    摘要: There is disclosed a composition and a method for the efficient non-viral delivery of nucleic acids to cells using chitosan. In order to achieve high efficiency of transfection, the composition contains a nucleic acid and a chitosan that has the following physico-chemical properties: a combination of a number-average molecular weight between 8 kDa and 185 kDa and a degree of deacetylation between 72% and 92%. The chitosan molecule can also present additional physiochemical properties such as a block distribution of acetyl groups obtained by a heterogeneous treatment of chitin, and/or a polydispersity index between 1.4 and 7.0. By correctly controlling these parameters, efficient delivery systems may be produced that are effective when optimized for different conditions such as the pH of transfection media and amine-to-phosphate ratio.

    摘要: There is disclosed aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes that can be neutralized by increasing temperature, under suitable polyelectrolyte charge state conditions, in order to obtain a homogeneous gel. This can be achieved by adding an appropriate weak electrolyte to the polyelectrolyte so that an increase of temperature will lead to a spatially homogeneous neutralization of the polyelectrolyte via proton transfer between the polyelectrolyte and the weak electrolyte. The ability of such a system to be thermally sensitive and to gel upon heating relies on the temperature dependence of the ionization equilibrium for the two components. This thermally induced neutralization reduces electrostatic repulsion between polyelectrolyte molecules allowing the manifestation of attractive polyelectrolyte-polyelectrolyte hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding that result in gel formation. These new kinds of thermo sensitive gels can be used for biomedical applications.

    摘要: Chitosan delivers a plasmid encoding Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) to cells in a patient for gene therapy of diabetes. Chitosan is optimized for plasmid transfection by modulating three of its physico-chemical properties: degree of deacetylation (DDA), molecular weight (MW), and ratio of amines on chitosan to phosphates on DNA (N:P ratio), Chitosan 92-10-5 (DDA-MW-N:P) is more efficient than chitosans 80-10-10 and 80-80-5 in delivering a plasmid encoding luciferase or GLP-1(7-37) to cells. In the Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rat model of diabetes, chitosan-delivered pVax plasmid encoding GLP-1 lowers glucose levels, increases insulin production and reduces weight gain.
