To date, clinicians still lack an effective strategy to treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this work, we design for the first time a gold nanorod embedded large-pore mesoporous organosilica (GNR@LPMO) nanoplatform for gene and photothermal cooperative therapy of TNBC. The synthesized GNR@LPMOs possess a uniform size (175 nm), high surface area (631 m2 g-1), large pore size, excellent photothermal efficiency, and good biocompatibility. Thanks to the large-pore mesoporous organosilica layer, the GNR@LPMO nanoplatforms display much higher loading capacity of siRNA compared with traditional liposome and bare gold nanorods. Thus, functional siRNA can be efficiently delivered into TNBC cells by GNR@LPMOs, causing much higher cell apoptosis through knocking down the PLK1 proteins. By combining the effective gene delivery and photothermal abilities, the GNR@LPMO nanoplatforms are further used for gene and photothermal cooperative therapy of TNBC, which induce a 15 fold higher mice tumor inhibition rate than sole therapy modality, indicating the potential clinical use of this novel nanoplatform in treating TNBC.
