Inulin coated MnO nanocuboids coupled with RNA interference reverse intestinal tumorigenesis in Apc knockout murine colon cancer models.

This study reports the development and pre-clinical evaluation of biodrug using RNA interference and nanotechnology. The major challenges in achieving targeted gene silencing in vivo include the stability of RNA molecules, accumulation into pharmacological levels, and site-specific targeting of the tumor. We report the use of Inulin for coating the arginine stabilized manganese oxide nanocuboids (MNCs) for oral delivery of shRNA to the gut.
