lüll Well-defined cationic shell crosslinked nanoparticles for efficient delivery of DNA or peptide nucleic acids Zhang K; Fang H; Shen G; Taylor JS; Wooley KLProc Am Thorac Soc 2009[Aug]; 6 (5): 450-7This mini-review highlights developments that have been made over the past year to advance the construction of well-defined nanoscale objects to serve as devices for cell transfection. Design of the nanoscale objects originated from biomimicry concepts, using histones as the model, to afford cationic shell crosslinked knedel-like (cSCK) nanoparticles. Packaging and delivery of plasmid DNA, oligonucleotides, and peptide nucleic acids were studied by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, gel electrophoresis, biological activity assays, RT-PCR measurements, flow cytometry, and confocal fluorescence microscopy. With the demonstration of more efficient cell transfection in vitro than that achieved using commercially-available transfection agents, together with the other features offered by the robust nanostructural framework, work continues toward the application of these cSCKs for in vivo molecular recognition of genetic material, for imaging and therapy targeted specifically to pulmonary injury and disease.|*DNA/genetics/therapeutic use[MESH]|*Nanoparticles/chemistry/therapeutic use[MESH]|*Peptide Nucleic Acids/genetics[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Transfection/*methods[MESH] |
