Evaluation of mAb 2C5-modified dendrimer-based micelles for the co-delivery of siRNA and chemotherapeutic drug in xenograft mice model.
Article in Research square, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A combination therapy with small interfering RNA (siRNA) and chemotherapeutic drug is proven to be effective in downregulating the cancer resistance proteins, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). These proteins are involved in multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumors. MDR lowers the efficacy of chemotherapy and even renders it ineffective. A possible strategy to counteract the resistance is by downregulating the resistance proteins using siRNA. A targeted formulation capable of delivering siRNA and chemotherapeutic drug will not only downregulate P-gp but also increase the concentration of the chemotherapeutic drug at the site of tumor thereby increasing the therapeutic effect and lowering the systemic exposure. In this study, monoclonal antibody 2C5-modified dendrimer-based micelles were used to co-deliver siRNA and doxorubicin (DOX) to the tumor site in both male and female xenograft mice model. The nucleosome-specific 2C5 antibody recognizes the cancer cells via the cell-surface bound nucleosomes. The ability of the 2C5-modified formulation in affecting the metastasis of highly aggressive triple negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) was assessed via wound healing assay where the 2C5-modified formulation halved the rate at which the cells were migrating. Further, the therapeutic efficacy of the formulation was assessed by measuring the tumor volume progression where the 2C5-modified nanoparticle group had a similar tumor volume to the free drug group at the end of the study, although a 50% increase in DOX concentrations in blood was observed after the last dose of nanoparticle. Despite a higher DOX concentration and residence time we did not observe any systemic toxicities in the nanoparticle groups. The free drug group on the other hand showed body weight reduction as well as the visible irritation around the injection spot. The treatment group with 2C5-modified micelles has shown to be safe at the current dose of DOX and siRNA.The ability of 2C5 antibody-functionalized nanoparticles in delivering cargo to the tumor site
