| Abstract | The aim of present investigation was to effectively deliver ribonucleotide reductase subunit 1 (RRM1) targeted siRNA and assess chemo-sensitization of lung cancer cells against Gemcitabine hydrochloride. It was hypothesised that effective and selective delivery of RRM1 siRNA will help in the treatment of lung cancer chemotherapy using Gemcitabine hydrochloride by reducing drug dose and thereby, reduces dose related toxicity of Gemcitabine hydrochloride.In this investigation, cRGD grafted siRNA nano-constructs were developed for efficient and targeted intracellular delivery of siRNA. Developed formulations were characterized for gel retardation assay, particle size, zeta potential, cryo transmission electron microscopy, serum stability, in vitro cytotoxicity, qualitative and quantitative cell uptake, gene expression, and chemo-sensitization.Complete complexation of siRNA with cRGD grafted nano-constructs was found at N/P ratio of 2.0. Naked siRNA was found to degrade within 6 h in presence of 50% serum while nano-constructs protected the complexed siRNA even after 24 h. RRM1 level significantly reduced when siRNA was delivered in nano-construct form as compared to naked siRNA. Pre-exposure of RRM1 siRNA decreased the IC$_{50}$ value of Gemcitabine hydrochloride 5 folds in A-549 cells compared to Gemcitabine hydrochloride alone.These results suggest the application of present siRNA delivery strategy to potentiate the chemotherapeutic effect by means of chemosensitization which may be utilized for effective and thorough remission of lung cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
