Cyclen-based double-tailed lipids for DNA delivery: Synthesis and the effect of linking group structures
The gene transfection efficiency (TE) of cationiclipids is largely influenced by the lipid structure. Six novel 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen)-based cationiclipids L1–L6, which contain double oleyl as hydrophobic tails, were designed and synthesized. The difference between these lipids is their diverse backbone. Liposomes prepared by the lipids and DOPE showed good DNA affinity, and full

The present invention provides methods of carrying out the safe and reliable preparation of lipids comprising quaternary amines. Such lipids are especially suited for introducing therapeutic agents into cells or organisms. In particular, the lipids of the invention are suitable for the efficient transfer of gene therapy agents into mammalian cells or organisms in a cell type specific or tissue specific manner.
Inorganic kernel - Supported asymmetric hybrid vesicles for targeting delivery of STAT3-decoy oligonucleotides to overcome anti-HER2 therapeutic resistance of BT474R
As a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the extracellular region of HER2 tyrosine kinase receptor, trastuzumab (TRAZ) has demonstrated comparable clinical efficacy and improved survival in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Nevertheless, the therapeutic potential of TRAZ is often limited due to its frequent resistance to anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, we investigate the reversal effect of STAT3-specific decoy oligonucleotides (STAT3-decoy ODNs) on TRAZ resistance, which contain the consensus sequence within the targeted gene promoter of STAT3. Considering the shortcomings of poor cellular permeability and rapid degradation in vivo limit the further clinical applications of ODNs, we report here an asymmetric hybrid lipid/polymer vesicles with calcium phosphate as the solid kernel (CaP@HA). Through hyaluronan-mediated CD44 targeting, the constructed vesicles can specifically carry STAT3-decoy ODNs into TRAZ-resistant breast cancer cells and then regulate TRAZ-induced apoptosis. In comparison with the native ones, ODNs packaged with CaP@ HA showed significantly increased serum stability, cellular transfection, synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis in vitro. The improved TRAZ sensitization is attributed to the blockade of STAT3 signaling as well as the expression of downstream target genes associated with TRAZ resistance. With the synergistic action of STAT3-decoy ODNs loaded CaP@HA, TRAZ inhibited the growth of its resistant breast cancer xenograft dramatically and induced significant tumor cell apoptosis in vivo. These results suggested that CaP@HA mediated targeted delivery of STAT3-decoy ODNs might be a promising new strategy to overcome anti-HER2 resistance in breast cancer therapy.
