The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a functionalized layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled film entrapped with oxaliplatin (OX) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) siRNA in the localized treatment of colon cancer. The LbL film was prepared by the sequential layering of chitosan (CS) and alginate to attain desired physical and mechanical properties. The film was functionalized by coating folic acid-conjugated CS on one side. On the other side, polycaprolactone was coated as a backing layer to provide directional drug release. OX was entrapped within the layers of the film, while STAT3 siRNA was complexed with CS to form nanoparticles before entrapment in the LbL film. The CS–siRNA nanoparticles were taken up by the colon carcinoma, Caco-2 cells within 3 h and provided concentration-dependent reduction in STAT3 protein expression. The functionalized LbL film (F-LbL film) selectively adhered to the colon cancer tissue in the mice model, whereas the nonfunctionalized film adhered to the normal colon tissue. The combination of OX and STAT3 siRNA provided significantly greater tumor regression, survival rate, and STAT3 protein suppression after localized delivery through oral administration compared with intravenous administration. Taken together, the F-LbL film can selectively bind to colon tumors for localized delivery of drugs to treat colon cancer.
