Abstract

Non-viral vectors represent an important alternative in gene delivery. Among these vectors, cationic liposomes are widely studied, because of their ability to form stable complexes with DNA fragments (lipoplexes). In the present work, we report on the characterization by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements of cationic liposomes and of their complexes with oligonucleotides. Liposomes were made with a zwitterionic lipid, DOPE, and a cationic lipid, either DOTAP or DC-Chol. Oligonucleotides were the 20-base single strand polyA, the 20-base single strand polyT, and the corresponding double strand dsAT. The zeta potential as a function of the oligonucleotide/lipid+ ratio gave an S-shaped titration curve. Well-defined surface potential changes took place upon charge compensation between the cationic lipid heads and the phosphate groups on the oligonucleotides. The inversion point depended on the specific system under study. The bilayer properties and the changes that occurred with the incorporation of DNA fragments were also monitored by ESR spectroscopy of appropriately tailored spin probes. For all the systems investigated, the ESR spectra showed that no major alteration took place after lipop...Continue Reading
