Core-Shell type lipid/rPAA-Chol polymer hybrid nanoparticles for in vivo siRNA delivery.
In this study, the core-shell type lipid/rPAA-Chol hybrid nanoparticles (PEG-LP/siRNA NPs and T7-LP/siRNA NPs) were developed for improving in vivo siRNA delivery by modifying the surface of rPAA-Chol/siRNA nanoplex core with a lipid shell, followed by post-insertion of polyethylene glycol phospholipid (DSPE-PEG) and/or peptide (HAIYPRH, named as T7) modified DSPE-PEG-T7. The integrative hybrid nanostructures of LP/siRNA NPs were evidenced by dynamic light scattering (DLS), confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), cryo-transmission electron microscope (Cryo-TEM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay. It was demonstr...

A biodegradable stearylated peptide with internal disulfide bonds for efficient delivery of siRNA in vitro and in vivo.
In this study, a stearyl-peptide (SHR) was synthesized using arginine, histidine, cysteine and stearyl moiety. Further, the stearyl-peptides were cross linked by disulfide bonds to obtain cross-linked polypeptides (SHRss) with different molecular weight (SHRss1, SHRss2, SHRss3, SHRss4). The SHRss could effectively condense small interfering RNA (siRNA) into polyplexes with a hydrodynamic size of 100-300 nm and zeta potential of 20-40 mV. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscope studies revealed high cellular uptake and rapid dissociation behavior of SHRss2/siRNA complexes. Long-lasting high concentration of si...

Effects of hydrophobic core components in amphiphilic PDMAEMA nanoparticles on siRNA delivery.
Abstract Due to their biodegradable character, polyesters such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA), and polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) were widely used as the hydrophobic cores of amphiphilic cationic nanoparticles (NPs) for siRNA delivery. However, fewer researches focused on facilitating siRNA delivery by adjusting the polyester composition of these nanoparticles. Herein, we investigated the contribution of polyester segments in siRNA delivery in vitro by introducing different ratio of DLLA moieties in PCL segments of mPEG-block-PCL-graft-poly(dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate)(PEG-b-PCL-g-P...

Positron Emission Tomography Studies of the Biodistribution, Translocation, and Fate of Poly Allyl Amine ‐Based Carriers for Sirna Delivery by Systemic and Intratumoral Administration.
Positron emission tomography is used to study the fate of polyplexes formed by siRNA and modified polyamines. Polyplexes are prepared with either radiolabeled siRNA or radiolabeled polyamines. By comparing biodistribution patterns of labeled siRNA and labeled polyamines conclusions are driven on the stability of the polyplexes in vivo. AbstractPolyamine-based vectors offer many advantages for gene therapy, but they are hampered by a limited knowledge on their biological fate and efficacy for nucleic acid delivery. The18F radiolabeled siRNA is complexed with poly(allyl amine) hydrochloride (PAH), PEGylated PAH (PAHPEG), or ...

Diatomite biosilica nanocarriers for siRNA transport inside cancer cells
Conclusion Our studies endorse diatomite nanoparticles as non-toxic nanocarriers for siRNA transport in cancer cells. General significance siRNA is a powerful molecular tool for cancer treatment but its delivery is inefficient due to the difficulty to penetrate the cell membrane. siRNA-diatomite nanoconjugate may be well suited for delivery of therapeutic to cancer cells.

Using Two-Fluid Nozzle for Spray Freeze Drying to Produce Porous Powder Formulation of Naked siRNA for Inhalation
In this study, we reported the use of two-fluid nozzle to produce spray freeze dried powder of small interfering RNA (siRNA). The effect of atomization gas flow rate and liquid feed rate were inspected initially using herring sperm DNA (hsDNA) as nucleic acid model. The atomization gas flow rate was found to have a major impact on the aerosol properties. The higher the atomization gas flow rate, the smaller the particle size, the higher the fine particle fraction (FPF). In contrast, the liquid feed rate had very minor effect. Subsequently, spray freeze dried siRNA powder was produced at various atomization gas flow rates. ...

Eco-friendly deacetylated chitosan base siRNA biological-nanopesticide loading cyromazine for efficiently controlling Spodoptera frugiperda
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Apr 24:124575. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124575. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpodoptera frugiperda is a serious threat to various crops, such as corn and rice, and results in severe economic losses. Herein, a chitin synthase sfCHS highly expressed in the epidermis of S. frugiperda was screened, and when interfered by an sfCHS-siRNA nanocomplex, most individuals could not ecdysis (mortality rate 53.3 %) or pupate (abnormal pupation 80.6 %). Based on the results of structure-based virtual screening, cyromazine (CYR, binding free energy -57.285 kcal/mol) could inhibit ecdysis (LC50, 19.599 μg/g...
