The high transfection efficiency and enhanced therapeutic effect of drug delivery systems developed in recent years imply that ligand-decorated nanocarriers are potentially targeted vectors for breast cancer treatment. Thioaptamer (TA)-modified nanoparticles (NPs) designed in this study mainly consisted of ligand TA and dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM). Knowing that TA can bind to CD44-receptors in breast cancer, this study was intended to validate the safety and feasibility of systemic miRNA delivery to breast cancer cells by TA-PEG-PAMAM/miRNA (polyethylene glycol - PEG), testify its tumor targeting efficiency in vitro, and observe its biodistribution when it was administered systemically to a xenograft mouse model of breast cancer. The in vivo and ex vivo imaging results in human breast cancer tumor-bearing mice showed that TA-modification was able to enhance the accumulation of NPs in the breast cancer tumor. Our data showed that TA-NPs did not induce functional impairment to normal tissues and vital organs. TA-NPs may prove to be a safe and effective miRNA deliver system for breast cancer treatment, and could be widely used in pre-clinical and eventually clinical arenas of breast cancer treatment.
