| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted this study to develop an extracorporeal siRNA transfection method during machine perfusion. Because siRNA could not be transfected under hypothermic condition and perfusion fluid without blood components was preferable as a carrier of siRNA, we achieved sub-normothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (20℃, 180min) in mouse liver transplantation model. We performed extracorporeal siRNA transfection on this mouse model, however, siRNA could not be introduced into liver grafts under such perfusion conditions. According to the results of donor siRNA transfection model, it was suggested that siRNA up-take activities of the liver grafts were not maintained at sufficient levels at 20℃.
