The delivery of therapeutic molecules such as drugs, nucleic acids, or other active molecules into the target tissue and cells is limited because of biological and cellular barriers. Recently, many efforts are being made to bypass these barriers using nanosized drug delivery vehicles. For the targeted transfer of anticancer agents into the cancer tissue with higher efficiency and lower cellular toxicity, synthesis of nano-scale smart materials hold great promise due to the enhanced permeability and retention capability. Encapsulation of natural anticancer compounds such as resveratrol displaying low water-solubility and poor chemical stability into nanomaterials are intensely being studied to achieve the enhanced anticancer activity. The aim of this study is to investigate the drug delivery efficiency of the poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA)-chitosan nanoparticles (PCNPs) against PC-3 human prostate cancer cells In Vitro. To achieve this aim, resveratrol (RES), one of the widely known natural anticancer agent, is encapsulated into pHEMA core and pHEMARES nanospheres were coated with a cationic polymer, chitosan. Then, developed PCNPs-RES complexes were characterized using fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV) visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. The characterization studies revealed the synthesis of PCNPs nanoparticles and the entrapment of RES into PCNPs. Also, the cytotoxicity and drug delivery efficiency of PCNPs-RES complexes were tested in human prostate cancer cells, PC-3, In Vitro. As a consequence, PCNPs was shown to be a promising candidate as a new generation nanotherapeutic against prostate cancer In Vitro.

Abstract Background siRNAs hold a great potential for cancer therapy, however, poor stability in body fluids and low cellular uptake limit their use in the clinic. To enhance the bioavailability of siRNAs in tumors, novel, safe, and effective carriers are needed. Results Here, we developed cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (cSLNs) to carry siRNAs targeting EphA2 receptor tyrosine kinase (siEphA2), which is overexpressed in many solid tumors including prostate cancer. Using DDAB cationic lipid instead of DOTMA reduced nanoparticle size and enhanced both cellular uptake and gene silencing in prostate cancer cells. DDAB-cSLN showed better cellular uptake efficiency with similar silencing compared to commercial transfection reagent (Dharmafect 2). After verifying the efficacy of siEphA2-loaded nanoparticles, we further evaluated a potential combination with a histone lysine demethylase inhibitor, JIB-04. Silencing EphA2 by siEphA2-loaded DDAB-cSLN did not affect the viability (2D or 3D culture), migration, nor clonogenicity of PC-3 cells alone. However, upon co-administration with JIB-04, there was a decrease in cellular responses. Furthermore, JIB-04 decreased EphA2 expression, and thus, silencing by siEphA2-loaded nanoparticles was further increased with co-treatment. Conclusions We have successfully developed a novel siRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticle for targeting EphA2. Moreover, preliminary results of the effects of JIB-04, alone and in combination with siEphA2, on prostate cancer cells and prostate cancer tumor spheroids were presented for the first time. Our delivery system provides high transfection efficiency and shows great promise for targeting other genes and cancer types in further in vitro and in vivo studies.
