Recent technology pays attention to exosomes, nanovesicles released from cells, since they provide a practical means of intercellular communication and transmission of macromolecules between cells. In this study, we propose an exosome-analogous drug delivery system which is established by using lipid/polymer hybrid vesicles with fusogenic peptide conjugates. Thanks to large size and slow dynamics of amphiphilic triblock copolymers at the bilayer membrane, the hybrid vesicles show long-circulating time and high drug loading efficiency. To evaluate the binding affinity of peptide conjugated-hybrid nanovesicles, the interaction force between an exosome and a cell is characterized via microscale thermophoresis. Finally, in vitro cell-penetration study demonstrates the practical applicability as a remarkable cell delivery nanocarrier. |
