Development of drug delivery system for nucleic acid-based therapeutics

 

Nucleic acid (RNA)-based therapeutics involve the use of coding RNA, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), as well as non-coding RNA, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA). siRNAs are synthetic RNA duplexes of 21–23 base pairs in length that are designed to specifically target a particular mRNA for degradation. siRNA therapeutics can knock down the expression of target genes in the cells through a phenomenon known as RNA interference (RNAi). In contrast, messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics enable the immediate and efficient expression of therapeutic proteins in cells. Therefore, RNA-based therapeutics have become an increasingly important strategy for treating a variety of human diseases, such as cancer. However, both siRNA and mRNA cannot diffuse through cellular membranes owing to their hydrophilic nature and negative charges, and are susceptible to enzymatic degradation by serum endonucleases; therefore, delivery systems of RNA-based therapeutics to the cells are needed. In our laboratory, we are developing lipid-based nanoparticles for efficient delivery of siRNA and mRNA therapeutics to target tissues without side effects.
