タイトル Remarkably size-regulated cell invasion by artificial viruses. Saccharide-dependent self-aggregation of glycoviruses and its consequences in glycoviral gene delivery.
ジャーナル J Am Chem Soc
Abstract We here report a novel example of artificial glycoviral vectors constructed via number- and size-controlled gene (pCMVluc, 7040 bp) coating with micellar glycocluster nanoparticles (GNPs) of calix[4]resorcarene-based macrocyclic glycocluster amphiphiles having eight or five saccharide moieties with terminal alpha-glucose (alpha-Glc), beta-glucose (beta-Glc), or beta-galactose (beta-Gal) residues. The resulting glycoviruses are compactly packed (approximately 50 nm) and well charge-shielded (zeta approximately equal 0 mV), undergo saccharide-dependent (alpha-Glc > beta-Gal > beta-Glc) self-aggregation, and transfect cell (Hela and HepG2) cultures as triggered by the pinocytic form of endocytosis. The semilogarithmic linear size-activity correlation suggests that size-restricted pinocytosis (<100 nm) is effective only for monomeric viruses. The activities of oligomeric and otherwise poorly active beta-Gal-functionalized viruses toward hepatic HepG2 cells are approximately 10(2)-times higher than expected on the size basis, owing to the receptor-mediated specific pathway involving the asialoglycoprotein receptors on the hepatic cell surfaces. The scope and prospect of artificial glycoviruses are discussed.
