Abstract

Aim: To developnanocarriers for targeting thedelivery of chemotherapeutics to overcome multidrug-resistantovarian cancer. Materials & methods: Doxorubicin-loaded nanovesicles were obtained through serial extrusion, followed by loading of P-glycoprotein siRNA and folic acid. The targeting ability and anticancer efficacy of the nanovesicles were evaluated. Results: The doxorubicin-loaded nanovesicles showed a high production yield. The presence of P-glycoprotein siRNA and folic acid resulted in reversed drug resistance and tumor targeting. This nanoplatform tremendously inhibited the viability of multidrug-resistantovarian cancer cells, which was able totarget tumor tissue and suppress tumor growth without adverse effects. Conclusion: These bioengineered nanovesicles could serve as novel extracellular vesicles mimetics for chemotherapeutics delivery to overcome multidrug resistance.
