Popis The present study suggests and describes the application of a delivery system for antisense oligonucleotides against mRNA encoding estrogen receptor proteins alpha and beta. The delivery system is composed of a cationic liposome envelope containing 17 beta-estradiol (E-2) in its structure. Cationic liposomes protect cargo against the extracellular matrix, and E-2 can increase its shuttling efficiency into cells. Using MCF-7 cells derived from estrogen receptor-positive ductal carcinoma, treatment with liposomes against ER alpha was found to decrease MCF-7 proliferation, and importantly the application of both the antisense against ER alpha and beta exhibited an antiproliferative effect expressed as cell viability. Using qRT-PCR, it was shown that MTIA,NF-kappa B1 and K-ras genes, but not TFF1, were downregulated using E-2-based liposomes (evaluated at P=0.05). Further indicators of oxidative stress were employed to assess the effect on treatment efficiency. Glutathione (GSH/GSSG redox ratio), metallothionein (MT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) confirmed a positive effect of antisense therapy resulting in their decreased levels in the MCF-7 cells. Based on these data, we suggest that E2-based liposomes offer sufficient transfer efficiency and moreover, due to the effect on NF-kappa BI, MT and GSH, tumor cells can be chemosensitized to increase treatment effectiveness.
