Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Nanotechnology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Gene therapy requires efficient and safe delivery vectors.
  • Cationic lipids are widely explored for nucleic acid delivery.
  • Novel lipid designs are needed to improve transfection efficiency and reduce toxicity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize novel tri-peptide cationic lipids for DNA and siRNA delivery.
  • To evaluate the physicochemical properties and gene delivery capabilities of these lipids.
  • To assess the *in vitro* and *in vivo* efficacy and toxicity of the lead lipid candidate.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of tri-peptide cationic lipids with tri-lysine/tri-ornithine head groups, carbamate linkers, and alkyl tails.
  • Preparation of cationic liposomes and characterization of particle size, Zeta potential, and DNA-binding.
  • In vitro gene transfection studies in NCI-H460 and Hep-2 tumor cells.
  • In vivo studies in mice using combined siRNAs targeting c-Myc and VEGF in lung tumors.

Main Results:

  • Novel tri-peptide cationic lipids were successfully synthesized and formulated into liposomes.
  • Liposomes exhibited suitable physicochemical properties (particle size, Zeta potential, DNA-binding) for gene delivery.
  • Efficient delivery of DNA and siRNA into NCI-H460 and Hep-2 tumor cells was demonstrated.
  • The selected lipid, CDO14, effectively delivered combined siRNAs *in vivo*, silencing oncogenic pathways in lung tumors with low toxicity.

Conclusions:

  • Tri-peptide cationic lipids represent a promising class of non-viral vectors for gene delivery.
  • The developed liposomes show high transfection efficiency and low toxicity, suitable for therapeutic applications.
  • CDO14 demonstrates potential for targeted gene silencing in lung cancer therapy.
