Epigenetic modifications (e.g., DNA methylation or histone deacetylation) are commonly implicated in cancer chemoresistance. We previously showed that pretreating resistant MCF-7/ADR breast cancer cells with a demethylating agent (5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine; DAC) or with an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid; SAHA) sensitized resistant cells to doxorubicin (DOX) treatment. However, even with increasing doses of DOX, a fraction of resistant cells remained nonresponsive to this pretreatment (~25% pretreated with DAC, ~45% with SAHA). We hypothesized that pretreating resistant cells with a combination of epigenetic drugs (DAC + SAHA) could more effectively overcome drug resistance. We postulated that delivery of epigenetic drugs encapsulated in biodegradable nanogels (NGs) would further enhance their efficacy. MCF-7/ADR cells were first treated with a single drug vs. a combination of epigenetic drugs, either as solutions or encapsulated in NGs, then subjected to DOX, either in solution or in NGs. Antiproliferative data showed that pretreatment with epigenetic drugs in NGs, then with DOX in NGs, was most effective in overcoming resistance; this treatment inhibited cell growth by >90%, even at low doses of DOX. Cell-cycle analysis showed that a major fraction of cells treated with a cocktail of epigenetic drugs + DOX, all in NG formulations, remained in the G2/M cell-cycle arrest phase for a prolonged period. The mechanism of better efficacy of epigenetic drugs in NGs could be attributed to their sustained effect. A similar strategy could be developed for other cancer cells in which drug resistance is due to epigenetic modifications.
