Loading and delivery of Bcl‐2‐targeted short interfering RNA (siRNA) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) by polyethylenimine (PEI)‐conjugated graphene oxide (PEI‐GO) is studied. A higher knockdown efficiency of siRNA delivered by PEI‐GO than by PEI is achieved. Sequential delivery of siRNA and DOX by the PEI‐GO nanocarrier shows a synergistic effect, which leads to significantly improved chemotherapy efficacy.
