چکیده
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has been chemically conjugated to a variety of bioactive molecules, lipids, polymers, peptides, and inorganic nanostructured materials to enhance their pharmacokinetic behavior, cellular uptake, target specificity, and safety. To efficiently deliver siRNAs to the target cells and tissues, many different siRNA bioconjugates were synthesized and characterized, and their gene silencing efficiencies were tested in vitro and in vivo. In this review, recent developments of siRNA bioconjugates are summarized.

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are ideal accessory cells in the field of gene therapy. Delivery of DNA and siRNA into mammalian cells is a useful technique in treating various diseases caused by single gene defects. Selective gene silencing by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN)s is an efficient method for the manipulation of cellular functions. An effic...

Objective(s): P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux protein, the overexpression of which has been associated with multidrug resistance in various cancers. Although siRNA delivery to reverse P-gp expression may be promising for sensitizing of tumor cells to cytotoxic drugs, the therapeutic use of siRNA requires effective carriers that can deliver siRNA intracellularly with minimal toxicity on targe...

متن کاملTargeted delivery of anti-coxsackievirus siRNAs using ligand-conjugated packaging RNAs.
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a common pathogen of myocarditis. We previously synthesized a siRNA targeting the CVB3 protease 2A (siRNA/2A) gene and achieved reduction of CVB3 replication by 92% in vitro. However, like other drugs under development, CVB3 siRNA faces a major challenge of targeted delivery. In this study, we investigated a novel approach to deliver CVB3 siRNAs to a specific cell po...
