CRGD Peptide-conjugated Polyethylenimine-based Lipid Nanoparticle for Intracellular Delivery of SiRNA in Hepatocarcinoma Therapy
Overview

The effective delivery system plays an important role in the application of siRNA in the antitumor study. However, until now, researches on the delivery systems targeting hepatocarcinoma cells are still being explored. Here we designed and prepared a novel siRNA delivery system, cRGD-PSH-NP, which was based on a modified polyethyleneimine (PSH) and DSPE-PEG-cRGD. cRGD-PSH-NP loaded with survivin siRNA (cRGD-PSH-NP/S) was composed of egg phosphatidylcholine, cationic PSH, PEGylated lipids, survivin siRNA, and cRGD peptide as a targeting ligand. The formulations of cRGD-PSH-NP/S were optimized and characterized. investigations showed excellent gene silencing and antitumor activity compared with the unmodified nanoparticles in HepG2 cells. antitumor efficacy of cRGD-PSH-NP/S exhibited potent tumor inhibition (74.71%) in HepG2-bearing nude mice without inducing toxicity. These data suggested further research of cRGD-PSH-NP/S in hepatocarcinoma therapy.
