To develop a novel gene delivery vector TAT-PEI-beta-CyD.
beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) was linked by low molecular weight (PEI 600) via 1, 1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), and TAT peptide (RRRQRRKKRC) was coupled to PEI 600 by [N-succinimidy-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate, SPDP]. The copolymer was characterized by (1)H-NMR and FT-IR. Physiochemical characteristics of TAT-PEI-beta-CyD/DNA complexes were tested by agarose gel electrophoresis and particle size measurements. Cell viability and transfection efficiency were evaluated in A293 and B16 cells using PEI 25 kDa as a control.
TAT peptide was successfully coupled to PEI-beta-CyD. The result of gel electrophoresis showed that the TAT-PEI-beta-CyD was able to condense DNA efficiently at N/P ratio of 4. The particle size of TAT-PEI-beta-CyD/DNA complexes was around 100 nm. The cytotoxicity of TAT-PEI-beta-CyD was lower than that of PEI 25 kDa. The transfection efficiency of TAT-PEI-beta-CyD was higher than that of PEI 25 kDa in A293 and B16 cells at N/P ratio of 30.
The novel vector TAT-PEI-beta-CyD has been developed successfully with low cytotoxicity and high transfection efficiency.
研发一种新型基因递送载体TAT-PEI-β-环糊精。
β-环糊精(β-CyD)通过1,1-羰基二咪唑(CDI)与低分子量聚乙烯亚胺(PEI 600)相连,TAT肽(RRRQRRKKRC)通过N-琥珀酰亚胺基-3-(2-吡啶二硫基)丙酸酯(SPDP)与PEI 600偶联。通过氢核磁共振(1H-NMR)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)对共聚物进行表征。采用琼脂糖凝胶电泳和粒度测量对TAT-PEI-β-CyD/DNA复合物的理化特性进行检测。以25 kDa聚乙烯亚胺作为对照,评估A293和B16细胞中的细胞活力和转染效率。
TAT肽成功偶联至PEI-β-CyD。凝胶电泳结果表明,TAT-PEI-β-CyD在N/P比为4时能够有效凝聚DNA。TAT-PEI-β-CyD/DNA复合物的粒径约为100 nm。TAT-PEI-β-CyD的细胞毒性低于25 kDa聚乙烯亚胺。在N/P比为30时,TAT-PEI-β-CyD在A293和B16细胞中的转染效率高于25 kDa聚乙烯亚胺。
成功研发出新型载体TAT-PEI-β-CyD,其具有低细胞毒性和高转染效率。
