Intracellular delivery of siRNAs mediated by ultrasound targeted microbubbles destruction and biodegradable nanoparticles carriers / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the intracellular delivery of siRNAs through the applications of ultrasound targeted microbubbles destruction(UTMD)and biodegradable nanoparticles carriers.Methods Preparation of nanoparticles with and without RGD sequences,parameters optimization via L16(45)orthogonal design,control experiments in groups of optimization,RGD targeted nanoparticles,non-RGD nanoparticles and blank control, and determinations by inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were performed.Results The uptake and fluorescence intensity of PC-3 cells in group of RGD targeted nanoparticle was (93.49±1.37)% and 34.28±2.06 respectively,and that in group of optimization was (88.33±1.24)% and 30.59±3.93 respectively(P＞0.05).Whereas the uptake and fluorescence intensity of PC-3 cells in group of non-RGD nanoparticles was(71.24±2.80)% and 18.39±0.90 respectively,and that in group of optimization was (84.78±2.13)% and 27.18±0.91 respectively(P＜0.05).ConclusionsThe applications of UTMD with RGD targted nanoparticles cannot increase the intracellular delivery of siRNAs.
