제목 Conjugated Polymer as a Candidate Carrier for Systemic Cancer Treatment using siRNA Therapeutics
초록 Small interfering RNA (siRNA) directs the sequence-specific degradation of mRNA through RNA interference (RNAi). siRNA delivery has attracted for cancer treatment. Herein, we used a low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) conjugated with deoxycholic acid (DA). A DA-PEI conjugate was further modified with 4-fluorothiophenol (4-FTP) (4-FTP-DA-PEI) to enhance systemic siRNA delivery. The thiophenol group would mediate a disulfide bonds between the polymer chains and siRNA modified with free thiols (thiol-siRNA) to form and π-π interactions between the aromatic groups and coprostane ring of the bile acid. The stabilized TP-DA-PEI/thiol-siRNA shows improved cellular uptake, serum stability, and transfection efficiency. Furthermore, it shows high accumulation of TP-DA-PEI/thiol-siRNA polyplexes and significant tumor growth inhibition effect in tumor-bearing mice after systemic administration. TP-DA-PEI conjugate could be considered as a promising carrier for systemic cancer therapy.
