摘要: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related death. Gene therapy was established as a new strategy for treating HCC. To explore potential delivery system to support gene HCC, negatively charged liposomal used deliver miR-221 antisense oligonucleotide (anti-miR-221) transferrin (Tf) receptor over expressed HepG2 cells. The liposome exhibited mean particle size 122.5 nm, zeta -15.74 mV, anti-miR-221 encapsulation efficiency 70%, and excellent colloidal stability at 4°C. Anti-miR-221-encapsulated Tf-targeted demonstrated 15-fold higher compared nontargeted in cells vitro. Anti-miR-221 effectively delivered cells, upregulated target genes PTEN, P27(kip1), TIMP3, greater silencing liposome. After intravenous injection into tumor-bearing xenografted mice with Cy3-labeled liposome, Cy3-anti-miR-221 successfully tumor site increased expressions TIMP3. Our results demonstrate that could be therapeutic modality human
