Polyamidoamine Dendrimer Conjugates with Cyclodextrins as Novel Carriers for DNA, shRNA and siRNA

چکیده
Gene, short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery can be particularly used for the treatment of diseases by the entry of genetic materials mammalian cells either to express new proteins or to suppress the expression of proteins, respectively. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) StarburstTM dendrimers are used as non-viral vectors (carriers) for gene, shRNA and siRNA delivery. Recently, multifunctional PAMAM dendrimers can be used for the wide range of biomedical applications including intracellular delivery of genes and nucleic acid drugs. In this context, this review paper provides the recent findings on PAMAM dendrimer conjugates with cyclodextrins (CyDs) for gene, shRNA and siRNA delivery.

Potential Use of Polyamidoamine Dendrimer Conjugates with Cyclodextrins as Novel Carriers for siRNA
Cyclodextrin (CyD)-based nanoparticles and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) starburst dendrimers (dendrimers) are used as novel carriers for DNA and RNA. Recently, small interfering RNA (siRNA) complex with β-CyD-containing polycations (CDP) having adamantine-PEG or adamantine-PEG-transferrin underwent a phase I study for treatment of solid tumors. Multifunctional dendrimers can be used for a wide range ...
متن کاملRecent Findings Concerning PAMAM Dendrimer Conjugates with Cyclodextrins as Carriers of DNA and RNA
We have evaluated the potential use of various polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer [dendrimer, generation (G) 2-4] conjugates with cyclodextrins (CyDs) as novel DNA and RNA carriers. Among the various dendrimer conjugates with CyDs, the dendrimer (G3) conjugate with α-CyD having an average degree of substitution (DS) of 2.4 [α-CDE (G3, DS2)] displayed remarkable properties as DNA, shRNA and siRNA ...

In this study, we demonstrated the potential use of polypseudorotaxanes (PPRXs) of polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight: 2000)-grafted polyamidoamine dendrimer (PEG-dendrimer) with cyclodextrins (CyDs) as novel sustained release systems for plasmid DNA (pDNA). PEG-dendrimer/pDNA complex formed PPRXs with α-CyD and γ-CyD solutions, but not with β-CyD solution. In the PEG-dendrimer/CyDs PPR...

Nonviral gene delivery suffers from a number of limitations including short transgene expression times and low transfection efficiency. In this study, we examined whether polypseudorotaxanes (PPRXs) of polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight: 2,000)-grafted α-cyclodextrin (α-CyD)/polyamidoamine dendrimer conjugate (PEG-α-CDE) with CyDs have the potential for the novel sustained release syste...

Objective(s): Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in females. Understanding molecular mechanisms in cancer cells compared with normal cells is crucial for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, a regulator of reprogramming (lincRNA-RoR) is a noncoding RNA which initially was detected in induced pluripotent s...
