DATA
Brain transfection. Delivery of RNA and DNA biomolecules into the mouse brain tissue and glioblastoma brain tumor.
Figure 1. Systemic administration (i.v.) of Nanoparticle In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with 80 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or scrambled sequence non-silencing siRNA control (or pDNA expression vector encoding Lamin A) and following the recommended transfection protocol. Nanoparticle conjugated RNA/DNA complexes were injected at constant pressure into the tail veins of NOD/SCID mice (orthotopic glioblastoma xenograft model developed by Altogen Labs). Following 72 hours post first injection, the brain and brain tumor tissues were homogenized and lysed in RIPA Buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail. High sensitivity BCA protein assay was used to normalize the protein concentration from each individual sample. Quantitative immunoblotting was performed to analyze for the change in Lamin A expression levels using the automated western blot system WES (Protein Simple; San Jose, CA). Images acquired with the contrast set to white −100 and black 4000 for standardization. Mice treated with scrambled non-silencing siRNA served as controls. Statistical data analysis were conducted using Compass software. Technical replicates (n=10). Biological replicates (n=5). P-value < 0.01
Figure 2. Intravenous administration of Nanoparticle In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with 80 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or scrambled sequence non-silencing siRNA control (or pDNA expression vector encoding Lamin A) and following the recommended transfection protocol. Nanoparticle conjugated RNA/DNA complexes were injected at constant pressure into the tail veins of NOD/SCID mice. Following 72 hours post first injection, the spleen and kidney tissues were homogenized and lysed in RIPA Buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail. High sensitivity BCA protein assay was used to normalize the protein concentration from each individual sample. Quantitative immunoblotting was performed to analyze for the change in expression of Lamin A using the automated western blot WES system. Images acquired with the contrast set to white −100 and black 4000 for standardization. Statistical data analysis were conducted using Compass software. Technical replicates (n=10). Biological replicates (n=5). P-value < 0.01

Intravenous administration of Nanoparticle In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with 80 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or scrambled sequence non-silencing siRNA control (or pDNA expression vector encoding Lamin A) and following the recommended transfection protocol. Nanoparticle conjugated RNA/DNA complexes were injected at constant pressure into the tail veins of NOD/SCID mice. Following 72 hours post first injection, the lung and heart tissues were homogenized and lysed in RIPA Buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail. High sensitivity BCA protein assay was used to normalize the protein concentration from each individual sample. Quantitative immunoblotting was performed to analyze for the change in expression of Lamin A using the automated western blot WES system.

Figure 4. Intravenous administration of Nanoparticle In Vivo Transfection Reagent conjugated with 80 ug of chemically modified siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or scrambled sequence non-silencing siRNA control (or pDNA expression vector encoding Lamin A) and following the recommended transfection protocol. Nanoparticle conjugated RNA/DNA complexes were injected at constant pressure into the tail veins of NOD/SCID mice.

Figure 5. Systemic administration (i.v.) of Nanoparticle-based In Vivo reagent conjugated with siRNA targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA following the recommended protocol. Tissues were collected and RNA isolated 48 hours after post first injection. 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=6).

Use of nanoparticles for in vivo transfection
Nanoparticles have emerged as a promising platform for targeted drug delivery and tissue engineering. Nanoparticles effective for in vivo delivery are typically 1 – 20 nanometers in size and can be engineered to interact with specific cells or tissues, allowing for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. In tissue engineering, nanoparticles can be used to promote the growth and differentiation of cells in a three-dimensional environment. For example, they can be incorporated into scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix of specific tissues, providing cues to cells that encourage them to differentiate into the desired cell type. Additionally, nanoparticles can be functionalized with specific ligands to target specific cells and tissues, improving the efficacy of tissue engineering strategies. In targeted drug delivery, nanoparticles are designed to accumulate in specific tissues, allowing for precise delivery of therapeutic agents. Also, nanoparticles can be coated with ligands that bind to receptors on the surface of cancer cells, allowing for targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs.
