Uptake of CLD/siRNA nanocomplexes by A375 cells and HeLa cells. (A and C) Flow cytometry analysis of fluorescence intensity cells treated with CLD/FAM-siRNA at 100 nM for 6 h. (B) A375 cells were incubated with cRGD peptide (15 μg/mL) or cRAD peptide (15 μg/mL) at 37°C for 30 min in the beginning, and then cellular uptake levels was measured by flow cytometry after cells treated with CLD/FAM-siRNA at 100 nM for 6 h. (D) Intracellular pathway investigation for four nanocomplexes in A375 cells. Channel ratio image of four nanocomplexes in cellular uptake (n=3).

Note: 3/3, 5/3, 5/5, 3/As, 5/As, siMB3 represent CLD/siRNA 20–25 (Table 2).

Abbreviations: CLD, cationic lipid material; siRNA, small interfering RNA; cRGD, cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Lys[PEG-MAL]) peptide; cRAD, cyclo(Arg-Ala-Asp-D-Phe-Lys[PEG-MAL]) peptide.
