Reprogramming fibroblasts to pluripotency using arginine-terminated polyamidoamine nanoparticles based non-viral gene delivery system
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have attracted keen interest in regenerative medicine. The generation of iPSCs from somatic cells can be achieved by the delivery of defined transcription factor (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc[OSKM]). However, most instances of iPSC-generation have been achieved by potentially harmful genome-integrating viral vectors. Here we report the generation of iPSCs f...
متن کاملmRNA delivery using non-viral PCL nanoparticles.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) provides a promising alternative to plasmid DNA as a genetic material for delivery in non-viral gene therapy strategies. However, it is difficult to introduce mRNA in vivo mainly because of the instability of mRNA under physiological conditions. Here, mRNA-protamine complex encapsulated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) are proposed for the intracellular delive...
متن کاملReprogramming of human fibroblasts to pluripotency with lineage specifiers.
Since the initial discovery that OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC overexpression sufficed for the induction of pluripotency in somatic cells, methodologies replacing the original factors have enhanced our understanding of the reprogramming process. However, unlike in mouse, OCT4 has not been replaced successfully during reprogramming of human cells. Here we report on a strategy to accomplish this re...
متن کاملUsing heterokaryons to understand pluripotency and reprogramming.
Reprogramming differentiated cells towards pluripotency can be achieved by different experimental strategies including the forced expression of specific 'inducers' and nuclear transfer. While these offer unparalleled opportunities to generate stem cells and advance disease modelling, the relatively low levels of successful reprogramming achieved (1-2%) makes a direct analysis of the molecular e...
متن کاملCalcium Phosphate Nanoparticles a Novel Non-viral Gene Delivery System for Genetic Transformation of Tobacco
Nanotechnology plays a unique and novel role to develop new methods for genetic engineering. Calcium phosphate (CaP) has various significances in biomedical systems; one of them is plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery for decades as transfection efficiency relative to the non-viral approaches. In this study, we developed a novel gene transfer carriers, nano-calcium-phosphate (CaP) that provides consiste...
