摘要
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) shows great therapeutic potential due to its ability to regulate gene expression in a highly selective manner. However, its application has been limited by ineffective cellular uptake of siRNAs. To achieve successful gene-silencing efficiency, a safe and effective delivery vector is generally required. In this study, we designed a series of amphipathic peptides that comprised a variant of a nuclear localization sequence, 0-6 histidine residues and an optional stearic acid group. Among these candidates, STR-HK exhibited good characteristics as a safe and efficient siRNA delivery vector, facilitating efficient siRNA delivery to mammalian cells without causing cytotoxicity. Moreover, the intratumoral injection of STR-HK/siRNA complexes achieved high anti-tumor activity through the downregulation of the Bcl-2 protein in mice, with an inhibition rate of 62.8%. Our data demonstrate that STR-HK is a highly promising siRNA delivery vector for therapeutic applications. (C) 2015 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
