Peptide Concentration
Rna Concentration
Mixing Ratio Polypeptide/siRNA weight ratio = 20 used for intracardial efficacy injections (P-Ben/siRAGE); imaging/uptake comparisons used w/w=15 for Cy3-siRNA.
Formulation Format Helical polypeptide/siRNA polyplexes by simple mixing and incubation
Formulation Components Intramyocardial injection polyplex: P-Ben/siRAGE (w/w=20) at 150 µg siRNA/kg; prepared by mixing and 30 min incubation.
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model Male Sprague–Dawley rats (myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury via LAD ligation)
Administration Route Intramyocardial injection (below LAD site) 10 min after reperfusion
Output Type in vivo functional knockdown + phenotypic benefit
Output Value ~84–85% RAGE mRNA knockdown at 24 h; reduced TNF-α and IL-6; reduced infarct size (~6.9%), fibrosis (~11.8%), apoptosis (~12.9%); improved EF/FS near normal.
Output Units
Output Notes Rat myocardial IR model (LAD ligation 40 min + reperfusion). Intramyocardial injection 10 min post reperfusion: polyplexes at 150 µg siRNA/kg (50 µL/rat).
Toxicity Notes Histology indicates reduced damage vs controls; no acute toxicity signals reported for P-Ben at used dose.
