Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of using plasmid-expressed RNA interference (RNAi) targeting urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) and uPA to treat human glioma. Experimental Design: In the present study, we have used plasmid-based RNAi to simultaneously down-regulate the expression of uPAR and uPA in SNB19 glioma cell lines and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-overexpressing 4910 human glioma xenografts in vitro and in vivo, and evaluate the i.p. route for RNAi-expressing plasmid administered to target intracranial glioma. Results: Plasmid-mediated RNAi targeting uPAR and uPA did not induce OAS1 expression as seen from reverse transcription-PCR analysis. In 4910 EGFR-overexpressing cells, down-regulation of uPAR and uPA induced the down-regulation of EGFR and vascular endothelial growth factor and inhibited angiogenesis in both in vitro and in vivo angiogenic assays. In addition, invasion and migration were inhibited as indicated by in vitro spheroid cell migration, Matrigel invasion, and spheroid invasion assays. We did not observe OAS1 expression in mice with preestablished intracranial tumors, which were given i.p. injections of plasmid-expressing small interfering RNA-targeting uPAR and uPA. Furthermore, the small interfering RNA plasmid targeting uPAR and uPA caused regression of preestablished intracranial tumors when compared with the control mice. Conclusion: In conclusion, the plasmid-expressed RNAi targeting uPAR and uPA via the i.p. route has potential clinical applications for the treatment of glioma.
