Low-Molecular-Weight Polyethyleneimine Grafted Polythiophene for Efficient siRNA Delivery
Owing to its hydrophilicity, negative charge, small size, and labile degradation by endogenous nucleases, small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery must be achieved by a carrier system. In this study, cationic copolymers composed of low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine and polythiophenes were synthesized and evaluated as novel self-tracking siRNA delivery vectors. The concept underlying the desig...
متن کاملAlkyl cross-linked low molecular weight polypropyleneimine dendrimers as efficient gene delivery vectors
Objective(s): First, 10-bromodecanoic acid was covalently attached to all available surface primary amines of PPI G2 and G3 to increase their lipophilicity. In the subsequent step, PPIs were conjugated to the alkylcarboxylate groups of alkylcarboxylate-PPI derivatives to increase the number of surface primary amines. Physicochemical properties of modified PPIs were determined. Transfection expe...
متن کاملA low-molecular-weight supramolecular hydrogel of riboflavin bolaamphiphile for VEGF-siRNA delivery.
A low-molecular-weight hydrogel derived from riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) that self-assembles to provide supramolecular nanofibers, biocompatible material, can be used to deliver VEGF-siRNA efficiently into human cells by the endocytosis pathway, where the siRNA is functionalized.
متن کاملLow molecular weight chitosan conjugated with folate for siRNA delivery in vitro: optimization studies
The low transfection efficiency of chitosan is one of its drawbacks as a gene delivery carrier. Low molecular weight chitosan may help to form small-sized polymer-DNA or small interfering RNA (siRNA) complexes. Folate conjugation may improve gene transfection efficiency because of the promoted uptake of folate receptor-bearing cells. In the present study, chitosan was conjugated with folate and...
متن کاملIn vivo endothelial siRNA delivery using polymeric nanoparticles with low molecular weight.
Dysfunctional endothelium contributes to more diseases than any other tissue in the body. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can help in the study and treatment of endothelial cells in vivo by durably silencing multiple genes simultaneously, but efficient siRNA delivery has so far remained challenging. Here, we show that polymeric nanoparticles made of low-molecular-weight polyamines and lipids ca...
