Multifunctional siRNA Delivery System for Cancer Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rationale for this study is to develop a multifunctional nanomedicine platform for siRNA targeted delivery to cancerous tumors as well as the use of MRI as a non-invasive strategy to monitor the drug therapy outcome. Therefore, we propose a novel multifunctional gene delivery vector by combining the magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles and their ability to package siRNA strands into discrete nanoparticles.

Objective(s): P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux protein, the overexpression of which has been associated with multidrug resistance in various cancers. Although siRNA delivery to reverse P-gp expression may be promising for sensitizing of tumor cells to cytotoxic drugs, the therapeutic use of siRNA requires effective carriers that can deliver siRNA intracellularly with minimal toxicity on targe...

Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Chemotherapy is the most common method for cancer therapy which represent non-specific side effects on normal cells and tissues and drug resistance in cancer cells. There are two main mechanisms for Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) in cancer cells including: drug efflux pump and activation of anti-apoptotic pathways. Cancer chemotherapy disadvanta...
