RNA interference (RNAi) is an RNA-dependent gene silencing approach controlled by RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Here we represent a synthetic RISC-mimic nanocomplex, which can actively cleave its target RNA in a sequence-specific manner. With high enzymatic stability and efficient self-delivery to target cells, the designed nanocomplex can selectively and potently induce gene silencing without cytokine activation. The nanocomplexes targeting to multidrug resistance are able to not only bypass P-glycoprotein (Pgp) transporter due to their nano-size effect, but also effectively suppress the Pgp expression, thus resulting in successful restoration of drug sensitivity of OVCAR8/ADR cells to Pgp-transportable cytotoxic agents. This nanocomplex approach has the potential for both functional genomics and cancer therapy.
