Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies demonstrated the EGF-targeted phagemid particles carrying siRNA against Akt could be expressed efficiently in the presence of hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT). However, no significant cell growth inhibition was obtained. This study was to further investigate whether the EGF-targeted phagemid particles carrying siRNA would be a promising tool for anti-cancer siRNA delivery.
Results
We found that pSi4.1-siFAK phagemid particles could significantly inhibit the expression of focal adhesion kinase in the HCPT-treated cells. Moreover, we also observed that the particles could potently suppress cell growth and cell invasion.
Conclusion
These results indicated that EGF-targeted phagemid particles might be a promising tool for anti-cancer siRNA delivery in the presence of HCPT.
