Abstract The development of effective and safe vehicles to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) and chemotherapeutics remains a major challenge in RNA interference-based combination therapy with chemotherapeutics, which has emerged as a powerful platform to treat drug-resistant cancer cells. Herein, we describe the development of novel all-in-one fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs)-based nanomedicine platform for imaging-guided co-delivery of siRNA and doxorubicin (DOX). This approach enhanced therapeutic efficacy in multidrug-resistant breast cancer cells (i.e., MCF-7/ADR cells). Typically, the SiNP-based nanocarriers enhanced the stability of siRNA in a biological environment (i.e., medium or RNase A) and imparted the responsive release behavior of siRNA, resulting in approximately 80% down-regulation of P-glycoprotein expression. Co-delivery of P-glycoprotein siRNA and DOX led to > 35-fold decrease in the half maximal inhibitory concentration of DOX in comparison with free DOX, indicating the pronounced therapeutic efficiency of the resultant nanocomposites for drug-resistant breast cancer cells. The intracellular time-dependent release behaviors of siRNA and DOX were revealed through tracking the strong and stable fluorescence of SiNPs. These data provide valuable information for designing effective RNA interference-based co-delivery carriers.

621 Background: HER2 overexpression in breast cancer confers increased tumor aggressiveness. Targeted therapy against HER2 has improved outcomes, but resistance and disease progression ultimately occurs, thus necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. PARP inhibitors target homologous recombination (HR) deficient tumors, such as the BRCA-associated breast and ovarian cancers. In this study, we report unexpected susceptibility of HER2+ breast cancer cells to PARP inhibition alone independent of an inherent HR deficiency. Methods: Cell viability was measured using colony formation and ATPLite assays. Tumor growth delay was assessed in vivo in mice bearing breast cancer xenografts. Proteins were detected by immunoblotting. HR was assayed using radiation (IR)-induced Rad51 foci or a GFP-based HR assay. NFκB activity was measured using a NFκB-driven luciferase assay. Results: Surprisingly, PARP inhibition with ABT-888 alone reduced the colony forming ability and cell viability of the HER2+ breast cancer cell lines BT474, SKBR3, MDA-MB361, and HCC1954 (~70 – 99% reduction at 10μM). This susceptibility did not correlate with an inherent HR deficit. Interestingly, HER2 overexpression itself may be one mechanism of susceptibility to ABT-888 as evidenced by increased cellular cytotoxicity and in vivo tumor growth delay of MCF7 cells stably expressing HER2. Further dissection of the mechanism revealed that NFκB transcriptional activity was significantly inhibited by ABT-888 (>95%) which corresponded with reduced levels of phosphorylated p65 and total IKKα, and a concomitant increase in IkBα. Furthermore, overexpression of p65 abrogated cellular sensitivity to ABT-888. Conclusions: HER2+ breast cancer cells are highly susceptible to PARP inhibition despite being HR proficient. This may be, in part, due to inhibition of NFκB. Further investigation of whether the addition of PARP inhibition to HER2 targeted therapy will delay the onset of resistance to therapy is warranted to potentially improve outcomes in HER2+ breast cancer patients.
