제목 Cationic amino acid - conjugated polyamidoamine(PAMAM) dendrimer for enhanced transfection efficiency
초록 Gene transfer using non-viral gene delivery carrier is being performed instead of viral gene delivery carrier that tend potent cytotoxicity. However non-viral gene delivery carrier has low transfection efficiency. We introduced Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer(generation 4) that is widely used as a non-viral and cationic vector for gene delivery. Amino acid - conjugated PAMAM dendrimer induce not only enhancement of transfection efficiency but also a decrease in toxicity. We synthesized PAMAM G4-Histidine-Lysine(G4HK) / Ornithine(G4HO) and compared this study with previous results(PAMAM G4–Histidine-Arginine, G4HR). Cationic amino acid contributes to condensation of DNA and contact with cell surface. Histidine has Imidazole group that induce buffer(proton sponge) effect in endosome.
