Countless trials of chemotherapy and/or targeted agent combinations have failed to produce substantial gains in survival for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Recent studies have demonstrated exciting potential of RNA medicine approaches to therapeutically target microRNAs (miRNA, small non-coding RNAs) either by inhibiting tumor promoting miRNAs (onco-miRs) or enriching tumor suppressor miRNAs. Here we use co-culture and murine models to show that photodynamic therapy (PDT) using verteporfin both improves delivery and synergizes mechanistically with tumor suppressive effects of miR-146a-5p. These results indicate promise RNA medicine strategies for PDAC and could have broader applicability in therapeutic delivery of RNA medicine to solid tumors.
