Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a cancer cell-specific complex for targeting cancer. The complex for targeting cancer according to the present disclosure includes EGF, but is affected more by lysosomal activity rather than the EGFR signaling pathway, and thus can overcome the shortcomings of the existing EGF therapy-based diagnostic and therapeutic compositions and provide successfully personalized and improved effects of treating, preventing and alleviating cancer. A diagnostic composition according to the present disclosure enables the prediction of the anticancer performance of a therapeutic composition of the present disclosure in a subject, and thus enables anticancer treatment to be designed stably.
Abstract:
Provided is BRCA-specific siRNA for enhancing the sensitivity of cancer cells to PARP inhibitors. According to the present disclosure, the siRNA can induce cancer cell death together with the PARP inhibitors in patients with wild-type BRCA genes with a low therapeutic effect of the PARP inhibitors, and the fusion protein-siRNA complex for siRNA delivery is up-taken into cells via CD47, and thus more specifically delivered to cancer cells while up-taken with high efficiency, thereby maximizing a desired cell death effect.
Abstract:
A RNA/DNA nanoparticle for delivering siRNA where a RNA transcript including at least one hairpin structure hybridizes DNA-cholesterol conjugate and folate-DNA conjugate including a complementary sequence to the RNA transcript, and a composition including the RNA/DNA nanoparticle is provided. More specifically, because various siRNA used for different applications can be contained in the RNA/DNA nanoparticle for delivering siRNA at a high loading efficiency, and has stability to the outer attacks such as nuclease degradation. The RNA/DNA nanoparticle siRNA can be prepared by self-assembly without using polycationic agent which is harmful agent for body. The folate targeting to various cancer cells can accumulate the nanoparticle selectively on target cancer cell after intravenous injection, and make excellent gene-silencing effect inside the cancer tissue, thereby being used as a good agent for treating cancers.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for in vivo targeting of a nanoparticle via bioorthogonal copper-free click chemistry, more particularly to a method for in vivo targeting of a nanoparticle, including: injecting a precursor capable of being metabolically engineered in vivo when injected into a living system and having a first bioorthogonal functional group into the living system; and injecting a nanoparticle having a second bioorthogonal functional group which can perform a bioorthogonal copper-free click reaction with the first bioorthogonal functional group attached thereto into the living system.In accordance with the present disclosure, accumulation of nanoparticles at a target site in a living system can be increased remarkably and the biodistribution of the nanoparticles can be controlled since the nanoparticles bound to a cell surface are taken up into the cell with time.
Abstract:
A fusion protein-siRNA complex according to the present disclosure binds specifically to cancer cells, is taken up effectively by the cells, and exhibits anticancer activity as it is degraded by lysosomes. The fusion protein-siRNA complex provides maximized anticancer activity so that the cancer cells can be removed by autoimmunity, by inhibiting the immunity of the cancer cells and enhancing phagocytosis by macrophages.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inducing trans-differentiation of cardiomyocytes based on exosome, and more particularly, to a method for inducing trans-differentiation of a fibroblast into a cardiomyocyte, comprising the steps of: isolating exosomes in a culture medium during a process of differentiating a stem cell into the cardiomyocyte; culturing a fibroblast in a cardiomyocyte reprogramming medium containing the isolated exosomes; and culturing the fibroblast cultured in a cardiomyocyte differentiation medium containing the isolated exosomes.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a drug conjugate as a prodrug that is degraded by cathepsin B specifically expressed in tumor tissues to release doxorubicin. The drug conjugate can form self-assembled nanoparticles. In addition, the drug conjugate specifically responds to and is activated in tumor cells. Therefore, the use of the drug conjugate eliminates the incidence of side effects (for example, cell damage and apoptosis) during the course of cancer prevention or treatment.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a gelatin-based nanoparticle complex for tumor-targeted delivery of siRNA for specific gene silencing in tumor cells. The gelatin-based nanoparticle complex includes: poly-siRNA chains whose ends are modified with thiol groups; and thiolated gelatin bound to the poly-siRNA chains through disulfide crosslinking and charge interactions. The gelatin-based nanoparticle complex is not degraded in the bloodstream and can be efficiently absorbed into tumor cells without cytotoxicity. The delivered siRNA can effectively silence target gene expression. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the gelatin-based nanoparticle complex.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an agent capable of inhibiting the activity or enhancing expression of various cancer-related RNAs in TAMS and cancer cells. Disclosed is also a dual-targeted drug delivery system capable of binding to both tumor cells and macrophages in which the PD-L1 receptor is overexpressed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a methylene blue nanoparticle for bioimaging and photodynamic therapy, and a use thereof as a cancer therapeutic agent and a contrast agent. The methylene blue nanoparticle of the present invention for use as a topical cancer targeting photo therapeutic agent is composed of only a material of which the composition is clinically used or derived from human bodies, and thus a nanopreparation in which a barrier to clinical entry is low and the possibility of commercialization is very high, exhibits near-infrared fluorescence along with cancer targeting property, capacity of generating singlet oxygen and the like, and thus may be used for both bioimaging diagnosis such as optical imaging, and cancer targeting photodynamic therapy.
