High gene delivery efficiency of alkylated low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine through gemini surfactant-like effect
To our knowledge, the mechanism underlying the high transfection efficiency of alkylated low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine (PEI) is not yet well understood. In this work, we grafted branched PEI (molecular weight of 1,800 Da; bPEI1800) with lauryl chains (C₁₂), and found that bPEI1800-C₁₂ was structurally similar to gemini surfactant and could similarly assemble into micelle-like particles....
متن کاملCrosslinked linear polyethylenimine enhances delivery of DNA to the cytoplasm.
Crosslinked polyethylenimines (PEIs) have been frequently examined over the past decade since they can maintain the transfection efficiency of commercially available, 25k branched PEI, but exhibit less cytotoxicity. The argument is often made that the degradability of such polymers, generally synthesized with either disulfide or hydrolytically degradable crosslinkers, is critical to the high ef...
متن کاملBiscarbamate cross-linked polyethylenimine derivative with low molecular weight, low cytotoxicity, and high efficiency for gene delivery
Polyethylenimine (PEI), especially PEI 25 kDa, has been widely studied for delivery of nucleic acid drugs both in vitro and in vivo. However, it lacks degradable linkages and is too toxic for therapeutic applications. Hence, low-molecular-weight PEI has been explored as an alternative to PEI 25 kDa. To reduce cytotoxicity and increase transfection efficiency, we designed and synthesized a novel...
متن کاملEnhanced siRNA delivery using oleic acid derivative of polyethylenimine.
BACKGROUND RNA interference has promising therapeutic potential. However, safe and efficacious delivery systems are necessary for its application in the clinic. MATERIALS AND METHODS An oleic acid (OA) derivative of branched polyethylenimine (PEI, M.W. 2000 Da), PEI-OA, was synthesized and evaluated for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery in SK-HEP-1 liver cancer cells stably transfected w...
متن کاملAmphiphilic graft copolymer based on poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) with low molecular weight polyethylenimine for efficient gene delivery
BACKGROUND AND METHODS A new amphiphilic comb-shaped copolymer (SP) was synthesized by conjugating poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) with low molecular weight polyethyleneimine for gene delivery. Fourier transform infrared spectrum, (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance, and gel permeation chromatography were used to characterize the graft copolymer. RESULTS The buffering capability of SP was simil...
