The co-delivery of a drug and a target gene has become a primary strategy in cancer therapy. Based on our previous study, a synthesized star-shaped co-polymer consisting of beta-cyclodextrin (CD) and a poly(L-lysine) dendron (PLLD) was used to co-deliver docetaxel (DOC) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) small interfering RNA, via CD-PLLD/DOC/MMP-9 complexes, into mice implanted with HNE-1 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumor cells in vivo. Unlike the commonly used amphiphilic co-polymer micelles, the obtained CD derivative may be used directly for a combined delivery of nucleic acid and hydrophobic DOC without a complicated micellization process. In vivo assays demonstrated that CD-PLLD/DOC/MMP-9 inhibited HNE-1 tumor growth and decreased proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression levels, indicating a potential strategy for NPC therapy. In addition, the distribution of DOC and MMP-9 was investigated; CD-PLLD/DOC/MMP-9 complexes were phagocytized in reticuloendothelial systems, including the liver and spleen, which requires further study. Furthermore, the complexes did not cross the blood-brain barrier due to their large molecular size, suggesting they may be relatively safe. Additionally, the complexes mediated increased DOC concentrations with prolonged blood circulation and EGFP expression in HNE-1 tumors. These results suggest the future potential application of CD-PLLD/DOC/MMP-9 for NPC therapy.
