For systemic small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery to tumor mass, a multifunctional polyion complex micelle was constructed with a block copolymer bearing a targeting ligand and a micelle-stabilizing moiety as well as an endosome-disrupting cationic unit. The block copolymer was comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and a polyaspartamide derivative with flanking cationic tetraethylenepentamine (TEP) moiety (PAsp(TEP)), in which the distal ends of PEG and PAsp(TEP) were further installed with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptide ligand and cholesteryl (Chol) moiety, respectively. The resulting polymer was confirmed to form siRNA-loaded micelle with a diameter of sub 50 nm and a narrow size distribution. In the stability assays with fluorescently labeled siRNA, the terminal Chol moiety significantly suppressed both the rapid dissociation of the micelles in the serum-containing medium and their rapid elimination from the bloodstream, presumably due to its hydrophobic interactions in the micellar core. Moreover, the targeting cRGD ligand, associated with the stabilizing moiety, significantly enhanced the accumulation of siRNA-loaded micelle in a subcutaneous lung (A549) tumor, compared to a non-targeted control, after systemic administration. Ultimately, significant tumor growth inhibition was achieved by systemic administration of the targeted/stabilized micelle incorporating polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) siRNA with negligible liver toxicity, consistent with the significant sequence-specific gene silencing of Plk1 in the tumor tissue. These results demonstrated the therapeutic potential of cRGD-PEG-PAsp(TEP)-Chol/siRNA micelle for systemic siRNA delivery toward cancer therapy.
