In this study, we demonstrated the design and development of polymeric nanostructures having protein-encapsulation ability via self-assembly of hydrophobic amino acid derivatives-modified heparins. These nanostructures were found to exhibit nuclear permeation property through the interactions with nuclear pore complexes when the nanostructures were internalized into the cytoplasm of HeLa cells by electroporation. After that the nanostructures accumulated in the nucleus with high efficacy. HeLa cells treated with the nanostructures showed a similar doubling time with that of non-treated cells. These results indicate that the nanostructures could be useful as nuclear delivery carriers for functional proteins and protein drugs.
