Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research
Our purpose in this study is to develop nanomaterials capable of delivering therapeutic gene to desired sites, such as cancer tissues, by utilizing natural nanomaterials in our body. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a natural nanomaterial that delivers lipids from peripheral tissues to the liver in our body. Due to its physiological functions, HDL have a propensity to accumulate in liver via HDL receptor recognition of apoA-I moiety in HDL. In order to weaken this recognition in the liver and then to redirect HDL to desired sites, we designed 9 apoA-I deletion mutants and succeeded in preparation of 8 HDL mutants. Among them, a few HDL mutants were found to show decreased affinity to the HDL receptor.
