| Research Abstract |
In order to design amphiphilic glycopolymers for targeted therapy of liver, oligosaccharide-carrying polymers which can recognize various kinds of liver cells were synthesized. Polymeric micel of lactose-carrying polystyrene (PVLA) and its coated nanoparticle were found out to be efficiently incorporated into hepatocyte mediated by asialogly coprotein receptor (ASGP-R). Poly (lactic acid) nanopaticles coated with PVLA involving caspase inhibitor (Z-Asp) were successfully targeted to hepatocytes in liver and effectively released to rescue hepatitis related cell apoptosis.
The transfections of ASGP-R consisting of hepatic lectin 1 and 2 (HL-1,2) into CHO-Kl cells indicated that oligomeric association of HL-1 and 2 are responsible to higher cell-recognition of PVLA-coated nanoparticle.
Based on the finding, dendritic graft copolymers of poly (L-lysine) main chain and arabiogalactan (β-galactos rich multi-anntenary polysaccharide) as DNA carrier were synthesized and evaluated for the recognition by ASGP-R of hepatocytes and hepatoma cells.
Hyaluronic acid carrying poly (L-lysine) were also synthesized to be applied for specific DNA-targeting to liver sinusoidal endothelial cells.
The concept of supramolecular-assembly systems such as polymeric micels, nanoparticles and polymer complex are successfully proposed.
