- Abstract
- A glioblastoma is a common primary brain tumor that expresses microRNA- 21 (miR-21), which inhibits the expression of pro-apoptotic genes such as phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). Therefore, an antisense-oligonucleotide against miR-21 (miR21ASO) could have therapeutic effects for glioblastomas. In this study, curcumin was loaded into deoxycholic acid-conjugated polyethylenimine (DP) micelles. The curcumin-loaded DP micelle (DP-Cur) was evaluated as a carrier for the combined delivery of curcumin and miR21ASO. Gel retardation and heparin competition assays showed that DP-Cur formed stable complexes with miR21ASO. The anti-tumor effects of the combined delivery of curcumin and miR21ASO were evaluated in C6 glioblastoma cells. In vitro transfection showed that DP-Cur had an miR21ASO delivery efficiency similar to that of polyethylenimine (25 kDa, PEI25k) and DP. In the C6 cells, the delivery of miR21ASO using DP-Cur effectively reduced the miR21 level. The miR21ASO/DP-Cur complex induced apoptosis more effectively than the single delivery of curcumin or miR21ASO. The therapeutic effect of the miR21ASO/DP-Cur complex was also evaluated in an intracranial glioblastoma animal model. The miR21ASO/DP-Cur complex reduced the tumor volume more effectively than single therapy of curcumin or miR21ASO. Immunohistochemistry showed that PDCD4 and PTEN were induced in the miR21ASO/DP and miR21ASO/DP-Cur complex groups. Therefore, DP-Cur is an efficient carrier of miR21ASO and the combined delivery of miR21ASO and curcumin may be useful in the development of combination therapy for glioblastoma.
