A lack of effective delivery methods has hampered the study of therapeutics targeting miR-875-5p for breast cancer (BC).
The miR-875-5p mimic was conjugated to AuNPs to produce AuNP-miR-875-5p. Then, the effect of AuNP-miR-875-5p on the proliferative, migratory, invasive activities, and apoptosis of BC cells was detected, as well as on tumor growth in animals. The involvement of the MTDH/PTEN/AKT pathway in miR-875-5p-mediated BC progression was identified.
AuNP-miR-875-5p was delivered to BC cells and hampered cell malignancy. MTDH was targeted by miR-875-5p. MTDH expression was negatively correlated with miR-875-5p expression in BC tissues. The anti-tumor effect of AuNP-miR-875-5p in BC cells was counteracted by MTDH overexpression. AuNP-miR-875-5p enhanced PTEN protein expression, thereby inhibiting AKT activation by targeting MTDH. AuNP-miR-875-5p blocked MCF-7 tumor growth in vivo.
AuNPs can deliver miR-875-5p to BC cells, and AuNP-miR-875-5p has clinical potential for treating unresectable BC.
缺乏有效的递送方法阻碍了针对乳腺癌(BC)的miR-875-5p治疗学研究。
将miR-875-5p模拟物与金纳米颗粒(AuNPs)偶联以制备AuNP-miR-875-5p。然后,检测AuNP-miR-875-5p对BC细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭活性和凋亡的影响,以及对动物肿瘤生长的影响。确定MTDH/PTEN/AKT通路在miR-875-5p介导的BC进展中的作用。
AuNP-miR-875-5p被递送至BC细胞并抑制细胞恶性程度。MTDH是miR-875-5p的靶标。在BC组织中,MTDH表达与miR-875-5p表达呈负相关。MTDH过表达抵消了AuNP-miR-875-5p在BC细胞中的抗肿瘤作用。AuNP-miR-875-5p增强PTEN蛋白表达,从而通过靶向MTDH抑制AKT激活。AuNP-miR-875-5p在体内阻断MCF-7肿瘤生长。
AuNPs可将miR-875-5p递送至BC细胞,且AuNP-miR-875-5p在治疗不可切除BC方面具有临床潜力。
