pH responsivenanogels (DD-NGs) with different degrees of crosslinking were synthesized through dispersion polymerization. In this polymerization
dextran modified with acrylic acid (Dex-AA) served as the crosslinker. 2-(Dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) was the monomer
thus the nanogels changed the particle size at different pH values. Ammonium persulfate (APS) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) were the initiator and the promoter
respectively. The structure and ability of mediating siRNA transfection of the DD-NGs were characterized. Also
for the DD-NGs/siRNA complexes
their particle size
zeta potential
TEM assay
pH sensitive cellular uptake (by confocal laser scan microscopy and flow cytometry) were investigated. The results indicated that the DD-NGs/siRNA complexes were positively charged and DD-NGs could mediate siRNA into tumor cells. Both in HeLa-Luc cells and Huh7-Luc cells
the complexes of the two kinds of DD-NGs and siRNA downregulated about 50% luciferase reporter gene
indicating an excellent efficiency of gene silencing. Moreover
the cellular cytotoxicity assay was performed
and both DD-NGs showed non-cytotoxicity compared with PEI25k toward HeLa-Luc cells and Huh7-Luc cells
achieving 70% cell viability at the concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. The DD-NGs/siRNA complexes showed positive charge (13-15 mV)
and suitable particle size (50-100 nm) for systemic circulation at physiological pH (pH=7.4)
but the complexes swelled to a much larger particle size (150-250 nm) at tumor matrix (pH=6.8)
revealing a particle size changeable property with pH. Particle size measurement and TEM assay accurately supported this conclusion. Finally
flow cytometry assay was conducted to measure quantitatively the cellular uptake ability of the DD-NGs/siRNA complexes by HeLa-Luc cells at pH=7.4 and 6.8. Because of the variation in particle size
an enhanced cellular uptake at tumor matrix (pH=6.8) was obtained compared with the physiological condition at pH=7.4. CLSM images redefined this result. A much brighter fluorescence intensity generated by Cy5-labeled-RNA was observed. The as-prepared nanogels exhibited pH-enhanced tumor targeting ability and cellular uptake without introducing any targeting molecules.
