T14diLys/DOPE Liposomes: An Innovative Option for siRNA-Based Gene Knockdown?
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesBringing small interfering RNA (siRNA) into the cell cytosol to achieve specific gene silencing is an attractive but also very challenging option for improved therapies. The first step for successful siRNA delivery is the complexation with a permanent cationic or ionizable compound. This protects the negatively charged siRNA and enables transfection through the cell membrane. The current study explores the performance of the innovative, ionizable lipid 2-Tetradecylhexadecanoic acid-(2-bis{[2-(2,6-diamino-1-oxohexyl)amino]ethyl}aminoethyl)-amide (T14diLys), in combination with 1,2-dioleoyl-
methodsLiposomes were produced either with sonication or extrusion and characterized. The extruded liposomes were combined with siRNA at different N/P ratios and investigated in terms of size zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, lipoplex stability against RNase A, and knockdown efficiency using enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-marked colon adenocarcinoma cells.
resultsThe liposomes prepared by extrusion were smaller and had a narrower size distribution than the sonicated ones. The combination of siRNA and liposomes at a nitrogen-to-phosphate (N/P) ratio of 5 had optimal particle properties, high encapsulation efficiency, and lipoplex stability. Gene knockdown tests confirmed this assumption.
conclusionsLiposomes produced with extrusion were more reproducible and provided enhanced particle properties. The physicochemical characterization and in vitro experiments showed that an N/P ratio of 5 was the most promising ratio for siRNA delivery.
