Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle-enhanced radiotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma via delivery of siBIRC5 and AS-ODN.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiotherapy is the mainstay treatment for lung adenocarcinoma, yet remains highly susceptible to resistance. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) possess the ability to induce biological therapeutic effects. Herein, the current study set out to explore the effects of Fe3O4 MNPs on radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Methods

Fe3O4 MNPs loaded with both negatively-charged small interfering RNA against baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (siBIRC5) and oligodeoxynucleotide antisense (AS-ODN) to generate co-delivery NPs, followed by evaluation. Gel retardation assay was further performed to determine the binding ability of Fe3O4 MNPs to AS-ODN/siBIRC5. The radiosensitizing effect of NPs on lung adenocarcinoma cells was determined in the absence or the presence of NPs or radiotherapy. A549 and H460 tumor-bearing mice were established, where tumor tissues were subjected to immunohistochemistry.

Results

NPs were successfully prepared and characterized. BIRC5 expression levels were augmented in tissues of lung cancer patients. Fe3O4 MNPs enhanced the uptake of siBIRC5 and AS-ODN by lung adenocarcinoma cells. The presence of NPs under magnetic field reduced the BIRC5 expression and elevated the DR5 expression in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Lung adenocarcinoma cells treated with NPs exhibited inhibited tumor cell migration and increased DNA damage. After magnetic field treatment, tumors were better suppressed in the tumor-bearing mice treated with NPs, followed by radiotherapy.

Conclusion

Findings obtained in our study indicated that Fe3O4 MNPs-targeted delivery of siBIRC5 and AS-ODN enhances radiosensitivity, providing an innovative solution for the current clinically existing lung adenocarcinoma patients with radiotherapy resistance with a low risk of toxicity.
