ABSTRACT
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive BC subtype with a higher metastatic rate and a worse 5-year survival ratio than the other BC. It is an urgent need to develop a noninvasive treatment with high efficiency to resist TNBC cell proliferation and invasion. Internal wireless electric stimulation (ES) based on piezoelectric materials is an emerging noninvasive strategy, with adjustable ES intensity and excellent biosafety. In this study, three different barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs) with different crystal phases and piezoelectric properties were studied. Varying intensities of internal ES were generated from the three BTNPs (i.e., BTO, U-BTO, P-BTO). In vitro tests revealed that the internal ES from BTNPs was efficient at reducing the proliferative potential of cancer cells, particularly BC cells. In vitro experiments on MDA-MB-231, a typical TNBC cell line, further revealed that the internal wireless ES from BTNPs significantly inhibited cell growth and migration up to about 82% and 60%, respectively. In vivo evaluation of MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice indicated that internal ES not only resisted almost 70% tumor growth but also significantly inhibited lung metastasis. More importantly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated a favorable correlation between the anticancer impact and the intensities of ES. The underlying mechanism of MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation and metastasis inhibition caused by internal ES was also investigated. In summary, our results revealed the effect and mechanism of internal ES from piezoelectric nanoparticles on TNBC cell proliferation and migration regulation and proposed a promising noninvasive therapeutic strategy for TNBC with minimal side effects while exhibiting good therapeutic efficiency.
