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.

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. Following 72 hours post first injection, the liver and pancreas 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.

Biological replicates (n=5). P-value < 0.01
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).
