Abstract |
The delivery of SiRNA is not only a challenging strategy for developing new remedies, but is also useful as an analytic tool for an in vivo phenotypic alteration by loss-of-function. Specifically, ligand-mediated SiRNA active targeting can be used to silence any gene in any organ of interest. In this chapter, we describe the preparation of an active targeting system to tumor endothelial cells (TECs) using liposomal SiRNA modified with cyclic RGD peptides. The procedure consists of essentially three steps: (1) the synthesis of a cyclic RGD peptide derivative, (2) SiRNA encapsulation into a liposomal delivery system, and (3) modification of liposomal SiRNA with a cyclic RGD derivative. |
