제목 Application of low molecular weight water soluble chitosan nanoparticle modified with folate for efficient gene delivery
초록 Gene therapy using LMWSC (low molecular water soluble chitosan) as polycationic polymer shows good biocompatibility, but low transfection efficiency. The mechanism of folic acid (FA) uptake in the cells to promote targeting and internalization could improve transfection rates. The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize WSCFA-DNA complex and evaluate their cytotoxicity in vitro. WSCFA nanoparticles have less cytotoxicity, good DNA condensation and particle size around 110nm, which makes them a promising candidate as a non-viral gene vector.
