The presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) is one of the main reasons that cause cancer relapse and metastasis. In this study, NF-kappa B shRNA was delivered to target CSCs using carbamate-mannose modified PEI (CMP) as a non-viral gene vector. The polymer was synthesized by blocking primary amine groups of branched PEI (10 kDa) through nucleophilic addition between PEI and protected mannose-functionalized cyclic carbonate, followed by mannose deprotection. CMP/control shRNA nanocomplexes showed lower cytotoxicity and higher transfection efficiency in 4T1 murine breast cancer cells than unmodified PEI/control shRNA nanocomplexes. Importantly, CMP/NF-kappa B shRNA nanocomplexes (CMPN) were capable of inhibiting migration and invasion, decreasing mammosphere and colony formation and lowering ALDH(+) CSC population. Furthermore, CMPN not only induced apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation, but also sensitized the cells to the treatment with doxorubicin-loaded micellar nanoparticles. Therefore, CMPN may provide a promising approach for eliminating CSCs to prevent cancer relapse and metastasis. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Inc.
