Abstract

U87‑EGFRvIII is a U87 glioma cell line that overexpresses epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII). In the present study, we investigated whether a DNA aptamer selected against U87‑EGFRvIII using cell‑based systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell‑SELEX) could deliver c‑Met small interfering RNA (siRNA) into U87‑EGFRvIII cells and silence the targeted gene expression. The selected biotinylated aptamer (BA) was coupled to biotinylated c‑Met siRNA by streptavidin to deliver siRNA into U87‑EGFRvIII cells. c‑Met siRNA, transfected with lipofectamine 2000, served as a positive control, while control siRNA, transferred with BA, served as a negative control. Western blotting was performed to detect changes in the c‑Met protein expression, and MTT and Annexin V‑fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodine assays were used to determine changes in the proliferation and apoptosis of U87‑EGFRvIII cells, respectively. Similar to the liposome‑mediated group, U87‑EGFRvIII cells that were transfected with BA‑c‑Met siRNA experienced a significant decrease in the c‑Met protein expression (P<0.05). There were also significant increases in the apoptotic rate (P<0.05) and inhibition rate of cell growth (P<0.01) compared with the negative control group, indicating that BA could deliver c‑Met siRNA into U87‑EGFRvIII and result in target gene silencing. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that this DNA aptamer, obtained through cell‑SELEX, can be used as an efficient and targeted carrier for siRNA delivery, providing a novel approach and strategy for the targeted combination therapy of glioblastoma.
