"Smart" Nanoparticles Enhance the Cytoplasmic Delivery of Anti-RhoC Silencing RNA and Inhibit the Migration and Invasion of Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells.

Abstract:

:Rho-GTPases are small GTP-binding proteins that contribute to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by regulating several cellular processes including organization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell motility, transcription, and cell proliferation. Overexpression of RhoC-GTPases (RhoC) in breast cancer has been implicated in poor disease prognosis due to increased cancer cells invasion, migration, and motility, which warranted its consideration as a therapeutic target for inhibiting breast cancer metastasis. Using silencing RNA (siRNA) molecules to knockdown RhoC expression is a promising approach to inhibit breast cancer metastases. However, transforming anti-RhoC siRNA molecules into a viable therapy remains a challenge due to the lack of a biocompatible carrier that can selectively deliver the RNA cargo into breast cancer cells. We report the use of a degradable, pH-sensitive, β-cyclodextrin (βCD)-based polymeric carrier that condenses anti-RhoC siRNA forming "smart" particles. These smart anti-RhoC particles were efficiently internalized, successfully escaped the endosome, and delivered the RNA cargo into the cytoplasm of SUM149 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Our results show that anti-RhoC particles used at a low N/P ratio of 2.5/1 suppressed RhoC protein levels by 100% and 90% in SUM149 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. Further, anti-RhoC particles inhibited the invasion, motility, and migration of SUM149 and MDA-MB-231 cells by 40-47%, 57-60%, and 61.5-73%, respectively. Smart particles encapsulating the scrambled siRNA sequence did not affect RhoC protein expression or the invasion, motility, and migration of SUM149 and MDA-MB-231 cells, which indicate the biocompatibility of the polymeric carrier and selectivity of the observed RhoC knockdown. These results collectively indicate the therapeutic potential of smart anti-RhoC particles in arresting the metastatic spread of breast cancer cells.
