The efficient protection against enzymatic or nonenzymatic degradation is particularly important for RNA molecules including siRNAs. In fact, while the therapeutic potential of siRNAs for the treatment of various diseases is in principle very promising, limitations of transfer vectors may turn out to be rate-limiting in the development of RNAi-based therapeutic strategies. Their ultimate success, however, will Figure 4 : Systemic treatment of mice with PEI-complexed HER-2-specific siRNAs leads to reduced growth of subcutaneous SKOV-3 tumor xenografts due to decreased HER-2 expression.
