Janus kinase (JAK1), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase family member, is involved in various cellular processes, including differentiation, cell proliferation and survival, playing a crucial role in cancer progression. This study aims to provide a more effective treatment for NMSC by concurrently silencing the JAK1 gene and administering 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) using liposome nanocomplexes as delivery vehicles. Utilizing RNA interference (RNAi) technology, liposome nanocomplexes modified with polyethylene imine (PEI) were conjugated with siRNA molecule targeting JAK1 and loaded with 5-FU. The prepared formulations (NL-PEI) were characterized in terms of their physicochemical properties, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, <em>in vitro</em> drug release, and stability. Cell cytotoxicity, cell uptake and knockdown efficiency were evaluated in human-derived non-melanoma epidermoid carcinoma cells (A-431). High contrast transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements revealed that the nanocomplexes formed spherical morphology with uniform sizes ranging from 80-120 nm. The cationic NL-PEI nanocomplexes successfully internalized within the cytoplasm of A-431, delivering siRNA for specific sequence binding and JAK1 gene silencing. The encapsulation of 5-FU in the nanocomplexes was achieved at 0.2 drug/lipid ratio.

The device was able to better control the F/T process by inducing directional bottom-up F/T. As a result, it reduced cryo-concentration during freezing as well as ice mound formation. However, freezing with the device was dependent on freezer performance, i.e. prolonged process times in a highly loaded freezer were accompanied by increased cryo-concentrations. Thawing was faster compared to without the device, but had no impact on concentration gradients and was slower compared to thawing in a water bath.</p><p>High-performance freezers might be required to fully exploit the potential of directional freezing with this device and allow F/T process harmonization and scaling across sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12024,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0939641124002534/pdfft?md5=c285bfef17e8e9fbdc617a851090fde8&pid=1-s2.0-S0939641124002534-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141878581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
