Peptide Concentration
Rna Concentration 100 nM final siRNA (c-Myc or NC) for gene silencing assays; 4 h uptake assays used equivalent labeled cargo
Mixing Ratio CPP–siRNA prepared equimolar CPP:siRNA (6 µM each in synthesis); encapsulated in NBs (0.25 mg/mL siRNA during hydration); YSA-NB surface: DSPE-PEG2000-YSA + DSPE-PEG2000 (5:5 molar, total PEGylated lipid 10); DPPC/DSPC/PEGylated lipid = 90/10/10 (molar ratio); perfluorobutane (C3F8) gas core
Formulation Format CPP–siRNA/YSA-NB (+US)
Formulation Components CPP–siRNA conjugate (disulfide-linked; reducible by cytosolic GSH) encapsulated in YSA-modified nanobubbles (surface ligand: YSA (EphA2-targeting peptide) peptide)

Output Notes With ultrasound pre-treatment (1 MHz; Ispta 1 W/cm^2; 10 s on/10 s off for total 60 s), CPP–siRNA/YSA-NB showed the strongest c-Myc gene silencing and highest apoptosis among tested formulations in MCF-7 cells.
Toxicity Notes Blank NBs and ultrasound parameters showed no significant reduction in MCF-7 cell viability (MTT, supplementary).
