Inhibition of pancreatic cancer growth by an siRNA targeting SNORA22 and a folic acid-conjugated cationic oligopeptide.
Article in Human cell, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The development of effective small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is severely hindered by formidable physiological barriers restricting systemic stability. To address these critical challenges, we developed an advanced actively targeted drug delivery system (DDS) utilizing a novel regioisomer of a folic acid-conjugated L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid octamer (FA-Dab8α) complexed with strategically chemically modified siRNA targeting the oncogenic small nucleolar RNA SNORA22. Although SNORA22 represents a potent therapeutic target for suppressing PDAC invasion and metastasis, achieving robust in vivo efficacy requires highly optimized delivery vehicles. In this study, we systematically evaluated the structural impacts of ligand conjugation, demonstrating that the α-regioisomer (FA-Dab8α) spontaneously optimizes polyplex packing to achieve remarkably superior cellular uptake, lysosomal trafficking, and target gene knockdown over its γ-counterpart. Furthermore, the strategic incorporation of phosphorothioate linkages and 2'-O-methyl modifications conferred exceptional RNase resistance, maintaining payload stability within the bloodstream. The therapeutic potential of this optimized platform was evaluated in a clinically relevant preclinical mouse model established with human PDAC cell line-derived organoids. Systemic administration of the SNORA22 siRNA-FA-Dab8α complex resulted in profound tumor accumulation within 24 h and induced unprecedented tumor growth inhibition that significantly outperformed the clinical standard chemotherapy, gemcitabine plus paclitaxel (GP). Histopathological analysis revealed marked tumor necrosis and a drastic reduction in surrounding tissue infiltration, with zero detectable systemic toxicity in vital organs. These findings demonstrate that the precise structural optimization of ligand-modified oligopeptide carriers enables highly efficient oligonucleotide delivery, establishing the SNORA22 siRNA-FA-Dab8α complex as a powerful and highly promising clinical strategy for refractory pancreatic cancer.
