Protein−Polymer Nanoparticles for Nonviral Gene Delivery

Abstract: Protein-polymer conjugates were investigated as nonviral gene delivery vectors. BSA-poly(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (PDMA) nanoparticles (nBSA) were synthesized using in situ atom transfer radical polymerization (in situ ATRP) and BSA as a macroinitiator. The diameter and charge of nBSA was a function of the ATRP reaction time and ranged from 5 to 15 nm and +8.9 to +22.5, respectively. nBSA were able to condense plasmid DNA (pDNA) and form polyplexes with an average diameter of 50 nm. nBSA/pDNA polyplex… Show more

“…In general, we observed advantages of such hybrid systems over their respective traditional DDS, which significantly improved the in vivo pharmacokinetics and the activity of several classes of drugs [67,72,100,104,118,119,128]. As in the case of protein nanoparticles, where polymer-protein conjugates for gene delivery provided biofunctionality to the systems [57], other formulations reduced in vivo tumor growth [56]; and the anti-inflammatory activity five times higher than the traditional protein nanoparticle was noticed [58]. Regarding the hybrid lipid-based DDS, the outlook is exciting.…”

“…The camptothecin-loaded BSA-PMMA nanoparticles showed antitumor activity improvement in both in vitro and in vivo studies, reducing the tumor growth around 79%, being more effective than free drug. Zhang et al described another biohybrid polymer-protein system as a delivery vector for nonviral genes [57]. Nanoparticles of BSApoly(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (nBSA) were synthesized by in situ polymerization, with BSA as the macroinitiator.…”

“…Earlier, the viral vectors were used to carry genes to the target organism but the use of viral vectors possesses certain limitations. Compared to viral gene delivery approaches, non-viral gene delivery systems have the supplementary advantages of being less immunogenic, ability to incorporate larger genes, easy and inexpensive to produce at large scale in relation to viral systems (Zhang et al 2011). The overall ability of NPs to function as non-viral gene delivery vectors depends upon certain factors like properties of NPs such as shape, size, morphology and surface charge (Khalil et al 2006).…”
