Several ncRNA-based therapeutics exist, including siRNAs, shRNAs, sgRNAs, therapeutic lncRNAs, miRNA mimics and miR inhibitors (a). These therapeutic ncRNAs can be delivered by some vectors, including PAE, PEG, lentivirus, adenovirus and plasmids, and can also be administered in the forms of ASO-lncRNAs, miR agomirs, and miR antagomirs to play a therapeutic role (b). ncRNA-based therapy has been shown to be effective in cell-derived xenograft (CDX) models, including subcutaneous, orthotopic and metastatic models (c). ncRNA-based therapy has been shown to be effective in patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models (d). Lnc00958 sponges miR3619-5p in HCC, leading to the upregulation of hepatoma-derived growth factor and thereby promoting HCC adipogenesis and progression. In the PDX model, the weight and volume of the xenografts were significantly reduced after tail vein injection of PLGA-PEG (si-LINC00958) NPs (e).
