六方向核聚酰胺-胺树形高分子的合成及其介导的基因转移

设计、合成、表征以肌醇为六方向起始核的新型聚酰胺-胺树形高分子. 第三代至第六代树形高分子(G3~G6)能够和DNA通过电荷相互作用形成聚电解质复合物, 聚酰胺-胺树形高分子G6和荧光素酶基因(pRE Luc)形成的复合物的粒径为80~300 nm. G3~G6能介导半乳糖苷酶基因(pSV β-Gal)和荧光素酶基因有效转染HeLa和HEK293细胞. G5和G6的转染效率比聚赖氨酸高得多, 接近枝化聚乙烯亚胺(branched polyethylenimine, PEI, Mw 25 K)的转染效率. G5和G6的细胞毒性低于聚-L-赖氨酸.     

Syntheses of polyamidoamine dendrimers starting from a hexadimensional core and application in gene transfer

Gene therapy refers to the concept and practice of applying gene to treat diseases. It may be defined as a method for inserting a functioning gene into the cells of a patient to correct an inborn error of metabolism (i.e. genetic abnormality or birth defect) or to provide a new function in a cell. There are numerous diseases that may be treated by gene therapy including genetic defects, com-mon illnesses such as cancer, AIDS and chronic diseases such as diabetes[1]. A gene medicine sys-tem c…
