Structural Characteristics of Size-Controlled Self-Aggregates of Deoxycholic Acid-Modified Chitosan and Their Application as a DNA Delivery Carrier
Abstract
Precise control of the size and structure is one critical design parameter of micellar systems for drug delivery applications. To control the size of self-aggregates, chitosan was depolymerized with various amounts of sodium nitrite, and hydrophobically modified with deoxycholic acid to form self-aggregates in aqueous media. Formation and physicochemical characteristics of size-controlled self-aggregates were investigated using dynamic light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, and computer simulation method. The size of self-aggregates varied in the range of 130-300 nm in diameter, and their structures were found to depend strongly on the molecular weight of chitosan ranging from 5 to 200 kDa. Due to the chain rigidity of chitosan molecule, the structure of self-aggregates was suggested to be a cylindrical bamboolike structure when the molecular weight of chitosan was larger than 40 kDa, which might form a very poor spherical form of a birdnestlike structure. To explore the potential applications of self-aggregates as a gene delivery carrier, complexes between chitosan self-aggregates and plasmid DNA were prepared and confirmed by measuring the fluorescence intensity of ethidium bromide and electrophoresis on agarose gels. The complex formation had strong dependency on the size and structure of chitosan self-aggregates and significantly influenced the transfection efficiency of COS-1 cells (up to a factor of 10). This approach to control the size and structure of chitosan-derived self-aggregates may find a wide range of applications in gene delivery as well as general drug delivery applications.

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.
