Zusammenfassung:A functionalised hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles based drug delivery system (DDS) [anti-angiogenesis (ANG)/amine functionalised HAP (NHAP) nanoparticles] composed of HAP nanoparticles and therapeutic ANG plasmid was successfully developed for gene therapy of breast cancer. ANG/NHAP nanoparticles displayed nano-sized diameter of around 50 nm and effective plasmid condensation ability. Cellular assays on MCF-7 cells further confirmed high transfection and ANG efficacy as well as low cytotoxicity of ANG/NHAP nanoparticles, which suggested that ANG/NHAP nanoparticles might be a safe and effective DDS for potential breast cancer gene therapy.
