Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. The outcomes for aggressive forms of NB remain poor. The aim of this study was to develop a new molecular-targeted therapy for NB using an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles (NPs), as a delivery vehicle, targeting the transcription regulator MAX dimerization protein 3 (MXD3). We previously discovered that MXD3 was highly expressed in high-risk NB, acting as an anti-apoptotic factor; therefore, it can be a good therapeutic target. In this study, we developed two ASO-NP complexes using electrostatic conjugation to polyethylenimine-coated SPIO NPs and chemical conjugation to amphiphilic polymers on amine-functionalized SPIO NPs. Both ASO-NP complexes demonstrated MXD3 knockdown, which resulted in apoptosis in NB cells. ASO chemically-conjugated NP complexes have the potential to be used in the clinic as they showed great efficacy with minimum NP-associated cytotoxicity.
神经母细胞瘤(NB)是儿童最常见的颅外实体瘤。侵袭性 NB 的治疗效果仍然较差。本研究旨在开发一种新的分子靶向治疗 NB 的方法,使用反义寡核苷酸(ASO)和超顺磁性氧化铁(SPIO)纳米颗粒(NP)作为递送载体,靶向转录调节因子 MAX 二聚化蛋白 3(MXD3)。我们之前发现 MXD3 在高危 NB 中高度表达,作为一种抗凋亡因子;因此,它可以作为一个很好的治疗靶点。在这项研究中,我们使用静电结合和化学结合两种方法制备了两种 ASO-NP 复合物,分别是通过聚乙二烯亚胺包覆的 SPIO NPs 进行静电结合,和通过伯胺功能化的 SPIO NPs 上的两亲聚合物进行化学结合。两种 ASO-NP 复合物均能显著降低 MXD3 的表达,从而导致 NB 细胞凋亡。由于 ASO 化学偶联 NP 复合物具有高效低细胞毒性的特点,具有潜在的临床应用价值。
