Cationic lipid-DNA (CL-DNA) complexes were recently found to exhibit a novel multilamellar structure composed of alternating lipid bilayer and DNA monolayer with distinct interhelical DNA spacings (Rädler et al. Science 1997, 275, 810). We report on the aggregation behavior, morphology, and interfacial properties related to the solution structure of DOPC/DOTAP-DNA complexes. Using optical micro...
Materials. DOTAP (1,2-dioleoyloxypropyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride), DOPE (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) and cholesterol (Chol) were purchased from Avanti Polar lipids (USA). Solvents (chloroform and methanol) were obtained from Fisher Scientific (UK). Scrambled siRNA and apoptotic siPLK1 were purchased from Eurogentec (Southampton, UK). The fluorescence dye NIR-797 (λex...
Different ratios of DNA phosphate to polyethylenimine amine were used for encapsulation and delivery to liver cells of chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) or luciferase expression plasmids in cationic, neutral and anionic liposomes. Positive liposomes consisted of dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC): dioleoyl trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) (6:1 molar ratio); neutral liposomes were compo...
OBJECTIVES The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in the development of osteosarcoma. The primary objective of this study is to develop and optimize lipid based nanoparticle formulations that can carry siRNA and effectively silence mutant p53 in 318-1, a murine osteosarcoma cell line. METHODS The nanoparticles were composed of a mixture of two lipids (cholesterol and DOTAP) and either ...
Lipid-mediated delivery of DNA into cells holds great promise both for gene therapy and basic research applications. This paper describes the efficient and facile synthesis and the characterization of a new multivalent cationic lipid with a double-branched headgroup structure for gene delivery applications. The synthetic scheme can be extended to give cationic lipids of different charge, spacer...
DESI2 (also known as PNAS-4) is a novel pro-apoptotic gene activated during the early response to DNA damage. We previously reported that overexpression of DESI2 induces S phase arrest and apoptosis by activating checkpoint kinases. The present study was designed to test whether combination of DESI2 and IP10 could improve the therapy efficacy in vitro and in vivo. The recombinant plasmid co-exp...
RNA interference (RNAi) represents a promising strategy for the treatment of HCV infection. However, the development of an effective system for in vivo delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to target organ remains a formidable challenge. Here, we develop a unique nanoparticle platform (VE-DC) composed of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) and cholesterol-based cationic liposomes (DOTAP-Chol) for syst...
Iontophoresis is a promising technique for enhancing transdermal administration of charged drugs. However, conventional iontophoresis is not sufficient for effective delivery of large, hydrophilic, or electrically neutral molecules. In this study, we utilized charged liposomes as carriers, focused on a transfollicular route for delivery of the liposomes, and optimized iontophoretic conditions a...
Cationic liposomes have been actively used as gene delivery vehicle because of their minimal toxicity, but their relatively low efficiency of gene delivery is the major disadvantage of these vectors. Recently, cysteine residue incorporation to HIV-1 Tat peptide increased liposomemediated transfection compared with unmodified Tat peptide. Therefore, we designed a novel modified Tat peptide havin...
A vaccine strategy directed to increase Th1 cellular immune responses, particularly to hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 3 (NS3), has considerable potential to overcome the infection with HCV. DNA vaccination can induce both humoral and cellular immune responses, but it became apparent that the cellular uptake of naked DNA injected into muscle was not very efficient, as much of the ...
