| الوصف: | Introduction: MiRNAs have been implicated in the development of some if not all cancer types and have been identified as attractive targets for therapy. However, systemic delivery of bare miRNAs faces its own set of limitations because of degradation by RNases and filtration and excretion by the kidneys. In this work we propose miRNAs as therapeutic agents. We have developed a novel system for miRNA delivery applicable for both local and systemic administration with the use of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) microparticles (MPs). Methodology: MSCs were isolated from the Wharton's jelly of human umbilical cords. The MSC cultures were subjected to serum deprivation, leading to the formation of MPs (secreted membrane vehicles Results: In vitro experiments confirmed that MSC-derived MPs can be internalized by the various cancer cell lines and induce a biological effect as evidenced by membrane damage, cell shrinkage and blebbing in the recipient cell. Significantly, there was evidence that MPs induce apoptosis, inhibit cell proliferation and tumor growth attenuation in a dose/time-dependent manner. The pro-apoptotic and anti-migration effects of MPs in cancer cells were almost completely abrogated by RNase treatment before administration to cultures. In vivo studies demonstrated that we were able to monitor and quantify fluorescently labelled MPs in circulation and to detect and image the biodistribution and incorporation in cells and organs in healthy and tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion: MSC-derived MPs containing miRNAs possess tumor inhibitory properties both in vitro and in vivo. Administration of MPs after RNase treatment induces the loss of anti-cancer properties suggesting a horizontal transfer of small RNAs from MPs to cancer cells. MPs formulated to contain specific miRNAs, could affect the action of genes associated with carcinogenesis, neovascularization, metastasis and other cancer characteristics, thus leading to therapeutic benefit.
