Lipid-mediated enhancement of transfection by a nonviral integrin-targeting vector

Human Gene Therapy
Stephen L HartChristine Kinnon

Abstract

Nonviral vectors consisting of integrin-targeting peptide/DNA (ID) complexes have the potential for widespread application in gene therapy. The transfection efficiency of this vector, however, has been limited by endosomal degradation. We now report that lipofectin (L) incorporated into the ID complexes enhances integrin-mediated transfection, increasing luciferase expression by more than 100-fold. The transfection efficiency of Lipofectin/Integrin-binding peptide/DNA (LID) complexes, assessed by beta-galactosidase reporter gene expression and X-gal staining, was improved from 1% to 10% to over 50% for three different cell lines, and from 0% to approximately 25% in corneal endothelium in vitro. Transfection complexes have been optimized with respect to their transfection efficiency and we have investigated their structure, function, and mode of transfection. Both ID and LID complexes formed particles, unlike the fibrous network formed by lipofectin/DNA complexes (LD). Integrin-mediated transfection by LID complexes was demonstrated by the substantially lower transfection efficiency of LKD complexes in which the integrin-biding peptide was substituted for K16 (K). Furthermore, the transfection efficiency of complexes was shown t...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
