Research Abstract |
siRNA is considered to be a potential therapeutic tool for cancer. To realize siRNA therapy, brilliant DDS carriers should be essential. Therefore, we developed efficient carriers by controlling intracellular trafficking of carriers and release of siRNA in cytosol. Fusogenic peptide accelerated the endosomal escape of the carrier, resulting in enhanced gene knockdown in vitro and in vivo. The superior polycation which exhibited higher activity than the conventional was successfully discovered through screening.
