Cationic lipids and polymers for gene delivery
Gene therapy, aiming to eradicate causes rather than symptoms of diseases, is believed to be the therapy of the future. A new promising area for the application of gene therapy is the emerging field of regenerative medicine, where gene delivery can be used to enhance or modify cell functions in an organ/tissue or in engineered substitutes. The aim of gene therapy is to achieve the expression of...
متن کاملPolysorbate cationic synthetic vesicle for gene delivery.
Synthetic nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) are a colloidal system with closed bilayer structures, displaying distinct advantages in stability and cost compared with liposomes. In this article, polysorbate cationic niosomes (PCNs) were developed as gene carriers. The PCNs comprised nonionic surfactants (i.e., polysorbates) and a cationic cholesterol, and were synthesized using a film hydr...
متن کاملNovel cationic lipids with enhanced gene delivery and antimicrobial activity.
Cationic lipids facilitate plasmid delivery, and some cationic sterol-based compounds have antimicrobial activity because of their amphiphilic character. These dual functions are relevant in the context of local ongoing infection during intrapulmonary gene transfer for cystic fibrosis. The transfection activities of two cationic lipids, dexamethasone spermine (DS) and disubstituted spermine (D(...
متن کاملCationic dialkylarylphosphates: a new family of bio-inspired cationic lipids for gene delivery.
In this work that aims to synthesize and evaluate new cationic lipids as vectors for gene delivery, we report the synthesis of a series of cationic lipids in which a phosphate functional group acts as a linker to assemble on a molecular scale, two lipid chains and one cationic polar head. The mono or dicationic moiety is connected to the phosphate group by an aryl spacer. In this work, two synt...
متن کاملReducible cationic lipids for gene transfer.
One of the main challenges of gene therapy remains the increase of gene delivery into eukaryotic cells. We tested whether intracellular DNA release, an essential step for gene transfer, could be facilitated by using reducible cationic DNA-delivery vectors. For this purpose, plasmid DNA was complexed with cationic lipids bearing a disulphide bond. This reduction-sensitive linker is expected to b...
