Abstract

Gene therapy for systemic diseases requires intravenous administration, but existing vectors are not suitable for systemic delivery, often showing rapid elimination from the bloodstream that restricts potential transfection sites to "first-pass" organs. To develop long-circulating vectors, here we have compared polyplexes containing DNA and poly-L-lysine (PLL) or polyethylenimine (PEI), surface-modified with either monovalent polyethylene glycol (PEG) or multivalent copolymers of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (PHPMA), correlating their biophysical properties with their distribution following intravenous injection. A key difference between the two types of coating is the introduction of lateral stabilization by surface attachment of multivalent PHPMA, in addition to the steric stabilization provided by both types of polymers. The alpha-half-life for bloodstream clearance of polycation/DNA polyplexes (typically <5 minutes in mice) could be extended using multivalent PHPMA coating to >90 minutes. We found that the dose administered, as well as the amount and molecular weight of the coating PHPMA, had important effects on circulation properties. Multivalent PHPMA coating allows, for the first time, considerably extended circulation time using polyplex systems-a prerequisite for systemic gene delivery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
