Synopsis
Effective tumor delivery is a major challenge in achieving small interfering RNA (siRNA) mediated gene silencing. Poor tumor vascularization can limit the delivery of therapeutic siRNA. Here, we used a VEGF overexpression breast cancer murine model and its wildtype counterpart to investigate the influence of increasing tumor vasculature on choline kinase-alpha siRNA nanoparticle delivery.
