Abstract

It has been shown that extracellular glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) limit the gene transfer by cationic lipids and polymers. The purpose of this study was to clarify how interactions with anionic GAGs (hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate) modify the cellular uptake and distribution of lipoplexes and polyplexes. Experiments on cellular DNA uptake and GFP reporter gene expression showed that decreased gene expression can rarely be explained by lower cellular uptake. In most cases, the cellular uptake is not changed by GAG binding to the lipoplexes or polyplexes. Reporter gene expression is decreased or blocked by heparan sulfate, but it is increased by hyaluronic acid; this suggests that intracellular factors are involved. Confocal microscopy experiments demonstrated that extracellular heparan sulfate and hyaluronic acid are taken into cells both with free and DNA-associated carriers. We conclude that extracellular GAGs may alter both the cellular uptake and the intracellular behavior of the DNA complexes.

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.
