Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer among children, presenting significant healthcare challenges for some patients, including drug resistance and the need for targeted therapies. SiRNA-based therapy is one potential solution, but problems can arise in administration and the need for a delivery system to protect siRNA during intravenous injection. Additionally, siRNA encounters instability and degradation in the reticuloendothelial system, off-target effects, and potential immune system stimulation. Despite these limitations, some promising results about siRNA therapy in ALL patients have been published in recent years, showing the potential for more effective and precise treatment, reduced side effects, and personalized approaches. While siRNA-based therapies demonstrate safety and efficacy, addressing the mentioned limitations is crucial for further optimization. Advancements in siRNA-delivery technologies and combination therapies hold promise to improve treatment effectiveness and overcome drug resistance. Ultimately, despite its challenges, siRNA therapy has the potential to revolutionize ALL treatments and improve patient outcomes.
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)是儿童中最常见的癌症类型,给一些患者带来了重大的医疗保健挑战,包括耐药性和对靶向治疗的需求。基于 siRNA 的治疗是一种潜在的解决方案,但在给药方面可能会出现问题,并且需要一种输送系统来保护 siRNA 在静脉注射过程中的稳定性。此外,siRNA 在网状内皮系统中会遇到不稳定性和降解、脱靶效应以及潜在的免疫系统刺激。尽管存在这些局限性,但近年来已经发表了一些关于 ALL 患者中 siRNA 治疗的有前途的结果,表明有潜力实现更有效和精确的治疗、减少副作用和个性化方法。尽管基于 siRNA 的治疗显示出安全性和有效性,但解决上述局限性对于进一步优化至关重要。siRNA 输送技术和联合治疗的进步有望提高治疗效果并克服耐药性。尽管存在挑战,但 siRNA 治疗有可能彻底改变 ALL 的治疗方法并改善患者的预后。
