Abstract: The present invention provides that exosomes from ovarian cancer patients contain nuclear proteins and genomic DNA at an increased proportion. As such, detecting nuclear-derived exosomes provides a method of early detection of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, the level of nuclear-derived exosomes can be monitored over time to assess responsiveness to genotoxic therapy.

Abstract: The present invention discloses c-MYC-siRNA formulation as a potential therapeutic target for cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer. It is disclosed targeting c-MYC with small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line inducing a significant cell growth arrest and inhibition of cell proliferation. Apoptosis and arrest of cell cycle progression were also observed after c-MYC-siRNA-based silencing of c-MYC. Furthermore, delivering nanoliposomal c-MYC-siRNA, decreased tumor weight and number of tumor nodules compared with a liposomal-negative control siRNA.

Abstract: Disclosed are nanoparticles for the delivery of a therapeutic agent or a diagnostic agent to a subject that include a chitosan and a polyphosphate, wherein the chitosan nanoparticles are coated with polylactic acid. Methods of delivering a therapeutic agent or a diagnostic agent to a subject for the treatment or prevention of a disease are also disclosed. For example, the treatment of ovarian cancer in a subject by inhibiting the expression of ZNF034 is disclosed.

Abstract: Provided herein are lipid-based nanoparticles (e.g., exosomes) having (a) a core comprising a cationic polymer and a therapeutic agent (e.g., a therapeutic protein, an antibody, an inhibitory RNA, and/or a small molecule drug) and (b) a lipid coating comprising an exosomes-derived membrane. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods of producing such nanoparticles as well as methods for use of such lipid-based nanoparticles in therapy.
