RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a transformative approach for cancer therapy, enabling precise gene silencing through small interfering RNA (siRNA). However, the clinical application of siRNA-based treatments faces challenges such as rapid degradation, inefficient cellular uptake, and immune system clearance. Nanotechnology-enhanced siRNA delivery has revolutionized cancer therapy by addressing these limitations, improving siRNA stability, tumor-specific targeting, and therapeutic efficacy. Recent advancements in nanocarrier engineering have introduced innovative strategies to enhance the safety and precision of siRNA-based therapies, offering new opportunities for personalized medicine. This review highlights three key innovations in nanotechnology-enhanced siRNA delivery: artificial intelligence (AI)-driven nanocarrier design, multifunctional nanoparticles for combined therapeutic strategies, and biomimetic nanocarriers for enhanced biocompatibility. AI-driven nanocarriers utilize machine learning algorithms to optimize nanoparticle properties, improving drug release profiles and minimizing off-target effects. Multifunctional nanoparticles integrate siRNA with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or photothermal therapy, enabling synergistic treatment approaches that enhance therapeutic outcomes and reduce drug resistance. Biomimetic nanocarriers, including exosome-mimicking systems and cell-membrane-coated nanoparticles, improve circulation time, immune evasion, and targeted tumor delivery. These innovations collectively enhance the precision, efficiency, and safety of siRNA-based cancer therapies. The scope and novelty of these advancements lie in their ability to overcome the primary barriers of siRNA delivery while paving the way for clinically viable solutions. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in nanocarrier fabrication, preclinical and clinical studies, and safety assessments. By integrating AI-driven design, multifunctionality, and biomimicry, nanotechnology-enhanced siRNA delivery holds immense potential for the future of precision cancer therapy.
RNA干扰(RNAi)已成为一种变革性的癌症治疗方法,可通过小干扰RNA(siRNA)实现精确的基因沉默。然而,基于siRNA的治疗方法在临床应用中面临着诸如快速降解、细胞摄取效率低下和免疫系统清除等挑战。纳米技术增强的siRNA递送通过解决这些限制,改善了siRNA的稳定性、肿瘤特异性靶向性和治疗效果,从而彻底改变了癌症治疗。纳米载体工程的最新进展引入了创新策略,以提高基于siRNA的治疗的安全性和精确性,为个性化医疗提供了新机会。本综述重点介绍了纳米技术增强的siRNA递送中的三项关键创新:人工智能(AI)驱动的纳米载体设计、用于联合治疗策略的多功能纳米颗粒以及用于增强生物相容性的仿生纳米载体。AI驱动的纳米载体利用机器学习算法来优化纳米颗粒的特性,改善药物释放曲线并将脱靶效应降至最低。多功能纳米颗粒将siRNA与化疗、免疫疗法或光热疗法相结合,实现协同治疗方法,提高治疗效果并降低耐药性。仿生纳米载体,包括外泌体模拟系统和细胞膜包被的纳米颗粒,可改善循环时间、免疫逃逸和靶向肿瘤递送。这些创新共同提高了基于siRNA的癌症治疗的精确性、效率和安全性。这些进展的范围和新颖性在于它们能够克服siRNA递送的主要障碍,同时为临床可行的解决方案铺平道路。本综述对纳米载体制造、临床前和临床研究以及安全性评估的最新进展进行了全面分析。通过整合AI驱动的设计、多功能性和仿生学,纳米技术增强的siRNA递送在精准癌症治疗的未来具有巨大潜力。
