Preparation of Targeted Anionic Lipid-Coated Polyplexes for MicroRNA Delivery

Methods Mol Biol. 2016:1445:201-13. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-3718-9_13.

Abstract

As nonviral nucleic acid delivery vehicles, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been widely used. Here we describe the synthesis and evaluation of LNPs based on targeted anionic lipid-coated polyplexs for therapeutic delivery of microRNA (miRNA) mimics. These LNPs are particularly suited for therapeutic delivery of oligonucleotide agents to leukemia cells.

Keywords: Anionic lipid; Lipid nanoparticles; Targeted delivery; microRNA delivery.
