Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration not separately reported; vector/siRNA polyplex prepared by N/P ratio
Rna Concentration 1 µg siRNA per well
Mixing Ratio N/P ratio 10:1 for functional in vitro and in vivo assays
Formulation Format Targeted nanoparticle/siRNA polyplex
Formulation Components Bcl-2 siRNA complexed with {(Au0)25-PEI-(PEG-RGD)10-mPEG10} PENPs; PEGylated PEI, PEGylated RGD, mPEG, entrapped Au NPs.
Size Nm 24.20
Zeta Mv 7.00
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells U87MG human glioblastoma/glioma cells overexpressing αvβ3 integrin
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Cellular uptake by flow cytometry/confocal microscopy; Bcl-2 protein knockdown by western blot
Output Value Targeted Au PENP/Bcl-2 siRNA reduced Bcl-2 protein expression to 22% of control in vitro.
Output Units
Output Notes Cy3-siRNA uptake was confirmed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy; RGD-targeted vector showed higher uptake than non-targeted Au PENP and produced strongest Bcl-2 knockdown.
Toxicity Notes CCK-8 showed non-compromised U87MG viability even up to 3000 nM Au PENP/siRNA polyplex; RGD-targeted vector was more cytocompatible than PEI/siRNA.
