Ultrasound-mediated mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with PDLIM5 siRNA inhibit gefitinib resistance in NSCLC cells by attenuating EMT
Eur J Pharm Sci. 2023 Jan 5:106372. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKIs) was one of the main drugs in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous studies had demonstrated that PDZ and LIM Domain 5 (PDLIM5) played an important role in EGFR TKIs resistance. However, there was no feasible method to eliminate EGFR TKIs resistance by suppressing this gene. Here, we formulated a novel mesoporous silica-loaded PDLIM5 siRNA (Small interfering RNA) nanoplatforms. The results have shown that PDLIM5 siRNA could be effect...

Utilizing RNA nanotechnology to construct negatively charged and ultrasound-responsive nanodroplets for targeted delivery of siRNA
In this study, we demonstrated a novel strategy to construct negatively charged and ultrasound (US)-responsive O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMS) NDs as a siRNA targeted delivery system through three-way junction of bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor (3WJ-pRNA) nanotechnology. 39nt A10-3.2 aptamer targeting prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and 21nt siRNA against cationic amino acid transporter 1 (siCAT-1) were annealed to 3WJ-pRNA scaffold via complementation with an extended sequence. The cholesterol molecule attached to one branch facilitates the 3WJ-pRNA nanoparticles anchoring onto NDs. The desired O-CMS ND...

Ultrasound-sensitive siRNA-loaded nanobubbles fabrication and antagonism in drug resistance for NSCLC
In this study, we have prepared nanobubbles loaded PDLIM5 siRNA (PDLIM5siRNA-NBs) to investigate the transfection efficiency and their antagonism in drug resistance in combination with ultrasound irradiation for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Research results show that the PDLIM5 siRNA are effectively bound to the shell of NBs with a mean diameter of 191.6 ± 0.50 nm and a Zeta potential of 11.8 ± 0.68 mV. And the ultrasonic imaging indicated that the PDLIM5 siRNA NBs maintain the same signals as the microbubbles (SonoVue). Under the optimized conditions of 0.5 W/m2 ultrasound intensity and 1 min irradiation duration...

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound prevents prolonged hypoxia-induced cardiac fibrosis through HIF-1 α/DNMT3a pathway via a TRAAK-dependent manner
This study aimed to determine whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a novel and safe apparatus, could alleviate hypoxia-induced cardiac fibrosis, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Hypoxia (1% O2 ) and transverse aortic constriction (TAC) were performed on neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts and mice to induce cardiac fibrosis, respectively. LIPUS irradiation was applied for 20 minutes every 6 hours for a total of 2 times in vitro, and every 2 days from 1 week before surgery to 4 weeks after surgery in vivo. We found that LIPUS dose-dependently attenuated hypoxia-induced cardiac fibroblast phenotypic conve...

CircRNA 010567 improves myocardial infarction rats through inhibiting TGF- β1.
CONCLUSIONS: CircRNA 010567 siRNA can improve the cardiac function, alleviate the MF, and inhibit the myocardial apoptosis, thereby further suppressing MI-induced MF, whose mechanism may be related to the inhibition on the TGF-β1 signaling pathway. PMID: 31957851 [PubMed - in process]
