ABSTRACT
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is expressed in malignant and normal breast tissue, and its intermittent activation by multiple IGF-1 signaling pathways leads to neoplasm cell proliferation, impaired apoptosis, increased survival, and resistance to cytotoxic therapeutic agents. Therefore, simultaneous suppression of the receptor and its cognate ligand would be a powerful promising strategy inhibiting malignant phenotypes of breast cancer cells. In the present study, Methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) - Poly(caprolactone) was hybridized with Dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDAB) cationic lipid (mPEG-PCL-DDAB) nanoparticles (NPs) and used as a carrier for simultaneous delivery of lycopene and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor-specific lycopene encapsulated-mPEG-PCL-DDAB nanoparticle/siRNA to MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Then, the antitumor effects of this construct were evaluated in vitro. The results demonstrated that the synthesized mPEG-PCL-DDAB nanoparticle had suitable physicochemical properties. The use of mPEG-PCL-DDAB nanoparticle-loaded anti-insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor-siRNA and lycopene dramatically induced the process of apoptosis and arrested cell cycle in the MCF-7 tumor cell lines. In general, the findings of this study demonstrated the potency of mPEG-PCL-DDAB nanoparticles for dual delivery of siRNA, and lycopene in breast cancer cell lines followed the induction of apoptosis.
