Protamine sulfate–nanodiamond hybrid nanoparticles as a vector for MiR-203 restoration in esophageal carcinoma cells†
Abstract
We report an innovative approach for miRNA-203 delivery in esophageal cancer cells using protamine sulphate (PS)–nanodiamond (ND) nanoparticles. The efficient delivery of miR-203 significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration of cancer cells through targeting Ran and ΔNp63, exhibiting a great potential for PS@ND nanoparticles in miRNA-based cancer therapy.
