Lipid-DNA particles (LDPs) interact with anionic surfaces, like cell membranes, by altering surface charge. Microelectrophoresis shows LDP binding, not free lipids, causes these charge reversal effects.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Lipid-based systems are crucial for DNA delivery.
  • Understanding interactions with anionic cell membranes is key for effective delivery.
  • Electrokinetic measurements offer insights into surface charge and binding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model lipid-DNA particle interactions with anionic surfaces.
  • To investigate the role of cationic lipids and LDPs in altering surface charge.
  • To characterize binding mechanisms using microelectrophoresis.

Main Methods:

  • Microelectrophoresis was used to measure electrophoretic mobility of anionic latex beads.
  • Liposomes with cationic lipids (N-N-dioleoyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride - DODAC) were prepared.

  • Self-assembling lipid-DNA particles (LDPs) were formed at varying charge ratios and tested for binding.

    • Main Results:

    • Cationic lipids incorporated into liposomes altered bead mobility.
    • LDPs showed no mobility change at charge ratios ≤ 1.
    • Charge reversal was observed at a 1:1 net LDP to bead charge ratio, confirmed by centrifugation.
    • LDP binding, not free lipids, caused the observed mobility changes.

    Conclusions:

    • LDPs effectively interact with anionic surfaces, modulating their charge.
    • Electrokinetic measurements are valuable for characterizing LDP-surface interactions.
    • The binding of intact LDPs is responsible for the observed charge reversal, crucial for DNA delivery systems.
