Photo-induced release of active plasmid from crosslinked nanoparticles: o-nitrobenzyl/methacrylate functionalized polyethyleneimine†
نویسندگان
چکیده
To facilitate DNA packaging and photolytic release, o-nitrobenzyl and methacrylate functionalized PEI (P10A) was synthesized for condensing DNA into nanoparticles as small as 160 nm after radical polymerization with initiator. The gene expression following delivery of uncross-linked P10A/DNA was unchanged by photoirradiation of cells. However, exposure to photo-irradiation caused a 3-fold increase in gene expression in cells transfected with cross-linked P10A/DNA. These polyplexes were designed to mimic viral particles that condense and protect DNA while allowing subsequent triggered release of DNA.

Gene delivery efficacy of polyethyleneimine-introduced chitosan shell/poly(methyl methacrylate) core nanoparticles for rat mesenchymal stem cells.
This work investigated polyethyleneimine (PEI)-introduced chitosan (CS) (CS/PEI) nanoparticles as non-viral carrier of plasmid DNA for rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The CS/PEI nanoparticles were prepared by the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer induced by a small amount of t-butyl hydroperxide in the presence of different concentrations of PEI mixed wit...

Photo-crosslinked networks were prepared from fumaric acid monoethyl ester-functionalized poly(D,L-lactic acid) oligomers and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. Two model proteins, lysozyme and albumin, were incorporated into the network films as solid particles and their release behavior was studied. By varying the NVP content and macromer molecular weight the degradation behavior and protein release prof...

Self-assembly supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) are synthesized using polyethylenimine (PEI) crosslinked by cyclodextrins (CyDs), adamantyl doxorubicin and plasmid DNA. SNPs successfully conduct the cooperative co-delivery of chemotherapeutic anticancer drug and plasmid DNA in vitro and in vivo.
متن کاملStrategy for catch and release of azide-tagged biomolecules utilizing a photolabile strained alkyne construct.
A photolabile o-nitrobenzyl linker-cyclooctyne conjugate was prepared, immobilized on poly(methacrylate) beads and utilized as a trap for azide-functionalized compounds. These could be released by 365 nm UV light irradiation in high yield and purity. The "reagent-free" and time economic catch and release protocol was deemed useful for chemical proteomics applications.
