Cholesterol Sequestration from Caveolae/Lipid Rafts Enhances Cationic Liposome-Mediated Nucleic Acid Delivery into Endothelial Cells.
Delivering nucleic acids into the endothelium has great potential in treating vascular diseases. However, endothelial cells, which line the vasculature, are considered as sensitive in nature and hard to transfect. Low transfection efficacies in endothelial cells limit their potential therapeutic applications. Towards improving the transfection efficiency, we made an effort to understand the internalization of lipoplexes into the cells, which is the first and most critical step in nucleic acid transfections. In this study, we demonstrated that the transient modulation of caveolae/lipid rafts mediated endocytosis with the cholesterol-sequestrating agents, nystatin, filipin III, and siRNA against Cav-1, which significantly increased the transfection properties of cationic lipid-(2-hydroxy- Topics: Animals; Caveolae; Caveolin 1; Cell Line, Transformed; Cholesterol; Clathrin; DNA; Endocytosis; Endothelial Cells; Filipin; Gene Expression; Liposomes; Membrane Microdomains; Nystatin; Phosphatidylethanolamines; Pinocytosis; Plasmids; Rats; RNA, Small Interfering; Transfection | 2021 |
