Popis: Ovarian cancers highly overexpress folate receptor α (FRα) and claudin3 (CLDN3), both of which are associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis of patients. Downregulation of FRα and CLDN3 in ovarian cancer may suppress tumor growth and promote benign differentiation of tumor. In this study, F-P-LP/CLDN3, a FRα targeted liposome loading with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting CLDN3 was prepared and the pharmaceutical properties were characterized. Then, the antitumor effect of F-P-LP/CLDN3 was studied in an in vivo model of advanced ovarian cancer. Compared with Control, F-P-LP/CLDN3 promoted benign differentiation of tumor and achieved about 90% tumor growth inhibition. In the meantime, malignant ascites production was completely inhibited, and tumor nodule number and tumor weight were significantly reduced (p
