In this study, cationic nanostructured lipid carriers（cNLC） for co-loading anionic small-interfering RNAs（siRNA） and chemotherapeutic docetaxel（DTX） were prepared from different cationic lipids based on particle distribution and loading efficiency. In order to increase the cNLC＇s positive targeting capacity, a novel peptide SP94 was bound to the surface of cNLC（SP94-cNLC）. The cNLC showed good efficiency in loading siRNA and DTX. The SP94-cNLC revealed a better cytotoxicity compared with cNLC and Taxotere？, indicating that SP94 could successfully enhance the internalization capacity of nanoparticles to the liver cancer cells. This new type of cNLC is a potential vehicle when using in co-delivery of chemotherapeutics and siRNAs. The curcumin（CUR）/DTX co-delivery NLC could load both CUR and DTX in high efficiency and showed a sensibilization to DTX chemotherapy. The sensibilization was more obvious when it was used in the aggressive and resistant cancer cells. This CUR/DTX co-delivery system had good potential in treating cancer cells when chemotherapy drug showed little effect alone.展开更多
