Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tumor heterogeneity leads to difficulties in treatment. Especially, drugs are hard to reach in hypoxic regions away from blood vessels, and that will cause recurrence. In this study, we aimed to develop the carriers for drug delivery system (DDS) that reaches the deeper part of the tumor. After preparation of subcutaneous tumor model of pancreatic cancer, tumor accumulation of various DDS carriers were compared by multiphoton microscope. The polyion complex (PICs), obtained by the self-assembly of the block copolymer and nucleic acid, delivered the siRNA to the center of the BxPC3 tumor nest most. By optimizing the polymer structure of PICs, tumor accumulation of siRNA was enhanced 1.8 times.
