Expression of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins in MP-38 cells after the treatment with Chi/siRNA complexes and DF-siRNA (A) under hypoxia conditions. Semi-quantification results of HIF-1α (B) and VEGF (C) protein expression in MP-38 cells after treated with the siRNA complexes. MP-38 cells without any treatment and grown under hypoxia conditions were used as a control. Statistical analysis comparing HIF-1α siRNA loaded complexes (with or without HA coating) with DF-HIF-1α siRNA composite. *p<0.05; **p<0.01. GAPDH housekeeping gene was used as an internal control in the quantification of target gene expression.
