Abstract
A promising approach to treat colorectal cancer (CRC) involves combining chemotherapy, epigenetics, and gene therapy to combat drug resistance. Multifunctional nanocarriers have emerged as a valuable tool for targeted CRC therapy. By delivering multiple treatments directly to cancer cells, these nanocarriers offer the potential for improved outcomes and reduced side effects. PAMAM-based dendrimers were functionalized with a unique combination of folic acid, 5-FU, SAHA, and plasmid DNA pCIneoGFP for targeted delivery to CRC cells. Biophysical characterizations of therapeutic loaded dendrimers and their complexes with pCIneoGFP were performed by: dynamic light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, and gel electrophoresis. Further, cellular analyses of dendriplexes demonstrated high transfection efficiency and anticancer activity on HCT 116 and HT-29 cell lines. We have successfully developed a multifunctional nanocarrier platform based on PAMAM dendrimers, offering a promising tool for targeted combination therapy of CRC.

期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Journal (2019 Journal Citation Reports: 3.543) is fully comprehensive in its scope and publishes strictly peer-reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology. Some issues are devoted to a special topic, providing the latest information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances.
In addition to these special issues, the journal welcomes unsolicited submissions for primary research articles, such as Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Biotech Methods. BTJ also welcomes proposals of Review Articles - please send in a brief outline of the article and the senior author''s CV to the editorial office.
BTJ promotes a special emphasis on:
Systems Biotechnology
Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering
Nanobiotechnology and Biomaterials
Tissue engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem cells
Gene Editing, Gene therapy and Immunotherapy
Omics technologies
Industrial Biotechnology, Biopharmaceuticals and Biocatalysis
Bioprocess engineering and Downstream processing
Plant Biotechnology
