Chitosan nanoparticles as a dual drug/siRNA delivery system for treatment of colorectal cancer

Highlights • Recently tumor biologists and chemists have focused on polymeric and biodegradable nanoparticles such as chitosan. • In the present study we designed and synthesized a chitosan based nanoparticles, ChNPs, to deliver doxorubicin (DOX), and Snail siRNA to HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells....

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Recently tumor biologists and chemists have focused on polymeric and biodegradable nanoparticles such as chitosan. • In the present study we designed and synthesized a chitosan based nanoparticles, ChNPs, to deliver doxorubicin (DOX), and Snail siRNA to HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells. • Our findings confirmed that using dual delivery of DOX and Snail siRNA using ChNPs inhibited growth, proliferation and migration of HCT-116 cells.
