Synergistic effect study on the co-delivery of paclitaxel and SiRNA targeting STMN1 based on MPDA nanoparticles in the therapy of ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ovarian cancer is one of the most prevalent gynecologic malignancies and ranks as a leading cause of death in female cancers. Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment modality, however, the development of chemoresistance poses a significant obstacle in ovarian cancer therapy, contributing to its high mortality rate.

Results

In this paper, we report a multifunctional nanoparticle that enables laser-controlled release of co-loaded paclitaxel (PTX) and STMN1 siRNA for synergistic combination therapy. This nanoparticle can improve the microtubule stability by interfering the expression of STMN1, thereby increasing the sensitivity to PTX, blocking cells in the G2/M phase, and ultimately leading to cancer cell death. Additionally, it exhibits enhanced bioavailability,
