C12-200 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Immunity. 2023 Jan 10;56(1):180-192.e11. [Abstract]
In hepatoma-bearing mice, intraperitoneal injection of liposomes to specifically deliver IL10RA siRNA to macrophages every 3 days effectively suppressed the expression of IL10RA and CD209B. For developing siRNA-loaded liposomes, a lipid mixture composed of cationic lipid C12-200, cholesterol, DSPC, and mPEG2000-DMG were dissolved in ethanol at a molar ratio of 50:38.5:10:1.5. Thereafter, the siRNA in 10 mM sodium citrate was added to the lipid mixture at a weight ratio of 1 : 7.5 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min. The unentrapped siRNA was removed by ultrafiltration centrifugation. Encapsulation efficiency of the prepared liposomes was over 95%. The siRNA-loaded liposomes were used for in vivo experiments after being diluted with PBS.
