A major challenge in non-viral gene delivery remains finding a safe and effective delivery system. Colloidally stable non-viral gene vector delivery systems capable of overcoming various biological barriers, are disclosed. The gene vectors are biodegradable, non-toxic and highly tailorable for use in specific applications. The vectors include a mixture of biodegradable copolymers, such as PBAE, and biodegradable polymers conjugated with hydrophilic, neutrally charged polymer, such as PEG. The gene vectors demonstrate broad vector distribution and high transgene delivery in vivo, providing an efficient non-viral gene delivery system for localized therapeutic gene transfer. Methods of using the vectors to overcome biological barriers including mucus gel and extracellular matrix are provided. Methods of formulating the vectors are also provided.
非病毒基因递送的一个主要挑战仍然是找到一种安全有效的递送系统。本研究公开了胶体稳定的非病毒基因载体递送系统,该系统能够克服各种生物障碍。这些基因载体可生物降解、无毒,并可高度定制,以用于特定应用。这些载体包括可生物降解共聚物(如 PBAE)和与亲水性中性聚合物(如 PEG)共轭的可生物降解聚合物的混合物。这些基因载体在体内显示出广泛的载体分布和高转基因递送能力,为局部治疗基因转移提供了一种高效的非病毒基因递送系统。提供了使用载体克服生物屏障(包括粘液凝胶和细胞外基质)的方法。还提供了配制载体的方法。
