Research on overcoming obstacles in gene therapy by preparing a gene delivery complex has successfully achieved stable gene loading, targeted delivery, improved biocompatibility, and circulation time through the self-assembly synthesis of HPAA-peptide-HPG nanocomplex, showing potential application value in cancer gene therapy.
How to overcome multiple obstacles to achieve the efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic genes is still the key to gene therapy. To address this issue, a cationic carrier consisting of polyamide-amine (HPAA-peptide-Fc) modified by an enzyme-responsive polypeptide as the core and hyperbranched polyglycerol derivative (CD-HPG) as the shell was synthesized by self-assembly. The obtained HPAA-peptide-HPG could form the compact nanocomplex with siPlk1, thus confirming the stable load of genes and subsequent targeted gene delivery. And the nanogenes could significantly induce apoptotic effect via the down-expression of Plk1 protein in breast cancer cells. Moreover, compared to polyethylenimine, HPAA-peptide-HPG exhibited superior biocompatibility through hemolysis and cell viability assays because of the shielding function of CD-HPG, thereby being beneficial to increasing the circulation time of the complex when administrated in vivo. Such an efficient and safe gene delivery complex (HPAA-peptide-HPG) presents a good example of rational design of cationic supramolecular vesicles for stimulus-responsive siRNA transport, which should be encouraged in cancer gene therapy.
