Smart Delivery Of Genes And Drugs For Treatment Of Cancer, Feng Lin
Theses & Dissertations
The ineffective delivery of genes and drugs have become a big obstacle for the treatment of cancer, due to either poor stability or low aqueous solubility. In the first part, A ROS responsive polymer named poly(ethylene glycol)–poly[aspartamidoethyl(p-boronobenzyl)diethylammonium bromide] (PEG-B-PAEBEA) was developed for codelivery miR-34a mimic and small molecule PLK1 inhibitor volasertib (BI6727) for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), since tumor suppressor microRNA-34a (miR-34a), which targets many oncogenes related to proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion is significant downregulated while Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) closely associated with short survival rates of pancreatic cancer patients is remarkably upregulated . In part 2, …
