Abstract

Cationic liposome has been studied as one of the most promising non-viral gene delivery systems. In this report, we describe a new synthesized cholesterolic cationic lipid (2-aminoethylcarbamate-cholesterol) and dioleylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) improve the cellular uptake properties of antisense ODNs, as well as plasmid DNA with low toxicity. This formulation of cholesterolic cationic lipid termed Chol-E, efficiently transfects ODNs and plasmids into many cell types in the presense or absence of 10% serum in the medium.

콜레스테롤 유래의 양이온성 리피드 2-aminoethylcarbamate-cholesterol(Chol-E)를 합성하여 이의 리포좀을 제조하였다. 리포좀은 다양한 비율로 중성지방인 DOPE와 섞어서 만든 후 $100{\sim}200nm$의 membrane으로 extrusion시켜 균일한 리포좀을 제작하여 크기 및 전위를 측정하였다. 형광단백질 및 luciferase plasmid의 발현을 여러가지 세포에서 확인한 결과 우수한 발현양상을 보였으며 혈청이 있는 조건에서도 발현이 증가임을 볼수 있었으며, 합성 ODNs의 전달도 adipocyte cell 에서도 잘 이루어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다 임상실험에 쓰이는 저독성의 DC-chol에 비교하여도 독성이 적은 리포좀임을 알 수 있으며 혈청하에서도 안정하게 유전자를 전달할 수 있는 응용성이 기대되는 새로운 리포좀을 제조하였음을 알 수 있다.
