Previously, we successfully conjugated galactosylated poly(ethylene glycol) (Gal-PEG) to oligonucleotides (ODNs) via an acid labile ester linker (Zhu et al., Bioconjug Chem, 2008, 19: 290-8). In this study, antisense strands of siRNA were conjugated to Gal-PEG and mannose 6-phosphate poly(ethylene glycol) (M6P-PEG) for targeted delivery of siRNAs to hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), respectively. These siRNA conjugates were purified by ion exchange chromatography and verified by gel retardation assay. To evaluate their RNAi functions, the validated siRNA duplexes targeting firefly luciferase and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) mRNA were conjugated to Gal-PEG and M6P-PEG, and their gene silencing efficiencies were determined after transfection into HepG2 and HSC-T6 cells. Disulfide bond between PEG and siRNA was cleaved by dithiothreitol, leading to the release of intact siRNA. Both Gal-PEG-siRNA and M6P-PEG-siRNA conjugates could silence luciferase gene expression for about 40% without any transfection reagents, while the gene silencing effects reached more than 98% with the help of cationic liposomes at the same dose. Conjugation of TGF-β1 siRNA with Gal-PEG and M6P-PEG could silence endogenous TGF-β1 gene expression as well. In conclusion, these siRNA conjugates have the potential for targeted delivery of siRNAs to hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells for efficient gene silencing in vivo.
