a The scheme for CS-TPP-siHAT1 preparation. 250 ug siHAT1 was added into 1 mg tripolyphosphate (TPP) solution. Then, the above mixture solution was added into 5 mg chitosan (CS) solution dropwise and stirring slowly for 30 min to prepare the CS-TPP-siHAT1.TPP tripolyphosphate, CS chitosan. b Different magnifications TEM images of CS-TPP-siHAT1. c The cellular uptake confocal images of CS-TPP-siRNA in PANC-1, BxPC-3, and MIA-PaCa cells. d PANC-1, BxPC-3, and MIA-PaCa cells were treated with different CS-TPP-siHAT1 concentration (10 μM, 20 μM, 50 μM) for 3 days. The cells were harvested to extract total protein and RNA respectively, and then RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to analyzed HAT1, PVT1, and EZH2 expression level. All data were shown as mean values ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. e PANC-1, BxPC-3, and MIA-PaCa cells were treated with 20 μM CS-TPP-siHAT1 for different time (0 days, 1 days, 2 days, 3 days). The cells were harvested to extract total protein and RNA, respectively, and then RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to analyzed HAT1, PVT1, and EZH2 expression level. All data were shown as mean values ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
