The study aimed to develop polyplexes for co-delivery of plasmid DNA with retinoic acid against colorectal cancer cell line, showing higher potential in inducing apoptosis and cell inhibition.
Despite recent advances in the treatment of human colon cancer, the chemotherapeutic efficacy against colon cancer is still unsatisfactory. The complexity in colorectal cancer treatment leads to new research in combination therapy to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer and increase apoptosis. The objective of the present research work was to develop polyplexes for co-delivery of plasmid DNA with retinoic acid against colorectal cancer cell line (HCT-15). Plain polyplexes were prepared using chitosan and hyaluronic acid solution (0.1% w/v), whereas retinoic acid polyplexes were prepared using ethanol: water (1:9 v/v) system. The particle size was observed in the order of chitosan solution > blank polyplex > retinoic acid-loaded polyplex. Encapsulation efficiency of retinoic acid was found to be 81.51 +/- 4.33% for retinoic acid-loaded polyplex formulation. The drug release was observed to be in a controlled pattern with 72.23 +/- 1.32% release of retenoic acid from polyplex formulation. Cell line studies of the formulation displayed better cell inhibition and low cytotoxicity for the retinoic acid-loaded polyplexes in comparison to pure retinoic acid, thus demonstrating better potential action against colorectal cancer cell line HCT-15. Retinoic acid-loaded polyplexes indicated higher potential for the delivery of the active whereas the cell line studies displayed the efficacy of the formulation against colorectal cancer cell line HCT-15.
