摘要: Brain capillary endothelial cells (BCECs) have been considered as one of the primary targets for cerebral gene therapy. However, cells, well-known their poor function endocytosis, are difficult to be transfected by general non-viral vectors. The aim this study was enhance efficiency transfection and expression in BCECs DNA/polymer nanoparticles with modification membrane-penetrating peptide, Antennapedia peptide (Antp) polyethylenimine (PEI) polyamidoamine (PAMAM) were chosen prepare Antp-modified DNA-loaded a complex coacervation technique. After 20-min transfection, efficiency, terms expression, DNA/PEI NP or DNA/PAMAM enhanced significantly Antp. 3-h DNA/Antp/PEI NP, there no difference cellular uptake but an enhancement compared alone. both using These observations suggest that Antp can increase ability nanoparticles, which employed novel
