Output Notes Uptake measured by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy using FAM-siRNA (75 nM for flow, 225 nM for confocal). PPP-NPs required both NIR pretreatment (740 nm, 50 J/cm^2, 30 min) and acidic medium (pH 6.0) for high uptake. Endosomal/lysosomal escape shown by LysoTracker colocalization at 0.5 h and cytosolic siRNA at 2 h after transfection (after 4 h incubation). EGFR-siRNA delivered by PPP-NPs (NIR, pH 6.0) reduced EGFR mRNA/protein and induced apoptosis. Encapsulation efficiency ~87% for all NP formulations.
