Small interfering RNA (siRNA) provides a highly selective method to target mutated pathways; however, its use is complicated by specific delivery to tumor cells. The aim of this study were to: i) develop a novel murine model of portal vein catheterization (PVC) for the chronic delivery of therapeutic agents to liver metastases, ii) determine the benefits of local delivery of siRNA to liver metastases, and iii) determine the utility of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) as a selective target for siRNA delivery to colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases. i) PVC was performed through midline laparotomy in 2 mo-old Balb/C mice. ii) Portal venous flow distribution and catheter patency were evaluated using fluorescently-labeled microspheres. Metastatic studies were performed by splenic injection of CT26 murine colon cancer cells; uptake of DY-547-labeled siRNA was assessed by IVIS imaging and delivery to metastases confirmed using fluorescent microscopy. iii) EpCAM expression was evaluated using IHC staining of human tissue microarrays. i) Successful PVC was confirmed by saline injection and ultrasound. ii) Fluorescent imaging of microspheres confirmed excellent distribution and catheter patency. Portal venous injection of DY547-labeled siRNA demonstrated a high level of fluorescence throughout the liver with siRNA also identified within the liver metastases. iii) All primary CRCs and liver metastases stained strongly for EpCAM with no expression in normal hepatocytes. Liver-directed therapy provides selective delivery of siRNA to CRC metastases. EpCAM expression in CRC, but not normal liver, may further selectively target hepatic metastases of epithelial origin.
