| Research Abstract |
Over the past decade, antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODNs) have been recognized as a new generation of putative therapeutic agents. The use of ODNs as therapeutic tools requires that they enter target cells and interact with their cellular targets to have a therapeutic effects. However, ODNs are usually unable to enter most cell types with high efficiency. Therefore, some forms of efficient nuclear delivery system is essential.
Here, we use dpGapoE peptide, lipofectamin and ultrasound exposure techniques. We targeted the genes of endothelin type A and B receptors in coronary endothelial cells or smooth muscle cells. Although the percentage of transfected cells by ultrasound with micro bubbles (25%) was lower than that of lipofection (69%) under the fluorescence microscopy, the percentage was comparable to dpGapoE method. This is the first demonstrated use of an ultrasound exposure technique in a nonviral gene delivery system.
