Here, we describe a method for tracking intracellular processing of small interfering RNA (siRNA) containing complexes using automated microscopy controls and image acquisition to minimize user effort and time. This technique uses fluorescence colocalization to monitor dual-labeled fluorescent siRNAs delivered by silica nanoparticles in different intracellular locations, including the early/late endosomes, fast/slow recycling endosomes, lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. Combining the temporal association of siRNAs with each intracellular location, we reconstructed the intracellular pathways used in siRNA processing, and demonstrate how these pathways vary based on the chemical composition of the delivery vehicle.
