Abstract
Introduction: Small membrane particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) transport biologically active cargo between cells, providing intercellular communication. The clinical application of EVs is limited due to the lack of scalable and cost-effective approaches for their production and purification, as well as effective loading strategies.
Methods: Here we used EV mimetics produced by cell treatment with the actin-destabilizing agent cytochalasin B as an alternative to EVs for the delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids.
Results: Cytochalasin-B-inducible nanovesicles (CINVs) delivered a fully modified N-(methanesulfonyl)- or mesyl (µ-) antisense oligonucleotide to B16 melanoma cells, selectively decreasing the level of target microRNA-21 with effectiveness comparable to that observed upon Lipofectamine 2000-mediated delivery. The efficiency of the CINV-mediated delivery of plasmid DNA encoding EGFP varied depending on the type of recipient cells. Surprisingly, under experimental conditions, CINVs were unable to deliver both modified and natural short RNA duplexes-small interfering RNA and immunostimulatory RNA-probably due to their poor loading into CINVs.
Discussion: CINVs demonstrated unique properties for the delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids, especially for antisense oligonucleotide-based therapy.
期刊介绍:
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
