Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to knockdown lung tissue specific Keap1 mRNA using GALA-MEND containing Keap1 siRNA, but it was difficult to achieve its knockdown with good efficiency and specificity to the lung tissue. Then, we tried to improve the function of GALA-MEND by PEGylation. As a result, PEGylated GALA-MEND showed better accumulation to lung endothelial cells. This improved GALA-MEND is thought to be promising for future research.
