Inhibition of murine bladder cancer cell growth in vitro by photocontrollable siRNA based on upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles.

This study provides a unique approach to activate caged small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) using indirect UV light emitted by the near-infrared (NIR)-to-UV upconversion process to achieve high spatial and temporal gene interference patterns. siRNA molecules against the anti-apoptotic gene survivin was...
