Multifunctional Nanodelivery Platform for Maximizing Nucleic Acids Combination Therapy.
Overview
abstract
The silencing of an oncogene with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising way for cancer therapy. Its efficacy can be further enhanced by integrating with other therapeutics; however, transporting siRNA and other active ingredients to the same location at the same time is challenging. Here, we report a novel multifunctional nanodelivery platform by sequentially layering several functional ingredients, such as siRNAs, microRNAs, peptides, and targeting ligands, onto a core through charge-charge interaction. The prepared nanovectors effectively and programmably delivered multiple active components to maximize therapeutic combination with minimal off-targeting effects.
