cancer drugs. Its reversal could serve as a potential method to restore the chemotherapn>eutic efficiency. Downregulation of MDR-related proteins with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising way to reverse the MDR effect. Additionally, delivery of small molecule therapn>eutics simultaneously with siRNA can enhance the efficiency of chemotherapn>y by dual action in MDR cell lines. Here, we conjugated the dendrimer, generation 4 polyamidoamine (G4 PAMAM), with a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-phospholipid copolymer. The amphiphilic conjugates obtained spontaneously self-assembled into a micellar nano-preparation, which can be co-loaded with siRNA onto PAMAM moieties and sparingly water-soluble chemotherapeutics into the lipid hydrophobic core. This system was co-loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and therapeutic siRNA (siMDR-1) and tested for cytotoxicity against MDR cancer cells: human ovarian carcinoma (A2780 ADR) and breast cancer (MCF7 ADR). The combination nanopreparation effectively downregulated P-gp in MDR cancer cells and reversed the resistance towards DOX.Entities:
