Abstract

Temozolomide (TMZ) is a clinically approved drug for glioblastoma (GBM) therapy. However, as a result of methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT), which is able to repair damaged DNA-damage repairing, TMZ usually yields unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a potential alteration tool for sensitivity of TMZ by targeting DNA repair enzymes. However, a suitable TMZ and siRNA codelivery system that can effectively and actively co-deliver siRNA/TMZ into the brain tumor is lacking. In this study, we constructed an angiopep-2 decorated polymersomal delivery system to co-deliver TMZ/siRNA for synergistic GBM therapy. This targeted polymersomal nanomedicine not only enhanced the circulation time of siRNA/TMZ in blood but also improved their blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing and GBM targeting ability. Moreover, when we co-administered siRNAs specific to retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4) together with TMZ in GBM cells, these RBBP4-specific siRNA (siRBBP4) modulated the sensitivity of TMZ by regulating MGMT, and thus showed a powerful synergistic anti-tumor effect. We demonstrated that angiopep-2 decorated polymersomal siRBBP4/TMZ co-loaded nanomedicines are capable of inhibiting tumor growth and significantly improved life expectancy of orthotropic GBM bearing mice. Overall, our study suggests that such a polymersomal TMZ/siRNA codelivery system provides a robust and potent nanoplatform for targeted GBM chemo-RNAi therapy.
