Abstract
A novel polyelectrolyte nanocarrier was synthesized via layer-by-layer self-assembly of polycationic and polyanionic chains. The nanocarrier is composed of polyglutamate grafted chitosan core, dextran sulfate as a complexing agent, and polyethyleneimine shell decorated with folic acid. This polyelectrolyte complex has unique physicochemical properties so that the core is considered as an efficient carrier for LTX-315 and melittin peptides, and the shell is suitable for delivery of miR-34a. The spherical nanocarriers with an average size of 123 ± 5 nm and a zeta potential of −36 ± 1 mV demonstrated controlled-release of gene and peptides ensured a synergistic effect in establishing multiple cell death pathways on chemoresistance human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MDA-MB-231. In vitro cell viability assays also revealed no cytotoxicity for the nanocarriers, and an IC50 of 15 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL for melittin and LTX-315, respectively, after 48 h, whereas co-delivery of melittin with miR-34a increased smart death induction by 54%. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.Iran's National Elites Foundation (INEF
