pubmed:abstractText
Polymeric nucleic acid carriers are designed to overcome one or more barriers to delivery. High molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) shows high transfection efficiency but exhibits high cytotoxicity (Fischer et al. Biomaterials, 24:1121-1131 (2003); Peterson et al. Bioconjug. Chem., 13:845-854 (2002)). Nontoxic water-soluble lipopolymer (WSLP) was previously developed using branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI, mw 1,800) and cholesteryl chloroformate (Han, Mahato, and Kim. Bioconjug. Chem., 12:337-345 (2001)) and is an effective non-viral gene carrier with transfection levels equal or above high molecular weight PEI with a lower cytotoxicity profile. To understand how differences in these polymeric carriers influence transfection, we studied the pharmacokinetics of polymer gene carriers at the cellular level.
