Abstract

A novel siRNA delivery system based on polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles was introduced in this study. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) siRNA was conjugated to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) via a disulfide linkage (siRNA-PEG). The siRNA-PEG conjugate could form PEC micelles by interacting with cationic polyethylenimine (PEI) as a core forming agent. The VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC micelles showed greater stability than naked VEGF siRNA against enzymatic degradation. Under a reductive condition similar to cytosolic environment, an intact form of siRNA was released from the siRNA-PEG conjugate by cleavage of the disulfide linkage. The VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC micelles effectively silenced VEGF gene expression in prostate carcinoma cells (PC-3) up to 96.5% under an optimized formulation condition. They also showed a far superior VEGF gene silencing effect than VEGF siRNA/PEI complexes even in the presence of serum. This study suggests that the siRNA delivery system using VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC micelles could be potentially applied to RNAi-based anti-angiogenic treatment of cancer in vivo.

摘要

本研究引入了一种基于聚电解质复合物(PEC)胶束的新型小干扰RNA(siRNA)递送系统。血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)siRNA通过二硫键与聚乙二醇(PEG)偶联(siRNA-PEG)。siRNA-PEG偶联物可与作为核心形成剂的阳离子聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)相互作用形成PEC胶束。与裸VEGF siRNA相比,VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC胶束对酶解具有更高的稳定性。在类似于胞质环境的还原条件下,二硫键断裂,完整形式的siRNA从siRNA-PEG偶联物中释放出来。在优化的制剂条件下,VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC胶束可有效沉默前列腺癌细胞(PC-3)中VEGF基因的表达,沉默效率高达96.5%。即使在有血清存在的情况下,它们也比VEGF siRNA/PEI复合物表现出远优越的VEGF基因沉默效果。本研究表明,使用VEGF siRNA-PEG/PEI PEC胶束的siRNA递送系统可能潜在地应用于基于RNA干扰的癌症体内抗血管生成治疗。
