Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising tool for gene therapy-based disease treatments. However, delivery of siRNA to the target cells requires a specific and reliable carrier system. Herein we describe a targeted carrier system that can deliver siRNA to cancer cells overexpressing the human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptor. Trastuzumab-conjugated poly(amido)amine dendrimers can be synthesized using the protocols described here.
小干扰RNA(siRNA)是基于基因治疗的疾病治疗中有前景的工具。然而,将siRNA递送至靶细胞需要特定且可靠的载体系统。在此,我们描述了一种靶向载体系统,其能够将siRNA递送至过表达人表皮生长因子2(HER2)受体的癌细胞。使用本文所述的方案可以合成曲妥珠单抗偶联的聚(酰胺)胺树枝状大分子。
