Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to revolutionize the treatment of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), notorious for its resistance to standard therapies. By ingeniously combining Tamoxifen (TMX) and Docetaxel (DTX) within a lipid-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (LP-MSN) delivery system, we intend to enhance therapeutic efficacy while circumventing DTX resistance mediated by CYP3A4 expression. MethodsWe rigorously tested TNBC cell lines to confirm the responsiveness to Docetaxel (DTX) and Tamoxifen (TMX). We adeptly engineered LP-MSN nanoparticles and conducted a thorough examination of the optimal drug release strategy, evaluating the LP-MSN system's ability to mitigate the impact of CYP3A4 on DTX. Additionally, we comprehensively analyzed its pharmacological performance. ResultsOur innovative approach utilizing TMX and DTX within LP-MSN showcased remarkable efficacy. Sequential drug release from the lipid layer and mesoporous core curbed CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, substantially enhancing cytotoxic effects on TNBC cells without harming normal cells. ConclusionThis pioneering research introduces a breakthrough strategy for tackling TNBC. By capitalizing on synergistic TMX and DTX effects via LP-MSN, we surmount drug resistance mediated by CYP3A4. This advancement holds immense potential for transforming TNBC treatment, warranting further clinical validation.
