Abstract

Steric stabilization of cationic lipid-DNA (CL-DNA) complexes is required for their use in vivo, but PEGylation (PEG; polyethylene glycol) of CL-DNA complexes reduces their efficacy as gene delivery vectors in vitro [1]. One approach to improving gene delivery with PEGylated CL-DNA nanoparticles is to covalently attach a targeting peptide at the distal end of PEG. We have developed PEGylated CL-DNA nanoparticles with an RGD or iRGD motif present at the distal end of PEG2000 and studied their efficacy and mechanism of entry in vitro.
