A novel biomimetic platform RHAuNCs-miRNA for improved miRNA delivery was prepared by wrapping miRNA-loaded functionalized Au nanocages with red blood cell membrane. RHAuNCs-miRNA not only successfully loaded miRNAs but also effectively protected them from enzymatic degradation. With good stability, RHAuNCs-miRNA had the characteristics of photothermal conversion and sustained release.
Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) expression is closely related to cancers and managing miRNA expression holds great promise for cancer therapy. However, their wide clinical application has been hampered by their poor stability, short half-life and non-specific biodistribution in vivo. Herein, a novel biomimetic platform designated as RHAuNCs-miRNA for improved miRNA delivery was prepared through wrapping miRNA-loaded functionalized Au nanocages (AuNCs) with red blood cell (RBC) membrane. RHAuNCs-miRNA not only successfully loaded miRNAs but also effectively protected them from enzymatic degradation. With good stability, RHAuNCs-miRNA had the characteristics of photothermal conversion and sustained release. Cellular uptake of RHAuNCs-miRNA by SMMC-7721 cells was in a time-dependent manner via clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis. The uptake of RHAuNCs-miRNAs was affected by cell types and improved by mild near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. More importantly, RHAuNCs-miRNA exhibited a prolonged circulation time without the occurrence of accelerated blood clearance (ABC) in vivo, resulting in efficient delivery to tumor tissues. This study may demonstrate the great potential of RHAuNCs-miRNA for improved miRNAs delivery.
