Folic Acid–Modified miR-491-5p–Loaded ZIF-8 Nanoparticles Inhibit Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer by Regulating the Expression of EPHX1
Epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) has been reported to be related to the development of several tumors. However, the regulation of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) development by EPHX1 has not been reported. We used proteomic technology and found that the EPHX1 protein was highly expressed in C...

Epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) has been reported to be related to the development of several tumors.

We used proteomic technology and found that the EPHX1 protein was highly expressed in CRPC tissues and the CRPC cell line C4-2. We performed screening and found that EPHX1 is a direct target of miR-491-5p. High miR-491-5p expression significantly reduced the EPHX1 level in C4-2 cells and inhibited C4-2 cell proliferation and migration. Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has good thermal stability, a simple synthesis method, tumor site stability, and specific acid responsiveness.
