Redox-responsive nanocapsules for intracellular protein delivery.
Direct delivery of proteins to the cytosol of cells holds tremendous potential in biological and medical applications. Engineering vehicles for escorting proteins to the cytosol in a controlled release fashion has thus generated considerable interest. We report here the preparation of redox-responsive single-protein nanocapsules for intracellular protein delivery. Through in situ interfacial po...
متن کاملEndoprotease-mediated intracellular protein delivery using nanocapsules.
Proteins possess distinct intracellular roles allowing them to have vast therapeutic applications. However, due to poor cellular permeability and fragility of most proteins, intracellular delivery of native, active proteins is challenging. We describe a biomimetic protein delivery vehicle which is degradable upon the digestion by furin, a ubiquitous intracellular protease, to release encapsulat...
متن کاملDoxorubicin Delivery Using pH and Redox Dual-Responsive Hollow Nanocapsules with a Cationic Electrostatic Barrier
For the delivery of doxorubicin (DOX), pH and redox dual responsive hollow nanocapsules were prepared through the stabilization of polymer vesicles, which spontaneously formed from polyamidoamine dendron-poly(l-lysine) (PAMAM dendron-PLL), by the introduction of disulfide (SS) bonds between PLLs. The SS-bonded nanocapsules exhibited a very slow release of DOX under an extracellular environment ...
متن کاملIntracellular delivery of doxorubicin encapsulated in novel pH-responsive chitosan/heparin nanocapsules
A novel polyelectrolyte nanocapsule system composed of biopolymers, chitosan and heparin has been fabricated by the layer-by-layer technique on silica nanoparticles followed by dissolution of the silica core. The nanocapsules were of the size range 200 ± 20 nm and loaded with the positively charged anticancer drug doxorubicin with an efficiency of 89%. The loading of the drug into the capsule h...
متن کاملEngineered redox-responsive PEG detachment mechanism in PEGylated nano-graphene oxide for intracellular drug delivery.
In biomedical applications, polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalization has been a major approach to modify nanocarriers such as nano-graphene oxide for particular biological requirements. However, incorporation of a PEG shell poses a significant diffusion barrier that adversely affects the release of the loaded drugs. This study addresses this critical issue by employing a redox-responsive PEG...
