Background:

Nonviral systems are crucial for nucleic acid delivery, but face challenges in toxicity, immunogenicity, and targeting specificity.
Linear cationic polymers incorporating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) show promise for in vivo delivery of DNA, DNAzymes, and siRNAs.
Targeting ligands can be incorporated to enhance cellular uptake by specific cell types expressing cognate receptors.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a protocol for using cyclodextrin-containing polycations (CDPs) for in vivo nucleic acid delivery.
To highlight the importance of salt stabilization and cell targeting for successful in vivo transfection with CDPs.
To detail the role of adamantane-poly(ethylene glycol) (AD-PEG) conjugates in formulating stable and targeted polyplexes.

Main Methods:

Formulation of polymer-nucleic acid complexes (polyplexes) using CDPs.
Incorporation of adamantane-poly(ethylene glycol) (AD-PEG) conjugates, including AD-PEG-Ligand, for stability and targeting.
Optimization of AD-PEG-Ligand conjugate concentration based on polyplex stability and target cell receptor density.

Main Results:

CDPs demonstrate effectiveness in delivering various nucleic acids in vivo.
AD-PEG conjugates, both unmodified and ligand-conjugated, are critical for salt stabilization and cell targeting.
The concentration of AD-PEG-Ligand conjugates must be carefully considered to balance polyplex stability and targeting efficacy.

Conclusions:

Cyclodextrin-containing polycations provide a versatile platform for in vivo nucleic acid delivery.
Strategic use of AD-PEG conjugates is essential for optimizing the performance of CDPs in vivo.
Challenges related to ligand size and charge need to be addressed for successful polyplex formulation and targeted delivery.
