Toxicity to main organs and local muscle tissue in vivo.

Notes: Measured by frozen section after systemic injection of saline, naked siRNA and complexes at a N/P ratio of 300 (A1C1, the saline control group; A2C2, the naked miR-221/222 group; A3C3, the PDAPEI/miR-221/222 group; A1A3, local right thigh muscle; B1B3, liver; C1C3, kidney. Scale bar, 100 μm; H&E staining, ×200).

Abbreviations: H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; PDAPEI, PEI (1.8 kDa, branched) derivative with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde (PDA) linkage; PEI, polyethylenimine; si RNA, short interfering RNA.
