Targeted Nanoparticle for Co ‐delivery of HER2 siRNA and a Taxane to Mirror the Standard Treatment of HER2+ Breast Cancer: Efficacy in Breast Tumor and Brain Metastasis (Small 11/2022)
Breast Cancer TreatmentIn article number2107550, Wassana Yantasee and co-workers develop polymer-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles for HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. This patented versatile platform can co-deliver multiple therapeutic classes to ensure that they reach the target cells at the same time to fully realize their synergy. Illustrated herein are nanoparticles with three drug cargos: HER2 antibody, HER2 siRNA, and chemotherapeutic docetaxel.

Targeted Nanoparticle for Co ‐delivery of HER2 siRNA and a Taxane to Mirror the Standard Treatment of HER2+ Breast Cancer: Efficacy in Breast Tumor and Brain Metastasis
This research paper describes a new therapeutic candidate based on a nanoparticle that co-delivers siRNA against human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2), trastuzumab, and docetaxel to treat advanced HER2+ breast cancer. The nanotherapeutic is more effective and safer than the free drug counterparts. It inhibits drug-resistant orthotopic and brain-metastatic HER2+ breast tumors in mice. AbstractThe first-line treatment of advanced and metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2+) breast cancer requires two HER2-targeting antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) and a taxane (docetaxel or pacli...

Cooperative Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer Using Host–Guest Nanoplatform Coloaded with Docetaxel and siRNA
Conventional chemotherapy shows moderate efficiency against metastatic cancer since it targets only part of the mechanisms regulating tumor growth and metastasis. Here, gold nanorod (GNR)‐based host‐guest nanoplatforms loaded with docetaxel (DTX) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)‐p65 (referred to as DTX‐loaded GNR (GDTX)/p65) for chemo‐, RNA interference (RNAi), and photothermal ablation (PTA) cooperative treatment of metastatic breast cancer are reported. To prepare the nanoplatform, GNRs are first coated with cyclodextrin (CD)‐grafted polyethylenimine (PEI) and then loaded with DTX and siRNA through host–gu...
