Biolabile cationic lipids were developed for efficient intracellular delivery of DNA and siRNA.
The compounds have been designed starting from the membrane lipid DOPC in a way they may loose their cationic charge when exposed to an acidic and/or enzymatic stimulus, such as those met during the journey of a lipoplex in biological media.
They demonstrated remarkable efficiency to deliver DNA in various cell lines (BHK-21, Calu-3, NCI-H292, and A549), with no significant cytotoxicity. Furthermore, two of the compounds (carbonate-based DOPC derivatives) revealed able to deliver small interfering RNA in U87Luc and A549Luc cancer cells and to mediate a selective 70-80% knockdown of the stably transfected luciferase gene.
The results show that the described bioresponsive cationic lipids have high DNA and siARN delivery activity which is encouraging in view of delivering a therapeutic nucleic acid to pulmonary tissues in vivo.
生物可降解阳离子脂质体被开发用于高效地将 DNA 和 siRNA 递送至细胞内。
这些化合物是从细胞膜脂质 DOPC 设计而来的,当它们暴露于酸性和/或酶刺激时,它们可能会失去正电荷,例如在脂质体在生物介质中的运输过程中遇到的刺激。
它们在各种细胞系(BHK-21、Calu-3、NCI-H292 和 A549)中显示出了高效递送 DNA 的能力,且没有明显的细胞毒性。此外,两种化合物(基于碳酸盐的 DOPC 衍生物)能够在 U87Luc 和 A549Luc 癌细胞中递送小干扰 RNA,并介导对稳定转染的荧光素酶基因进行选择性的 70-80%敲低。
这些结果表明,所描述的生物响应性阳离子脂质体具有高效的 DNA 和 siARN 递送活性,这对于在体内将治疗性核酸递送至肺部组织是令人鼓舞的。
