The off-target distribution of anticancer nanoparticles to fibroblasts creates a barrier to the effective treatment of desmoplastic tumors. However, we hypothesized that this nanoparticle detriment might be exploited to target the expression of secreted cytotoxic proteins from tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAF) as an anticancer strategy. In addressing this hypothesis, plasmids encoding the secretable TNF-related factor sTRAIL were loaded into lipid-coated protamine DNA complexes and administered ...[more]
