Controlling fibrous capsule formation through long-term down-regulation of collagen type I (COL1A1) expression by nanofiber-mediated siRNA gene silencing by Rujitanaroj, Pim-On, Jao, Brian, Yang, Junghoon, Wang, Feng, Anderson, James M., Wang, Jun, Chew, Sing Yian

“…By encapsulating complexes of COL1A1 siRNA with a transfection reagent (Transit TKO) or the cell penetrating peptides CADY or MPG within the nanofibers (550–650 nm in diameter), a sustained release of siRNA was obtained for at least 28 days (loading efficiency ∼60–67%). Scaffold-mediated transfection significantly enhanced cellular uptake of oligonucleotides and prolonged in vitro gene silencing duration by at least 2–3 times as compared to conventional bolus delivery of siRNA (14 days vs. 5–7 days by bolus delivery). …”
