1% agarose gel electrophoresis (80 V, 40 min) to evaluate the association efficacy between PSN and nucleic acids: miR (2 µg) and pDNA (0.2 µg). |
RT-qPCR results of the effect of miR 145 associated and non-associated with PSN in the relative expression of sox9b and gata6 genes in zebrafish embryos. |
Confocal images of zebrafish embryos after a 72 h incubation with TopFluor-PSN (in green) associated and non-associated with Cy5-labelled miR and pDNA (in blue). |
Confocal images of in vivo biodistribution of TopFluor-labelled nanoemulsions (green) with and without miR-Cy5 and pDNA (blue), after 48 h incubation in microinjected 48 hpf zebrafish embryos. |
Images of the in vivo interaction between nanoemulsions, labelled with TopFluor (green), and associated and non-associated miR and pDNA Cy5-labelled (blue) with DiI-MDA-MB-231 cancer cells (red), by confocal microscopy. |
