Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) DLS analysis of the ROS–responsive disassembly of siRNA/ Fc-C 8 -AmD 8A nanoparticles (1.0 μM siRNA, N/P ratio of 10). ( B ) ROS–responsive siRNA delivery mediated by Fc-C 8 -AmD 8A in ROS–rich SKOV–3 cells and ROS–poor SKOV–3 cells (pretreated with antioxidant NAC) (50 nM siRNA, N/P ratio of 10). ( C ) mRNA and ( D ) protein expression of AKT2 determined by qRT–PCR and Western blot after treating with Fc-C 8 -AmD 8A with siAKT2 in comparison with control, siAKT2 alone, Fc-C 8 -AmD 8A alone, Fc-C 8 -AmD 8A with scrambled siRNA (50 nM siRNA, N/P ratio of 10). *** p ≤ 0.001 (mean ± SD, n = 3).
Article Snippet: The human AKT2 siRNA (forward primer: 5′–GCUCCUUCAUUGGGUACAAdTdT–3′; reverse primer: 5′–UAAUGUGCCCGUCCUUGUCdTdT–3′) and GAPDH (forward primer: 5′–AATCCCATCACCATCTTCCA–3′; reverse primer: 5′–TGGACTCCACGACGTACTCA–3′) were purchased from GenScript Biotech Corp. (Nanjing, China).
