Background: There are several stimulating molecules in tumor microenvironment which enhance tumor
growth. Among them, S1PR1 promotes cancer cell survival, invasion, metastasis and radio/chemo-resistance
in various cancers via JAK/STAT3 and other signaling pathways. Glycoprotein130 is a shared subunit of IL-6
receptor which mediates tumor progression following ligation with IL-6 on tumor cells. IL-6 via its receptor,
gp130, triggers STAT3 stimulation. There is an amplification loop between S1PR1 and IL-6 for stimulation of
STAT3 signaling in tumor cells. Therefore combinatorial blockage of these molecules can be considered as an
effective immunotherapeutic approach for cancer therapy.
Methods: S1PR1-siRNA and gp130-siRNA were encapsulated into trimethyl chitosan (TMC) nanoparticles
(NPs) were generated through ionic gelation of TMC by hyaloronic acid and employed to suppress the
expression of S1PR1 and gp130 molecules on 4T1 and B16F10 cancer cells, in vitro. All of physicochemical
characteristics, serum stability, siRNA loading efficiency, siRNA release pattern, and cellular uptake of NPs
were assessed. The expression of target genes was evaluated by real-time PCR. Anti-proliferative effect of
nanoformulation was assessed by MTT assay. Wound healing assay was performed to assay anti-metastatic
effects.
Results: SiRNA-loaded NPs had about 100 nm size with a polydispersive index below 0.3 and a zeta potential
about 15. Generated NPs exhibited high siRNA loading capacity, high serum stability, and efficiently uptaken
by cancer cells. The NPs demonstrated low toxic effect during 72 hr cell culture. In addition, S1PR1-siRNA and
gp130-siRNA-loaded TMC NPs could efficiently suppress the expression of S1PR1 and gp130. Combination
treatment of tumor cells also led to downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins, angiogenic, and metastatic
molecules. Suppression of S1PR1 and gp130 was also associated with decreased migration of cancer cells.
Conclusion: Combinatorial treatment of tumor cells with S1PR1-siRNA and gp130-siRNA-loaded TMC NPs
may be considered as a promising therapeutic tool for cancer therapy. |
