Carboxymethyl poly( l-histidine) (CM-PLH) as a new pH-sensitive polypeptide has enhanced polyplex gene delivery. Agarose gel retardation assay and zeta potential measurement proved that the anionic CM-PLH at physiological pH coated the PEI/DNA binary complexes. The resulting CM-PLH/PEI/DNA ternary complexes showed the gene expression value 300 times higher than that of the PEI/DNA binary complexes. These results suggest that the synergistic effect of the pH-sensitive imidazole groups at endosomal pH and the anionic carboxymethyl groups at physiological pH in the CM-PLH enhanced polyplex gene delivery.
羧甲基聚(L-组氨酸)(CM-PLH)作为一种新型的pH敏感多肽,增强了多聚体基因递送。琼脂糖凝胶阻滞试验和ζ电位测量证明,在生理pH值下呈阴离子性的CM-PLH包被了PEI/DNA二元复合物。所得的CM-PLH/PEI/DNA三元复合物的基因表达值比PEI/DNA二元复合物高300倍。这些结果表明,CM-PLH中内体pH值下的pH敏感咪唑基团与生理pH值下的阴离子羧甲基基团的协同作用增强了多聚体基因递送。
