摘要

Chitosan, a natural, biodegradable polysaccharide found in crustacean shells, has found use in many biological and medical applications. Chitosan-DNA nanospheres have shown promising results in DNA vaccination in vivo (1). Modification to the nanospheres after synthesis, in order to improve gene transfection efficiency, has also been reported (2). Despite the potential of chitosan as a gene carrier, particularly in oral delivery, it is inefficient in many other tissues. In an attempt to understand the rate-limiting steps in transfection by these DNA nanoparticles, intracellular trafficking studies conducted in our lab have led to the observation that even after 24 hours post-internalization, some plasmid was still not released from the chitosan nanospheres intracellularly (3). Hypothesizing that excessive stability of the DNA nanospheres may be a detriment to efficient transfection, we investigated parameters that might lead to a less stable formulation. Decreasing the degree of deacetylation (DA) may facilitate DNA release from the nanospheres by increasing the chitosan degradation rate and reducing the number of free amines with which the phosphates in DNA can interact. This study looks at the effect of degree of deacetylation of chitosan on transfection efficiency in vitro.
