All-in-one target-cell-specific magnetic nanoparticles for simultaneous molecular imaging and siRNA delivery.
Cancer-cell-targeted gene silencing was observed with a magnetic-nanoparticle platform (MEIO, magnetism-engineered iron oxide) on which a fluorescent dye, siRNA, and a RGD-peptide targeting moiety were attached (see picture). The different functionalities enable the macroscopic (magnetic resonance) and microscopic (fluorescence) imaging of target cells. This system may be suitable for concurren...
متن کاملRedox-responsive, reversibly-crosslinked thiolated cationic helical polypeptides for efficient siRNA encapsulation and delivery.
Cationic helical polypeptides, although highly efficient for inducing membrane penetration, cannot stably condense siRNA molecules via electrostatic interactions, which greatly limit the gene knockdown efficiency. By developing and crosslinking the thiolated polypeptide via formation of disulfide bonds post formation of the polypeptide/siRNA complexes, we were able to obtain stable complexes wi...
متن کاملHypoxia-responsive ionizable liposome delivery siRNA for glioma therapy
Here, we report the hypoxia-responsive ionizable liposomes to deliver small interference RNA (siRNA) anticancer drugs, which can selectively enhance cellular uptake of the siRNA under hypoxic and low-pH conditions to cure glioma. For this purpose, malate dehydrogenase lipid molecules were synthesized, which contain nitroimidazole groups that impart hypoxia sensitivity and specificity as hydroph...
متن کاملLateral Tension-Induced Penetration of Particles into a Liposome
It is important that we understand the mechanism of the penetration of particles into a living cell to achieve advances in bionanotechnology, such as for treatment, visualization within a cell, and genetic modification. Although there have been many studies on the application of functional particles to cells, the basic mechanism of penetration across a biological membrane is still poorly unders...
متن کاملEfficient delivery of Notch1 siRNA to SKOV3 cells by cationic cholesterol derivative-based liposome
A novel cationic cholesterol derivative-based small interfering RNA (siRNA) interference strategy was suggested to inhibit Notch1 activation in SKOV3 cells for the gene therapy of ovarian cancer. The cationic cholesterol derivative, N-(cholesterylhemisuccinoyl-amino-3-propyl)-N, N-dimethylamine (DMAPA-chems) liposome, was incubated with siRNA at different nitrogen-to-phosphate ratios to form st...
