Integrin Targeted Delivery of Gene Therapeutics
Integrins have become key targets for molecular imaging and for selective delivery of anti-cancer agents. Here we review recent work concerning the targeted delivery of antisense and siRNA oligonucleotides via integrins. A variety of approaches have been used to link oligonucleotides to ligands capable of binding integrins with high specificity and affinity. This includes direct chemical conjug...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeted Therapeutics
Integrins are heterodimeric, transmembrane receptors that function as mechanosensors, adhesion molecules and signal transduction platforms in a multitude of biological processes. As such, integrins are central to the etiology and pathology of many disease states. Therefore, pharmacological inhibition of integrins is of great interest for the treatment and prevention of disease. In the last two ...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeted Delivery of Radiotherapeutics
Targeted radionuclide therapy, which is based on the selective delivery of a sufficient radiation dose to tumors without significantly affecting normal tissues, is a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies. Integrins, a family of cell adhesion molecules, play key roles during tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Among all the integrins, αvβ3 seems to be ...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeted Delivery of Chemotherapeutics
Targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics is defined in the sense, that is, to maximize the therapeutic index of a chemotherapeutic agent by strictly localizing its pharmacological activity to the site or tissue of action. Integrins are a family of heterodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins involved in a wide range of cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell-to-cell interactions. As cell surface...
متن کاملNanotechnology for Targeted Delivery in Cancer Therapeutics
Recent advances in nanotechnology has shown tremendous promise to revolutionize cancer therapeutics by generating new therapies that might allow more efficient targeted delivery of anticancer agents to kill cancerous cells or tumors and imaging agents for diagnosis of various cancers. But, before application of nanoparticle-based targeted delivery systems, significant challenges related to clin...
