Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignant tumour in the biliary tract, but effective therapeutics are lacking. Based on our previous studies, miR-135a is a potential tool to inhibit GBC proliferation. In this study, we constructed miR-135a-loaded DSPE-PEG2000 liposomes modified with Anti-EGFR antibodies (Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a). The results of an analysis of their physicochemical properties indicated the particle size of it was 222.0 ± 2.1 nm in diameter with an uptake efficiency of 86.5%. Next, the post-treatment biological behaviours of GBC, specifically, invasion, metastasis and apoptosis, were evaluated. miR-135a inhibited GBC invasion and metastasis and promoted apoptosis compared to controls. Additionally, miR-135a targeted and regulated the expression of ROCK1, HOXA10 and BCL-2. Due to the targeted effects of Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a, the GBC tumour growth rate was 60% lower in an in vivo xenograft-bearing mouse model compared to controls. Thus, Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a is a promising therapeutic strategy to combat GBC.
胆囊癌(GBC)是胆道系统最常见的恶性肿瘤,但缺乏有效的治疗方法。基于我们之前的研究,miR-135a 是一种潜在的抑制 GBC 增殖的工具。在本研究中,我们构建了装载 miR-135a 的 DSPE-PEG2000 脂质体,并用抗 EGFR 抗体(Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a)进行了修饰。对其理化性质的分析结果表明,其粒径为 222.0±2.1nm,摄取效率为 86.5%。接下来,我们评估了 GBC 的治疗后生物学行为,特别是侵袭、转移和凋亡。与对照组相比,miR-135a 抑制了 GBC 的侵袭和转移,并促进了细胞凋亡。此外,miR-135a 靶向并调节了 ROCK1、HOXA10 和 BCL-2 的表达。由于 Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a 的靶向作用,在体内异种移植荷瘤小鼠模型中,GBC 的肿瘤生长速度比对照组低 60%。因此,Anti-EGFR-CIL-miR-135a 是一种有前途的治疗 GBC 的策略。
