MYC RNAi-Pt Combination Nanotherapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer Treatment

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to develop an innovative nanotherapy modality by combining platinum (Pt) chemotherapy and MYC-targeting RNA interference (RNAi) for more effective treatment of metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Over the entire period of this project, we made significant accomplishments in each of the proposed tasks. We successfully developed, characterized, and optimized a reduction responsive nanoparticle (NP) platform for effective delivery of siRNA and cisplatin prodrug. The siMYC NPs and siMYC-Pt NPs were extensively tested in vitro using different PCa cell lines including Pt-resistant cells, and the combination nanotherapy showed potent antitumor efficacy in subcutaneously xenografted PCa mouse model without obvious in vivo toxicities.
