| Abstract | Dendrimer catiomers like dendrigraft poly-L-lysine (DGL) have been very popular vectors for gene delivery recently; however, they generally suffer from serious cytotoxicity for high density of positive charge. PEGylated DGL engineered using the PEG cleavable mechanism (DGL(R)-SS-mPEG) was first developed as a non-viral gene vector for cancer intervention. Cleavable PEGylation of the DGL catiomer in tumor relevant glutathione (GSH) conditions enables us to dramatically decrease the cytotoxicity as well as to promote the intracellular release and expression of the genetic payload. Like DGL, DGL(R)-SS-mPEG is capable of efficiently complexing with plasmid DNA (pDNA) to afford homogeneous compact nano-complexes. Those gene carrying nanostructures could be stably dispersed in the regular serum medium without GSH, but with fast PEG dis-assembly if subject to 10 mM GSH. Compared with the non-cleavable counterpart, PEG-cleavable dendrigraft poly-L-lysine exhibited significantly higher enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) expression against 293T cells. By using small interfering RNA (siRNA-VEGF) as the therapeutic gene payload, the complex nanoparticles demonstrated the pronounced inhibition effect on cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. The promising results revealed a universal strategy to balance disadvantages and advantages of dendrimer catiomers for future non-viral gene delivery vector. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
