Nonviral delivery of synthetic siRNAs in vivo.
Sequence-specific gene silencing using small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a Nobel prize-winning technology that is now being evaluated in clinical trials as a potentially novel therapeutic strategy. This article provides an overview of the major pharmaceutical challenges facing siRNA therapeutics, focusing on the delivery strategies for synthetic siRNA duplexes in vivo, as this remains one of the...
متن کاملTopic Introduction Nonviral Gene Delivery
Modern cell biology increasingly relies on molecular tools to facilitate the study of cellular processes. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify almost any gene, and fluorescent proteins that can be fused to any desired target protein, the number and scope of functional studies designed to determine the roles of protein...
متن کاملNonviral gene delivery: gemini bispyridinium surfactant-based DNA nanoparticles.
The interaction with a model membrane, the formation of DNA nanoparticles, and the transfection ability of a homologous series of bispyridinium dihexadecyl cationic gemini surfactants, differing in the length of the alkyl spacer bridging the two pyridinium polar heads in the 1 and 1' positions (P16-n with n = 3, 4, 8, 12), have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a...
متن کاملNonviral gene delivery to the liver
Diseases of the liver have a large impact on human health. Genetic disorders, metabolic disorders, alcoholism, cancer, or infections can all impair liver function. If serious enough, a liver transplant may be necessary, a major surgical procedure which requires life-long immune suppression and relies on the availability of donor livers. Gene therapy is being intensively studied as a potential m...
متن کاملLow-frequency vibration treatment of bone marrow stromal cells induces bone repair in vivo
Objective(s):To study the effect of low-frequency vibration on bone marrow stromal cell differentiation and potential bone repair in vivo. Materials and Methods:Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups with eight rabbits in each group. For each group, bone defects were generated in the left humerus of four rabbits, and in the right humerus of the other four rabbits. To t...
