چکیده

objective(s): although viral vectors are considered efficient gene transfer agents, their board application has been limited by toxicity, immunogenicity, mutagenicity and small gene carrying capacity. non-viral vectors are safe but they suffer from low transfection efficiency. in the present study, polyallylamine (paa) in two molecular weights (15 and 65 kda) was modified by alkane derivatives in order to increase transfection activity and to decrease cytotoxicity. materials and methods: modified paa was synthesized using three alkane derivatives (1-bromobutane, 1-bromohexane and 1-bromodecane) in different grafting percentages (10, 30 and 50). the condensation ability of modified paa was determined by ethidium bromide test. the prepared polyplexes, complexes of modified paa and dna, were characterized by size and zeta potential. transfection activity of polyplexes was checked in neuro2a cells. the cytotoxicity of vector was examined in the same cell line.results: dna condensation ability of paa was decreased after modification but modified polymer could still condense dna at moderate and high carrier to plasmid (c/p) ratios. most of polyplexes composed of modified polymer had mean size less than 350 nm. they showed a positive zeta potential, but some vectors with high percentage of grafting had negative surface charge. transfection efficiency was increased by modification of paa by 1-bromodecane in grafting percentages of 30 and 50%. modification of polymer reduced polymer cytotoxicity especially in c/p ratio of 2. conclusion: results of the present study indicated that modification of paa with alkane derivatives can help to prepare gene carriers with better transfection activity and less cytotoxicity.

Cationic Liposomes Modified with Polyallylamine as a Gene Carrier: Preparation, Characterization and Transfection Efficiency Evaluation.

Purpose: Cationic polymers and cationic liposomes have shown to be effective non-viral gene delivery vectors. In this study, we tried to improve the transfection efficiency by employing the advantages of both. Methods: For this purpose, modified polyallylamines (PAAs) were synthesized. These modifications were done through the reaction of PAA (15 KDa) with acrylate and 6-bromoalkanoic acid deri...

Preparation and Characterization of PLA-PEG-PLA/PEI/DNA Nanoparticles for Improvement of Transfection Efficiency and Controlled Release of DNA in Gene Delivery Systems

Tri-block poly (lactide) poly(ethylene glycol) poly(lactide) (PLA–PEG–PLA) copolymers are among the most attractive nano-carriers for gene delivery into mammalian cells, due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. However, the low efficiency of the gene delivery by these copolymers is an obstacle to gene therapy. Here, we have investigated nanoparticles formulated using the p...
