WP 5: Target cell uptake and intracellular trafficking of
siRNA/pDNA nanoparticles
WP leader: Ghent
Laboratory of General Biochemistry
and Physical Pharmacy
Targeted Delivery of Nanomedicine
WP5 Objectives:
- Contribute to understand the intracellular behaviour of siRNA/pDNA nanoparticles in cancer and endothelial cells.
- Identify the most critical steps in delivery of siRNA/pDNA to target cells, depending on type of nanoparticles.
- Use this knowledge to design nanocarriers in WP1/WP3 for succesfull in vivo delivery of nucleic acids to cancer and endothelial cells.

Month 24 Month 25
D62.1 (a) Documented information on the extent of cellular uptake of dextran nanogels (“naked” i.e. not yet coated) by cancer and endothelial cells and on whether the uptake should be enhanced by the use of target moieties. (b) An answer to the question whether dextran nanogels sufficiently spontaneously escape from the endosomes or whether this should be enhanced by an appropriate coating (see WP1). (c) A view on whether PCI enhances the endosomal escape of the nanogels. (d) A view on the degradation of nanogels in the cytosol and whether intact siRNA is released (Task 5.1, Months 24, 36, Responsibility: GHENT)
