Chitosan (CS) surface-modified poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanospheres (NS) for a siRNA delivery system were evaluated in vitro siRNA-loaded PLGA NS were prepared by an emulsion solvent diffusion (ESD) method. and the physicochemical properties of NS were investigated. The level of targeted protein expression and siRNA uptake were examined in A549 cells CS-modified PLGA NS exhibited much higher encapsulation efficiency than unmodified PLGA NS (plain-PLGA NS) CS-modified PLGA NS showed a positive zeta potential, while plain-PLGA NS were negatively charged siRNA uptake studies by observation with confocal leaser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that siRNA-loaded CS-modified PLGA NS were more effectively taken up by the cells than plain-PLGA NS The efficiencies of different siRNA preparations were compared at the level of targeted protein expression The gene-silencing efficiency of CS-modified PLGA NS was higher and more prolonged than those of plain-PLGA NS and naked siRNA This result correlated with the CLSM studies, which may have been due to higher cellular uptake of CS-modified PLGA NS clue to electrostatic interactions It was concluded that CS-modified PLGA NS containing siRNA could provide an effective siRNA delivery system (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved
