Malignant serous effusion (MSE) is a life-threatening complication of advanced cancers with limited effective treatments. Here, we present a protocol for the preparation of LIN28B siRNA-loaded nanoparticles and their combination with PARP inhibition for therapeutic evaluation in malignant ascites (MA). We describe steps for nanoparticle formulation, establishment of murine ascites models, and in vivo administration of therapeutic agents. We then detail procedures for assessing tumor progression, vascular permeability, and endothelial junction integrity to evaluate treatment efficacy and microenvironmental remodeling. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Fang et al.1.
