Novel Shielded Transferrin−Polyethylene Glycol−Polyethylenimine/DNA Complexes for Systemic Tumor-Targeted Gene Transfer
Abstract
Tumor-targeting DNA complexes which can readily be generated by the mixing of stable components and freeze-thawed would be very advantageous for their subsequent application as medical products. Complexes were generated by the mixing of plasmid DNA, linear polyethylenimine (PEI22, 22 kDa) as the main DNA condensing agent, PEG-PEI (poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated PEI) for surface shielding, and Tf-PEG-PEI (transferrin-PEG-PEI) to provide a ligand for receptor-mediated cell uptake. Within the shielding conjugates, PEG chains of varying size (5, 20, or 40 kDa) were conjugated with either linear PEI22 (22 kDa) or branched PEI25 (25 kDa). The three polymer components were mixed together at various ratios with DNA; particle size, surface charge, in vitro transfection activity, and systemic gene delivery to tumors was investigated. In general, increasing the proportion of shielding conjugate in the complex reduced surface charge, particle size, and in vitro transfection efficiency in transferrin receptor-rich K562 cells. The particle size or surface charge of the complexes containing the PEG-PEI conjugate did not significantly change after freeze-thawing, while complexes without the shielding conjugate aggregated. Complexes containing PEG-PEI conjugate efficiently transfected K562 cells after freeze-thawing. Furthermore the systemic application of freeze-thawed complexes exhibited in vivo tumor targeted expression. For complexes containing the luciferase reporter gene the highest expression was found in tumor tissue of mice. An optimum formulation for in vivo application, PEI22/Tf-PEG-PEI/PEI22-PEG5, containing plasmid DNA encoding for the tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), inhibited tumor growth in three different murine tumor models. These new DNA complexes offer simplicity and convenience, with tumor targeting activity in vivo after freeze-thawing.

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.
