RNA interference with small interfering RNAs\u0000(siRNAs) has shown promise as an antiviral treatment.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We evaluated the effectiveness of lipid-based nanoparticles as a viable delivery platform\u0000for siRNA-based approach against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro infection.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Liposomes were fabricated by microfluidics to incorporate SARS-CoV-2-specific siRNAs\u0000based on conserved sections of the Spike protein coding sequence. Nanoparticle tracking analysis\u0000was used to evaluate the nanoparticles' physicochemical features. VERO cell lines infected with\u0000SARS-CoV-2 were used to test the efficiency of siRNA-loaded liposomes. RT-PCR was used to\u0000determine the viral load by quantifying the SARS-CoV-2 genome.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The results showed that liposomes efficiently decreased viral load in infected cells with\u0000good physicochemical features, such as a mean particle size of about 180 nm, zeta potential of +2.5\u0000mV and encapsulation efficiency (53.6%).\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000These findings imply that lipid-based nanoparticles might be a targeted delivery strategy\u0000for siRNA-based approaches.\u0000","PeriodicalId":504431,"journal":{"name":"Coronaviruses","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139966082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
