Efficient Delivery of Triptolide Plus a miR-30-5p Inhibitor Through the Use of Near Infrared Laser Responsive or CADY Modified MSNs for Efficacy in Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapeutics.

ABSTRACT: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease for which treatment focuses on suppressing an overactive immune system and maintaining the physiological balance of synovial fibroblasts (SFs). We found that miR-30-5p was highly expressed in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). Subsequently, we predicted that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2) might be a putative target of miR-30-5p. Recent studies have reported that PIK3R2 can maintain the physiological homeostasis of RASFs. Therefore, miR-30-5p inhibitor has the potential to be used in the treatment of RA, but low levels of miR-30-5p inhibitor internalization affect its application. Triptolide (TP) is an effective drug in the treatment of RA but induces severe toxicity and has a
