Abstract
Given the profound multiple myeloma (MM) heterogeneity in clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells (PCs) and anti-MM therapeutic potential of nanotherapies, it is inevitable to develop treatment plan for patients with MM. Two composite nanoparticles (NPs), As4S4/Fe3O4 (4:1) and As4S4/Fe3O4 (1:1) demonstrated effective anti-MM activity in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo in xenograft mouse model. Composite NPs triggered activation of p-ERK1/2/p-JNK, and downregulation of c-Myc, p-PI3K, p-4E-BP1; G2/M cell cycle arrest with increase in cyclin B1, histones H2AX/H3, activation of p-ATR, p-Chk1/p-Chk2, p-H2AX/p-H3; and caspase- and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis induction. NPs attenuated the stem cell-like side population in MM cells, both alone and in the presence of stroma. For a higher clinical response rate, As4S4/Fe3O4 (4:1) observed synergism with dexamethasone and melphalan, while As4S4/Fe3O4 (1:1) showed synergistic effects in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide and pomalidomide anti-MM agents, providing the framework for further clinical evaluation of composite NPs in MM.
