Water-based Double Layer Functionalized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Gene Delivery Applications
Authors
Abstract:
Iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3)) have been received increasing attention in drug and gene delivery. In this work, water-base double layer functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (DL-IONPs) were designed and prepared of a biodegradable, biocompatible carrier by co-precipitation method with high DNA loading capacity due to self-assembly of a second organic layer. The prepared nanocarriers were characterized by FTIR spectra, XRD, dynamic light scattering and vibrating sample magnetometry. Gene loading ability of the nanocarriers was determined using gel retardation electrophorese method. Finally, cytotoxicity and transfection assays toward HEK293T cell line were studied. Several advantages compared to other systems are simple synthesis procedure, high ability for condensation of nucleic acids due to positive charge around of carrier and suitable capacity for loading hydrophobic drugs in consequences of the hydrophobic area formation between the first and second layers. Results from gel retardation assay demonstrated that the DNA can efficiently attach to DL-IONPs particles, and protect plasmid DNA from nucleases attack and degradation.

Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are under clinical evaluation to enhance detection of neurodegenerative diseases. A major improvement would be to link therapeutic drugs to the SPIONs to achieve targeted drug delivery, either at the cell surface or intracellularly, together with active disease detection, without inducing cell re...

Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively explored in nanomedicine for its excellent physiochemical, electrical, and optical properties. Here, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyethylenimine (PEI) are covalently conjugated to GO via amide bonds, obtaining a physiologically stable dual-polymer-functionalized nano-GO conjugate (NGO-PEG-PEI) with ultra-small size. Compared with free PEI and the GO-P...
