DATA
Figure 1. Intranasal administration of Lungs In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with 2 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA following the recommended protocol (PDF). Tissues (liver, brain, kidney, tumor, heart, spleen, lung, and pancreas) were collected and RNA isolated 24 hours after administration. Samples were analyzed by qRT-PCR for Lamin A/C gene expression levels. Ribosomal RNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Data are means ± SD (n=8).
Figure 2. Aerosol administration of Lung In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with a) 100 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C, or b) No reatment control, or c) pDNA expressing Lamin A/C, following the recommended protocol. Tissues (homogenized lungs) were collected and total protein fraction isolated 72 hours after first injection. Samples were analyzed by Western Blot Analysis for Lamin A/C gene expression levels (n=7).
Aerosol delivery to the lungs is a non-invasive method of drug delivery that involves the use of inhalation devices to deliver therapeutic agents directly to the respiratory system. This approach is commonly used for the treatment of respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aerosol delivery to the lungs can be achieved through a variety of inhalation devices, including metered-dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and nebulizers. The size and shape of the aerosol particles can affect their deposition in the lungs, and achieving consistent and effective delivery can be difficult. Aerosol delivery to the lungs offers several advantages over other routes of drug administration. It allows for targeted delivery of the drug to the site of action in the respiratory system, reducing the potential for systemic side effects.
