Abstract
Development of safe and effective gene delivery systems is essential in treating ocular genetic disorders. A hybrid nonpan>viral system composed of a multifunpan>ctionpan>al lipid ECO and a G4 nanoglobule was designed for efficient gene delivery into RPE cells at low charge ratios. This system formed stable DNA nanoparticles at low N/P ratios, exhibited low cytotoxicity, and induced higher GFP expression in ARPE-19 cells at N/P = 6. The hybrid nanoparticles mediated significant reporter gene GFP expression ex-vivo in the retina from wild type C57 mice and in vivo in BALB/c mice. These hybrid nanoparticles are promising for in vitro and in vivo gene delivery at low charge ratios.Entities:
