The Effect of Linear PEI on Characteristics and Transfection Efficiency of PEI-Based Cationic Nanoliposomes
The development of efficient and safe carrier system to transfer DNA into cells is essential in non-viral gene therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of linear polyetheneimine (lPEI) (2500 Da) on the physicochemical and biological properties of lipopolyplexes constructed from liposomes and lPEI. Materials and Methods Different lipopolymers were synthesized from lPEI ...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo gene transfer to pulmonary cells mediated by cationic liposomes.
Cationic liposomes have been proposed as alternative to adenovirus in the treatment of cystic fibrosis lung disease. Therefore, we have investigated the efficiency of two lipid mixtures in mediating gene transfer in in vitro and in vivo models. The cationic lipid DOTMA (N-(1-(2,3(dioleyloxy)propyl)-n,n,n-trimethylammoniumchloride++ +) and DOGS (dioctadecylamidoglycylspermine) were used in combi...
متن کاملCytofectin Amine Head Group Modification and Degree of Liposome Pegylation: Factors Influencing Gene Transfer
The effectiveness of liposome-mediated gene transfer methods hinges, in part, on the nature of the interaction between the DNA cargo and the liposomes. Here we have examined the effect of quaternization of the cytofectin cationic head group on this interaction and the effect of concentration of the biocompatible, protective polymer polyethylene glycol(2000) (PEG(2000)) on transfection activity....
متن کاملEnhanced gene transfer into HuH-7 cells and primary rat hepatocytes using targeted liposomes and polyethylenimine.
Different ratios of DNA phosphate to polyethylenimine amine were used for encapsulation and delivery to liver cells of chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) or luciferase expression plasmids in cationic, neutral and anionic liposomes. Positive liposomes consisted of dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC): dioleoyl trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) (6:1 molar ratio); neutral liposomes were compo...
متن کاملEfficient synthesis and cell-transfection properties of a new multivalent cationic lipid for nonviral gene delivery.
Lipid-mediated delivery of DNA into cells holds great promise both for gene therapy and basic research applications. This paper describes the efficient and facile synthesis and the characterization of a new multivalent cationic lipid with a double-branched headgroup structure for gene delivery applications. The synthetic scheme can be extended to give cationic lipids of different charge, spacer...
