Platinum resistance in ovarian cancer is the major determinant of disease prognosis. Resistance can first appear at the onset of disease or develop in response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Due to poor response to alternate chemotherapies and lack of targeted therapies, there is an urgent clinical need for a new avenue toward treatment of platinum-resistant (PR) ovarian cancer. Nanoscale delivery systems hold potential to overcome resistance mechanisms. In this work, we present tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as a nanocarrier for cisplatin for treatment of PR ovarian cancer cells. The TMV-cisplatin conjugate (TMV-cisPt) was synthesized using a charge-driven reaction that, like a classic click reaction, is simple and reliable for large-scale production. Up to similar to 1900 cisPt were loaded per TMV-cisPt with biphasic release profiles characterized by a fast half-life (t(1)) of similar to 1 h and slow half-life (t(2)) of similar to 12 h independent of pH. Efficient cell uptake of TMV was observed when incubated with ovarian cancer cells, and TMV-cisPt demonstrated superior cytotoxicity and DNA double strand breakage (DSB) in platinum-sensitive (PS) and PR cancer cells when compared to free cisplatin. The cytotoxicity in PR ovarian cancer cells and overall lower effective dosage requirement makes TMV-cisPt a powerful candidate for improved ovarian cancer treatment strategies.
