Abstract
We have designed a PEGylated LPD (liposome-polycation-DNA) nanoparticle for systemic, specific, and efficient delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) into solid tumors in mice by modification with NGR (aspargine–glycine–arginine) peptide, targeting aminopeptidase N (CD13) expressed in the tumor cells or tumor vascular endothelium. LPD-PEG-NGR efficiently delivered siRNA to the cytoplasm and downregulated the target gene in the HT-1080 cells but not CD13− HT-29 cells, whereas nanoparticles containing a control peptide, LPD-PEG-ARA, showed only little siRNA uptake and gene silencing activity. LPD-PEG-NGR efficiently delivered siRNA into the cytoplasm of HT-1080 xenograft tumor 4 hours after intravenous injection. Three daily injections (1.2 mg/kg) of c-myc siRNA formulated in the LPD-PEG-NGR effectively suppressed c-myc expression and triggered cellular apoptosis in the tumor, resulting in a partial tumor growth inhibition. When doxorubicin (DOX) and siRNA were co-formulated in LPD-PEG-NGR, an enhanced therapeutic effect was observed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
