The potential therapeutic of siRNA eye drops in ocular diseases
In recent years, researchers have expressed an ongoing interest in developing RNA interference (RNAi) technology for therapeutic gene suppression in various diseases. Preclinical studies in animal models and cultured cell studies indicated that RNAi technology was an effective experimental tool against a variety of ocular diseases, and some small interference RNA (siRNA) drugs have been entered into clinical trials in Stage I and Stage II. However, in these studies siRNAs were delivered into ocular tissues via either systemic or subconjunctival/intravitreous injection, which is invasive and harmful if repeated. Based on this evidence, we hypothesize that topical application of siRNA eye drops may be a safe and effective therapeutic option in ocular surface diseases with temporary changes of gene expression. Furthermore, siRNA eye drops targeting different genes may simultaneously treat several ocular surface diseases.
