Abstract
Background aims
Gene-silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is an attractive therapy to regulate cancer death, tumor recurrence or metastasis. Because siRNAs are easily degraded, it is necessary to develop transport and delivery systems to achieve efficient tumor targeting. Self-nanoemulsifying systems (SNEDDS) have been successfully used for pDNA transport and delivery, so they may be useful for siRNA. The aim of this work is to introduce siRNA-RAD51 into a SNEDDS prepared with Phospholipon-90G, Labrafil-M1944-CS and Cremophor-RH40 and evaluate its efficacy in preventing homologous recombination of DNA double-strand breaks caused by photodynamic therapy (PDT) and ionizing radiation (IR).
Methods
The siRNA-RAD51 was loaded into SNEDDS using chitosan. Transfection capacity was estimated by comparison with Lipofectamine-2000.
Results
SNEDDS(siRNA-RAD51) induced gene silencing effect on the therapies evaluated by cell viability and clonogenic assays using T47D breast cancer cells.
Conclusions
SNEDDS(siRNA-RAD51) shown to be an effective siRNA-delivery system to decrease cellular resistance in PDT or IR.
期刊介绍:
The journal brings readers the latest developments in the fast moving field of cellular therapy in man. This includes cell therapy for cancer, immune disorders, inherited diseases, tissue repair and regenerative medicine. The journal covers the science, translational development and treatment with variety of cell types including hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells (dendritic cells, NK, cells, T cells, antigen presenting cells) mesenchymal stromal cells, adipose cells, nerve, muscle, vascular and endothelial cells, and induced pluripotential stem cells. We also welcome manuscripts on subcellular derivatives such as exosomes. A specific focus is on translational research that brings cell therapy to the clinic. Cytotherapy publishes original papers, reviews, position papers editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor. We welcome "Protocols in Cytotherapy" bringing standard operating procedure for production specific cell types for clinical use within the reach of the readership.
