Hyaluronic Acid-Modified Nanoparticles Self-Assembled from Linoleic Acid-Conjugated Chitosan for the Codelivery of miR34a and Doxorubicin in Resistant Breast Cancer
In this study, a chitosan-based, self-assembled nanosystem that codelivered microRNA34a (miR34a) and doxorubicin (Dox) with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification (named CCmDH NPs) was developed to reverse the resistance of breast cancer (BCa) cells to Dox. The CCmDH NPs had a diameter of 180 ± 8.3 nm and a ζ potential of 16.5 mV with a slow-release effect for 96 h. The codelivery system could protect miR34a from nuclease and serum degradation and transport miR34a and Dox into drug-resistant MCF-7/A cells. In addition, the CCmDH NPs could inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis by regulating the protein expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and inhibit invasion, metastasis, and adhesion by regulating E-cadherin, N-cadherin, MMP2, CD44, and Snail molecules. The CCmDH NPs induced a 73.7% tumor reduction in xenograft tumor growth in nude mice in vivo. This study provides evidence for the anticancer activity of CCmDH NPs carrying Dox and miR34a in BCa, especially metastatic Dox-resistant BCa models.
