Therapeutic effects of nanoparticles loaded with combined sense and anti-sense of EpoR plasmids to enhance angiogenesis
Key Takeaways
  • PLGA nanoparticles were fabricated to co-deliver EpoR sense and antisense plasmids to ischemic cells.
  • Dual-plasmid nanoparticles increased cell migration 3.7-fold versus EpoR-only nanoparticles in vitro.
  • In a peripheral arterial disease animal model, dual-plasmid nanoparticles improved limb perfusion 3.8-fold and raised capillary density 4.7-fold versus VEGF treatment.
