Resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to systemic chemotherapy is partially due to presence of drug-resistant cancer stem cells. Bmi1 protein is essential for survival and proliferation of HCC cancer stem cells (CSCs). Here, we report that Bmi1 siRNA (Bmi1siR) loaded in cationic nanocapsules of cisplatin (NPC) eliminated stem cellsin situHCC in mice. NPC/Bmi1siR was fabricatedviaelectrostatic complexation of Bmi1 siRNA to NPCs, which had cores composed of cisplatin and were coated with cationic lipids.In vivo, NPC/Bmi1siR showed higher anti-tumor activity in HCC bearing mice compared with cisplatin or NPC. Critically, both flow cytometry (FACS) analysisin vitroand histological examinationin vivorevealed that side population or CD133+ HCC cells were dramatically decreased by NPC/Bmi1siR treatment, suggesting that HCC CSCs were eliminated. Altogether, our results suggest that drug resistance of HCC can be overcome by co-delivering Bmi1 siRNA with cisplatin in cationic nanocapsules.
