Output Type tumor growth inhibition (relative tumor volume, day 18)
Output Value RTV 235 ± 49% (EGFR-siRNA PPP-NPs with NIR)
Output Units
Output Notes EGFR-siRNA dose 20 µg/kg (NP dose 1.2 mg/kg), injected every other day ×5. NIR light (740 nm, 50 J/cm^2, 30 min) applied to tumor 4 h after final injection for half of PPP-NP group. Strongest tumor accumulation in biodistribution imaging and strongest antitumor efficacy among tested groups; EGFR mRNA/protein reduced in tumors and TUNEL staining showed apoptosis. Encapsulation efficiency ~87%.
Toxicity Notes No remarkable body weight changes among groups during treatment; NIR regimen chosen to avoid burning (tumor temperature increase <1°C).
