Résumé

Recently, it has been shown that the efficiency of antitumoral drugs can be enhanced when combined with therapeutic siRNAs. In the present study, an original platform based on polydiacetylenic micelles containing a cationic head group able to efficiently deliver a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the PLK-1 gene while offering a hydrophobic environment for encapsulation of lipophilic drugs such as camptothecin is developed. We demonstrate that the co-delivery of these two agents with our micellar system results in a synergistic tumor cell killing of cervical and breast cancer cell lines . The combined drugs are active in a subcutaneous cancer model. Altogether, the results show that our nanometric micellar delivery system can be used for the development of new drug-siRNA combo-therapies.
