Topical delivery of siRNA-based spherical nucleic acid nanoparticle conjugates for gene regulation.
Topical application of nucleic acids offers many potential therapeutic advantages for suppressing genes in the skin, and potentially for systemic gene delivery. However, the epidermal barrier typically precludes entry of gene-suppressing therapy unless the barrier is disrupted. We now show that spherical nucleic acid nanoparticle conjugates (SNA-NCs), gold cores surrounded by a dense shell of h...
متن کاملMechanism for the endocytosis of spherical nucleic acid nanoparticle conjugates.
Intracellular delivery of nucleic acids as gene regulation agents typically requires the use of cationic carriers or viral vectors, yet issues related to cellular toxicity or immune responses hamper their attractiveness as therapeutic candidates. The discovery that spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), polyanionic structures comprised of densely packed, highly oriented oligonucleotides covalently att...
متن کاملIntracellular Fate of Spherical Nucleic Acid Nanoparticle Conjugates
Spherical nucleic acid (SNA) nanoparticle conjugates are a class of bionanomaterials that are extremely potent in many biomedical applications. Their unique ability to enter multiple mammalian cell types as single-entity agents arises from their novel three-dimensional architecture, which consists of a dense shell of highly oriented oligonucleotides chemically attached typically to a gold nanop...
متن کاملNucleic acid carriers based on precise polymer conjugates.
Polymer polydispersity, random conjugation of functional groups, and poorly understood structure-activity relationships have constantly hampered progress in the development of nucleic acid carriers. This review focuses on the synthetic concepts for the generation of precise polymers, site-specific conjugation strategies, and multifunctional conjugates for nucleic acid transport. Dendrimers, def...
متن کاملEfficient nucleic acid delivery to murine regulatory T cells by gold nanoparticle conjugates
Immune responses have to be tightly controlled to guarantee maintenance of immunological tolerance and efficient clearance of pathogens and tumorigenic cells without induction of unspecific side effects. CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an important role in these processes due to their immunosuppressive function. Genetic modification of Tregs would be helpful to understand which m...
