| Abstract | A novel cationic polymer was developed by conjugating imidazole and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on poly(N-(8-aminooctyl)acrylamide) (P8Am) for complexing with pDNA to exhibit high gene expression with low cytotoxicity and the resistance against erythrocyte agglutination and serum inhibition. Cytotoxicity results indicated that these P8Am derivatives with varying substitutions were more biocompatible than unmodified P8Am and PEI control. Moreover, the particle size and zeta potential experiment demonstrated that they were capable of complexing pDNA into sub-micrometer (135-625 nm) and positively charged (+10 to +43 mV) particles, while the high degree of substitution might impede their pDNA complexation ability that formed less positive and larger polyplexes. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that the cellular uptake efficiency was dependent on the degree of substitution; low degree of substitution would mediate high uptake efficiency. The gene-transfection ability, evaluated by luciferase assay, revealed low substitution in P8Am-IM11 (substituted with 11 mol% imidazole moieties) and P8Am-PG7 (substituted with 7 mol% PEG moieties) in transfected cells more efficient than unmodified P8Am. Therefore, a multi-functional P8Am derivative, P8Am-IM11-PG7, containing both imidazole and PEG, was developed according to the optimized contents. In the presence of serum, P8Am-IM11-PG7 polyplexes significantly enhanced the gene-transfection efficiency relative to unmodified P8Am polyplexes. Moreover, they exhibited minimal cytotoxicity and the erythrocyte aggregation assay showed that P8Am-IM11-PG7 polyplexes had good blood compatibility as compared to P8Am and PEI polyplexes. This indicated that, by chemical modification, P8Am-IM11-PG7 could possess the required abilities to overcome the difficulties encountered in gene transfection and be a promising alternative of a gene carrier. |

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.
