Polymeric micelles as mighty nanocarriers for cancer gene therapy: a review

Yousefpour Marzbali, Mahsa, Yari Khosroushahi, Ahmad·2017·Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology

Abstract

Purpose Gene therapy has shown extensive potential to treat human diseases occurring from the defection of genes like various types of cancers. The cationic polymers, as non-viral gene carriers, offer the ability to engineer carrier systems having customized features that can be adapted to suit any system. Upon polymeric micelle systems' core-shell structure, micelles can create the capacity to load genes/gene-drugs into the different micelle compartments, respectively.Methods The search will be managed in Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane library, Embase and Proquest for articles related to polymeric micelle-based gene delivery in order to cancer gene therapy using the accommodative search terms. A database of the first search of all search engines results will be made and repeated articles will be removed. After that, the related articles will be selected, and also the references of selected articles will be searched in order to find any other articles to complete the search database.Results This study reviews kinds of polymeric nanomicelles, which have been used in gene therapy, critical parameters for micelle-based gene delivery, challenges and advantages/disadvantages as well as biosafety of nanomicelles in gene delivery systems. Furthermore, the discussion has focused on stimuli-responsive polymers and strategy and mechanisms regarding tumor-selective gene delivery.Conclusions This study provides an overview of the advantages/disadvantages of polymeric-based nanocarriers for cancer gene therapy.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Polymeric micelles have more efficient cellular internalization than other nanocarriers.

    “The consequence is the formation of systems with unique characteristics with respect to other nanocarriers: smaller size enabling the passive targeting to solid tumors (even poorly-permeable ones) [18] and a more efficient cellular internalization [19], good solubilization properties of hydrophobic compounds assimilated in the lipophilic core and a prolonged blood circulation time provided by the”
  • Polymeric micelles are characterized by easier preparation and higher scale-up feasibility compared to other nanocarriers such as polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes.

    “Thus, considering their formation by simple selfassembling in solution, micelles are characterized by an easier preparation and a higher scale-up feasibility in comparison to other nanocarriers such as polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes requiring more complex, long lasting and”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
