Structure-activity correlation in transfection promoted by pyridinium cationic lipids.
The efficiency of the transfection of a plasmid DNA encoding a galactosidase promoted by a series of pyridinium lipids in mixtures with other cationic lipids and neutral lipids was assessed in CHO-K1 cells. We identify key molecular parameters of the lipids in the mixture - clog P, lipid length, partial molar volume - to predict the morphology of the lipid-DNA lipoplex and then correlate these ...
متن کاملSynergistic effect of cationic lipids with different polarheads, central core structures and hydrophobic tails on gene transfection efficiency.
Lipid-mediated delivery of DNA into cells holds great promise both for gene therapy and basic research applications. The primary approach to improving transfection efficiency is the design and synthesis of novel cationic lipids. Alternatively, using the synergistic effect of different cationic mixtures can provide another approach to increasing transfection efficiency. This paper describes the ...
متن کاملCationic hydrophobic peptides with antimicrobial activity.
The MICs of cationic, hydrophobic peptides of the prototypic sequence KKAAAXAAAAAXAAWAAXAAAKKKK-amide (where X is one of the 20 commonly occurring amino acids) are in a low micromolar range for a panel of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, with no or low hemolytic activity against human and rabbit erythrocytes. The peptides are active only when the average segmental hydrophobicity of the...
متن کاملTransfection properties of stabilized plasmid-lipid particles containing cationic PEG lipids.
Recent work has shown that plasmid DNA can be efficiently encapsulated in well-defined "stabilized plasmid-lipid particles" (SPLP) that have potential as systemic gene therapy vehicles [Gene Ther. 6 (1999) 271]. In this work, we examine the influence of ligands that enhance cellular uptake on the transfection potency of SPLP. The ligand employed is a cationic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) lipid (...
متن کاملEfficient and reliable transfection of mouse erythroleukemia cells using cationic lipids.
Preliminary studies of cis-regulatory elements are frequently performed in transiently transfected cells before further analysis in stably transfected cell lines and transgenic mice. However, not all cells are readily transfectable by routine means. For instance, mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells have been a valuable model system for studies of their endogenous globin genes, but introduction of...
