LNPs were formulated by mixing an aqueous phase containing mRNA or DNA with an ethanol phase containing ionizable lipids and excipients using a microfluidic chip device54 (link). Specifically, the ethanol phase contained a mixture of an ionizable lipid (C12–200, synthesized as previously described67 ), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE, Avanti Polar Lipids, 850725P), cholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich, C8667), and 1,2-dimyristoylsn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethyleneglycol)-2000] (ammonium salt) (C14-PEG 2000, Avanti Polar Lipids, 880150P) at predetermined molar ratios shown in Table 1. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry data for the ionizable lipid were shown in Fig. S4. The aqueous phase was prepared in 10 mM citrate, pH 3.0 buffer (Teknova, Q2445) with either in-house synthesized b-mRNA, Luciferase mRNA (Trilink Biotechnologies), or b-DNA (Integrated DNA Technologies). Syringe pumps were used to perfuse the ethanol and aqueous phases at a 3:1 ratio through the microfluidic device54 (link). The resulting LNPs were dialyzed against PBS in a 20,000 MWCO cassette at room temperature for 2 hours and then extruded through a 0.22 μm sterile filter (Genesee Scientific, 25243).

12 siRNAs targeting mouse Eef2 gene sequence with the lowest off-target potential were designed as described previously33 (link). siRNAs were synthesized and chemical modifications (modified bases (2′OMe) and phosphorothioate linkages) were introduced to stabilize siRNA in-vivo reducing the off-target potential of the sense strand and minimize immune response (Supplementary Table S3). siRNAs screened in Hepa 1–6 cell line. Cells were transfected with siRNA using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen). siRNA with the lowest IC50 (determined by western blot and qPCR) was selected for further in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. Selected siRNA was formulated into lipid nanoparticles. The water phase contained siRNA duplex and ethanol phases with lipids (C12-200, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC, Avanti Polar Lipids), cholesterol (Sigma), C14 PEG 2000 (Avanti Polar Lipids) at a 50:10:38.5:1.5 molar ratio) were mixed together in a microfluidic chip device.

Eight siRNAs targeting mouse HAS2 gene sequence with the lowest off-target potential were designed. siRNAs were synthesised and chemically modified (methylated pyrimidine nucleotides (2′OMe) and phosphorothioate linkages) to stabilise siRNA in vivo, reducing the off-target potential of the sense strand and minimise the immune response (Supplementary Table S1). NIH 3T3 cells were transfected with siRNAs using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) to test the knockdown efficiency by qPCR for each siRNA. The siRNA with the highest potency and the lowest IC50 was selected for further experiments. The selected siRNA was formulated into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Briefly, the water phase contained siRNA duplex and ethanol phase with lipids (C12-200, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC, Avanti Polar Lipids), cholesterol (Sigma), C14 PEG 2000 (Avanti Polar Lipids) at a 50:10:38.5:1.5 molar ratio) was mixed in a microfluidic PDMS chip.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
