Abstract
This study was aimed to develop and evaluate the TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA [temozolomide-polyamidoamine dendimer-siRNA] dendriplexes for the effective treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In the present study, TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA dendriplexes were designed with optimized N/P ratio for the effective management of GBM. Complexation was performed using mixing followed by incubation in nuclease free water. The particle size and zeta potential of the developed dendriplexes were found to be 121.54 ± 8.21 nm and 12.56 ± 0.91 mV, respectively. Drug loading and entrapment efficiency of TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA were observed to be 38.41 ± 3.47% and 56.24 ± 3.94%, respectively. TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA exhibited minimal toxicity towards RBCs with controlled drug release behaviour in the acidic medium. TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA complex was reversible in nature and was able to release siRNA from dendriplexes. IC50 values were reduced in case of TMZ-PAMAM (p < 0.0001) and TMZ-PAMAM-siRNA (p < 0.0001). TMZ-PAMAM resulted in the IC50 values to be 419.47 ± 17.24 and 252.21 ± 15.64 μM after 24 and 48 h of treatment, respectively. The developed dendriplexes showed significantly higher cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 295.30 ± 21.56 μM after 24 h of treatment against LN229 cells. However, maximum cytotoxic effect was observed after 48 h of treatment and calculated IC50 value was 197.52 ± 18.12 μM. The results of cellular internalization supported the results obtained through MTT assay. The siRNA complexed PAMAM dendrimers have shown excellent potential in delivering drugs to the targeted cells. Such dendriplex-based approach can result into promising output if explored further.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
