Abstract
We recently developed a small molecule inhibitor SMI#9 for Rad6, a protein overexpressed in aggressive breast cancers and involved in DNA damage tolerance. SMI#9 induces cytotoxicity in cancerous cells but spares normal breast cells; however, its therapeutic efficacy is limited by poor solubility. Here we chemically modified SMI#9 to enable its conjugation and hydrolysis from gold nanoparticle (GNP). SMI#9-GNP and parent SMI#9 activities were compared in mesenchymal and basal triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype cells. Whereas SMI#9 is cytotoxic to all TNBC cells, SMI#9-GNP is endocytosed and cytotoxic only in mesenchymal TNBC cells. SMI#9-GNP endocytosis in basal TNBCs is compromised by aggregation. However, when combined with cisplatin, SMI#9-GNP is imported and synergistically increases cisplatin sensitivity. Like SMI#9, SMI#9-GNP spares normal breast cells. The released SMI#9 is active and induces cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction and PARP-1 stabilization/hyperactivation. This work signifies the development of a nanotechnology-based Rad6-targeting therapy for TNBCs.
