Description

Gene delivery vector, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application particularly relates to a gene delivery vector, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biochemistry.
Background
Gene therapy (Genetherapy) refers to the process of introducing a foreign gene into a specific cell or tissue of a patient and properly expressing the gene, thereby correcting or compensating a disease caused by a gene defect or abnormality, and finally achieving the therapeutic purpose. The research result of gene therapy has been widely used in the treatment of vascular diseases, genetic diseases, tumors and other diseases, and the new medical means is an important component of current biological therapy and becomes a new research focus in the medical field.
Currently, the most commonly used delivery vectors in gene therapy include viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Although the viral vector has better transgenic performance under most conditions, the application of the viral vector in clinical treatment, basic research and other aspects is restricted due to the defects of high immunogenicity, high toxicity, low gene load, poor specificity and targeting, complex preparation process, difficult realization of large-scale production and the like, and particularly the safety problem of the viral vector is more and more emphasized by researchers. Compared with the viral vector, the non-viral vector has the advantages of good biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, large gene load capacity, strong targeting specificity, easiness in preparation and the like, so that the non-viral vector becomes an important component of the current gene therapy transfer vector.
Polyethyleneimine (Poly (ethylene imine), PEI) has been successfully reported by Boussif et al in the nineties of the last century to have the potential to be a gene transfer vector, a material that has been of great interest. Through continuous research, polyethyleneimine has been developed as one of the most superior materials for transfection performance in synthetic polycation type gene therapy vectors.
However, studies have shown that the cytotoxicity and transgenic properties of polyethyleneimine are strongly related to their molecular weight. PEI with high molecular weight has relatively better transfection properties, but has a larger molecular weight, too high a positive charge density and cannot be decomposed by the body, thus exhibiting greater cytotoxicity. PEI with lower molecular weight has a remarkably reduced transfection performance, although it has low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Meanwhile, the PEI carrier with high molecular weight and low molecular weight is polymerized, so that the PEI carrier has molecular weight polydispersity, meanwhile, the preparation process and batch have the problems of instability, incomplete repeatability and the like, and the application of PEI is affected to a certain extent.
Researchers have found that if high molecular weight PEI (HMW-PEI) is modified with PEG, surface charge can be effectively shielded, toxicity can be significantly reduced, and in vivo circulation can be prolonged, but the modification can lose the 'sponge effect' of HMW-PEI and prevent the HMW-PEI from escaping from endosomes, so that transfection efficiency is reduced. There have also been attempts by researchers to graft low molecular weight PEI (LMW-PEI) onto a dextran backbone or a biodegradable polycarbonate backbone using isocyanate or the like as a linking agent to overcome the drawbacks of LMW-PEI. However, isocyanates are relatively toxic and difficult to remove entirely, otherwise additional cytotoxicity can occur. Polycarbonates have acid instability, and in particular degrade faster in the environment surrounding cancer cell tissue, and thus have shorter in vivo circulation times.
And researchers use LMW-PEI to initiate NCA ring opening to obtain PEI-polypeptide graft copolymer, and the polymer has low toxicity and good transfection efficiency, but has low preparation efficiency, has strict requirements on raw material purity and the like, has high cost, and is not beneficial to large-scale production. In addition, researchers also prepare a reduction-sensitive cross-linked PEI vector by Michael addition of Cystamine Bisacrylamide (CBA) and 800 Da PEI, the optimal transfection effect of the vector is similar to that of PEI 25kDa, the toxicity is obviously reduced, but the molecular weight distribution of the product is difficult to control, and the process stability is not high, so that the vector has no practical value.
