反义寡核苷酸脂质体复合物性质对细胞摄入行为的影响

目的研究影响反义寡核苷酸脂质体复合物的性质和细胞摄取的因素。方法逆相蒸发法制备3种不同的空白脂质体,与反义寡核苷酸混合得到复合物,显微镜观察其形态,琼脂糖电泳分析载药量,流式细胞仪测定阳性细胞百分率和平均荧光强度。结果高电荷密度的脂质体和低离子强度介质可使复合物发生凝聚,载药量和细胞摄入量依赖于空白脂质体和药物的比例以及脂质体膜表面的电荷密度。结论阳离子脂质体可以提高载药量和细胞的摄入,其程度与复合物比例、脂质体膜表面电荷密度等有关。

STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTISENSE OLIGODEOXY-NEUCLEOTIDES-LIPOSOMES COMPLEX AND CELLULAR UPTAKE

AIM: To investigate factors affecting the properties of antisense oligodeoxy nucleotides (ASON)-liposomes complex and their cellular uptake. METHODS: Three types of blank liposomes were prepared by reverse-phase evaporation vesicles, and the complex were obtained through physical absorption. The light microscope was used to observe morphology characteristics of the complex. Drug loading capacity was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The transfected cell percentage and means fluorescence intensity were determined by flow cytometric analysis using M3 myeloma cell as a model. RESULTS: The neutral liposome showed no aggregation while the cationic liposomes appeared some different extent aggregation in different medium when associated antisense oligodeoxynucleotides. The drug loading capacity depended on the ratio of +/- and the cationic charge density on the lipid membrane. The two kinds of cationic liposomes appeared different principles of loading ASON. As far as cellular uptake, The neutral liposomes showed no improvement of cellular uptake of ASON. However, the cationic liposomes were shown to enhance the cellular uptake of ASON if the appropriate +/- charge ratio was used. The optimal cellular uptake was achieved when +/- charge ratio was at 0.5:1 and 1:1 for SA-I liposome and SA-II liposomes, respectively. CONCLUSION: The cationic liposomes improved the loading capacity and cell uptake of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, which was determined by +/- charge ratio and charge density.
