Effective design of nanoparticle systems can have a significant impact on therapeutic delivery. Physicochemical factors including size, shape and surface chemistry of nanoparticles can play a significant role in determining the efficacy of drug and gene delivery to cells. Polymeric as well as inorganic nanoparticle systems have been investigated as vehicles for nonviral gene delivery of transgenes. However, a head-to-head comparison of these different systems is largely lacking. In this study, we compare three related delivery systems, polymer, polymer-templated gold nanospheres and polymer-coated gold nanorods, for their respective in vitro transgene expression efficacies. Significant differences were seen in the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential for each of these different vehicles. Nevertheless, transgene (luciferase) expression efficacies and cytotoxicities were found to be similar for these three vehicles under different conditions. Our results indicate that polymeric systems can be used for synthesis or modification of nanoparticle systems with negligible variations in their transgene expression efficacies. This can have significant implications for generating polymer-nanoparticle theranostic systems that maintain therapeutic (e.g., nucleic acid) delivery efficacies, while also possessing additional functionalities, including

We report a physiologically stable and cytocompatible glucose-responsive nonviral gene delivery system made up of boronate functionalized polymeric material. Herein, we utilize boronate cis-diol interactions to develop a glucose-responsive submicron particle (SMP) system. The stability of the boronate interaction at a physiological pH was achieved by copolymerization of dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and the formation of a complex with polyvinylalcohol (PVA) which is governed by cis-diol interactions. The shift in hydrodynamic diameter of SMPs was observed and correlated with increasing glucose concentrations at a physiological pH. Optimal transfection was observed for a 5 µg dose of the gaussia luciferase reporter gene in NIH3T3 cells without any adverse effect on cellular viability. The destabilization of the AAPBA–PVA complex by interacting with glucose allowed the release of encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a glucose-responsive manner. In total, 95% of BSA was released from SMPs at a 50 mM glucose concentration after 72 h. A two-fold increase in transfection was observed in 50 mM glucose compared to that of 10 mM glucose.

AbstractTo investigate the structure–function correlation analysed by full-field electroretinography (ffERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in typical and pericentral subtypes of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). A retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study of right eyes was conducted. The primary analysis used ffERG data to compare the RP subtypes. The subgroup analysis was used to correlate the structure, analysed by OCT, and function, determined by ffERG. Linear regressions explored the relationship between best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and multiple parameters. A total of 188 eyes were included. Amplitudes of responses of rod, rod-cone, cone, and 30 Hz flicker of typical type were lower than those of pericentral and other types. In the subgroup analysis, 41 and 21 eyes of the typical and pericentral types were studied, respectively. The correlation between the estimated preserved photoreceptor area and all ffERG amplitude parameters were significant in the typical type, but not in pericentral type. Old age, decreased intact ellipsoid zone length, typical type, and thin central retinal thickness were negatively correlated with BCVA. Typical type RP developed more extensive degeneration and poorer BCVA compared to others. Strong structure–function correlation was found in typical type while not in pericentral type. OCT may be a useful tool for monitoring RP status in typical type, providing useful parameters for the prediction of BCVA.
