Background: Cancer poses a major public health issue, is linked with high mortality rates across the world, and shows a strong interplay between genetic and environmental factors. To date, common therapeutics, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, have made significant contributions to cancer treatment, although diverse obstacles for achieving the permanent “magic bullet” cure have remained. Recently, various anticancer therapeutic agents designed to overcome the limitations of these conventional cancer treatments have received considerable attention. One of these promising and novel agents is the siRNA delivery system; however, poor cellular uptake and altered siRNA stability in physiological environments have limited its use in clinical trials. Therefore, developing the ideal siRNA delivery system with low cytotoxicity, improved siRNA stability in the body’s circulation, and prevention of its rapid clearance from bodily fluids, is rapidly emerging as an innovative therapeutic strategy to combat cancer. Moreover, active targeting using ligand moieties which bind to over-expressed receptors on the surface of cancer cells would enhance the therapeutic efficiency of siRNA. Conclusion: In this review, we provide 1) an overview of the non-viral carrier associated with siRNA delivery for cancer treatment, and 2) a description of the five major cancer-targeting ligands.

Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common, recurring clinical complication in denture wearers that can lead to serious oral and systemic health problems. Polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technology on denture materials offers a new design principle for controlling fungal biofilm formation.

Layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique has been proved to be a highly effective method to immobilize the main components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen and hyaluronic acid on titanium-based implants and form a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film by electrostatic interaction. However, the formed PEM film is unstable in the physiological environment and affects the long-time effectiveness of PEM film. In this study, a modified LBL technology has been developed to fabricate a stable collagen/hyaluronic acid (Col/HA) PEM film on titanium coating (TC) by introducing covalent immobilization. Scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the PEM film. Results of Sirius red staining demonstrated that the chemical stability of PEM film was greatly improved by covalent cross-linking. Cell culture assays further illustrated that the functions of human mesenchymal stem cells, such as attachment, spreading, proliferation and differentiation, were obviously enhanced by the covalently immobilized Col/HA PEM on TCs compared with the absorbed Col/HA PEM. The improved stability and biological properties of the Col/HA PEM covalently immobilized TC may be beneficial to the early osseointegration of the implants.
