The inhibition of human bladder cancer growth by calcium carbonate/CaIP6 nanocomposite particles delivering AIB1 siRNA

Abstract Previously, we reported that inorganic amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) hybrid nanospheres functionalized with Ca(II)-IP6 compound (CaIP6) is a promising gene vector in vitro . Here, nonviral gene carrier, ACC/CaIP6 nanocomposite particles (NPACC/CaIP6), was evaluated for efficient in vitr...

Description
Summary:Abstract Previously, we reported that inorganic amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) hybrid nanospheres functionalized with Ca(II)-IP6 compound (CaIP6) is a promising gene vector in vitro . Here, nonviral gene carrier, ACC/CaIP6 nanocomposite particles (NPACC/CaIP6), was evaluated for efficient in vitro and in vivo delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting human Amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1). The nanoparticle is capable of forming ACC/CaIP6 nanoparticle-siRNA complexes and transferring siRNA into targeted cells with high transfection efficiency. Meanwhile the ACC/CaIP6 nanoparticle-siRNA complexes have no obvious cytotoxicity for human bladder cancer T24 cells. Furthermore, NPACC/CaIP6 effectively protected the encapsulated siRNA from degradation, AIB1 knockdown mediated by ACC/CaIP6/siRNA complexes transfection resulted in cells proliferation inhibition, apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest in vitro . NPACC/CaIP6 exhibited well tissues penetrability in localized siRNA delivering, intratumoral injection of NPACC/CaIP6/siAIB1 could attenuate tumor growth and downregulation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in vivo . We conclude that ACC/CaIP6 nanoparticle is a promising system for effective delivery of siRNA for cancer gene therapy.
