    摘要: Nucleic acid-imaging compositions and methods for noninvasive imaging of a nucleic acid introduced into somatic tissues of an animal or human are disclosed. The noninvasive imaging enables quantitative assessment of the biodistribution of the introduced nucleic acid. The disclosed imaging compounds include a base-binding moiety, a phosphate-binding moiety, and a metal-binding moiety. A chelated metal is non-invasively detected for imaging by radioactivity or magnetic resonance.

    摘要: Hyperbranched dendron (HD) polymers are synthesized using low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (BPEI-L) as a core and used for gene delivery. The obtained polymers display low toxicity and efficient gene delivery at low nitrogen-to-phosphate (N/P) ratios. Using successive attachment of ethyleneimine moieties to a PEI core, the polymer has a lower relative ratio of linear-to-branched structures than in the core PEI. The more extensive branching enables the polymer to condense plasmid DNA into nanostructure complexes with a size of less than or equal to about 100 nm. The complexes are stable and efficient in transfecting cells in the presence of serum. Bioluminescent imaging of in vivo gene expression using a luciferase reporter gene performed in live mice showed gene expression in the liver and in submandibular lymph nodes.

    摘要: The invention features methods of detecting enzymatic activity (e.g., in a magnetic resonance image). In general, the methods include: (1) providing a monomeric substrate (e.g., a substrate that is polymerizable in the presence of an enzyme or as a result of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction), having the generic structure X-Y-Z, where X includes a chelator moiety having a chelated paramagnetic or superparamagnetic metal atom or ion, Y includes a linker moiety (e.g., to provide a covalent or non-covalent chemical bond or bonds between X and Z), and Z includes a polymerizing moiety; (2) contacting the substrate with a target tissue, wherein the substrate undergoes polymerization to form a paramagnetic or superparamagnetic polymer, the polymerization being catalyzed by an enzyme in an extracellular matrix or bound to the surfaces of cells of the target tissue; and (3) detecting an increase in relaxivity for the polymer relative to an equivalent amount of unpolymerized substrate. The invention also features substrate compositions.
