Abstract

The utility of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has shown great promise in treating a variety of diseases including many types of cancer. While their ability to silence a wide range of target genes underlies their effectiveness, the application of therapies remains hindered by a lack of an effective delivery system. In this study, we sought to develop an siRNA-delivery system for VEGF, a known signaling molecule involved in cancer, that consists of two selenium nanoparticles SeNPs and G2/PAH-Cit/SeNPs. A G2/PAH-Cit/SeNP is a pH-sensitive delivery system that is capable of enhancing siRNA loading, thus increasing siRNA release efficiency and subsequent target gene silencing both in vitro and in vivo. In vivo experiments using G2/PAH-Cit/SeNPs@siRNA led to significantly higher accumulation of siRNA within the tumor itself, VEGF gene silencing, and reduced angiogenesis in the tumor. Furthermore, the G2/PAH-Cit/SeNP delivery system not only enhanced anti-tumor effects on tumor-bearing nude mice as compared to SeNPs@siRNA, but also resulted in weak occurrence of lesions in major target organs. In sum, this study provides a new class of siRNA delivery system, thereby providing an alternative therapeutic route for cancer treatment.

摘要

小干扰 RNA(siRNA)在治疗多种疾病方面显示出巨大的应用前景,包括许多类型的癌症。虽然它们能够沉默广泛的靶基因是其有效性的基础,但由于缺乏有效的传递系统,治疗的应用仍然受到限制。在这项研究中,我们试图开发一种用于 VEGF 的 siRNA 传递系统,VEGF 是一种已知的参与癌症的信号分子,该系统由两个硒纳米颗粒 SeNPs 和 G2/PAH-Cit/SeNPs 组成。G2/PAH-Cit/SeNP 是一种 pH 敏感的传递系统,能够增强 siRNA 的负载,从而提高 siRNA 的释放效率,进而在体外和体内沉默靶基因。使用 G2/PAH-Cit/SeNPs@siRNA 的体内实验导致肿瘤内 siRNA 的积累显著增加、VEGF 基因沉默和肿瘤内血管生成减少。此外,与 SeNPs@siRNA 相比,G2/PAH-Cit/SeNP 传递系统不仅增强了对荷瘤裸鼠的抗肿瘤作用,而且还导致主要靶器官病变的发生较弱。总之,本研究提供了一类新的 siRNA 传递系统,从而为癌症治疗提供了一种替代的治疗途径。
