Short interfering RNA (siRNA) induced RNA interference (RNAi) responses allow for discovery research and performing large scale screening; however, due to their size and anionic charge, siRNAs have no bioavailability to enter cells. Current approaches fail to deliver siRNAs into a high percentage of primary cells in a non-cytotoxic fashion. Here we report an efficient siRNA delivery approach that utilizes a Peptide Transduction Domain-dsRNA Binding Domain (PTD-DRBD) fusion protein. DRBDs bind to siRNAs with high avidity, masking the siRNA negative charge and allow for PTD-mediated cellular uptake. PTD-DRBD delivered siRNAs induced rapid RNAi responses in a non-cytotoxic manner in the entire cell population of primary and transformed cells, including T cells, HUVECs and hESCs. Whole genome microarray analysis showed minimal transcriptional changes by PTD-DRBD and we did not detect any innate immune responses in PBMCs. Thus, PTD-DRBD mediated siRNA delivery allows efficient RNAi manipulation of difficult primary cell types.
