PEGylated Calcium Phosphate Nanocomposites as Smart Environment‐Sensitive Carriers for siRNA Delivery

Abstract: A novel inorganic–organic hybrid nanocomposite is formed in situ using a simple and straightforward method. Conjugate of short interfering RNA (siRNA) duplex with poly(ethylene glycol) via a disulfide linkage (PEG–SS–siRNA) is demonstrated to regulate the crystal growth of calcium phosphate (CaP), yielding a monodispersed nanocomposite. The resultant nanocomposite can be utilized as nanocarriers for siRNA delivery.

“…[43][44][45] To a large extent, this is due the well-known biopassivation abilities of PEO 46 and the strong interaction of poly(electrolyte)s with inorganic ions [47][48][49][50] and surfaces. 47,48,[51][52][53] The combination of highly charged remineralizition-enhancing 48,49,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] or dissolution-limiting 63,64 polymer segments with the biopassivation of PEO is thus a viable strategy towards multifunctional polymers providing both anti-biolm and remineralization-enhancing behavior in one single system.…”

“…PEG-bp-CaP showed effectively and sustained transfection ability to cells in vitro with low toxicity. Zhang et al [18] developed CaP nanomicellar carriers which can efficiently keep siRNA in their CaP inner core by using PEG for regulating the size of the nanoparticles, which facilitated the internalization of siRNA by cells. The nanoparticles exhibited a well-defined spherical shape with a diameter of 100 nm and the thickness of PEG shell is about 10 nm.…”

“…The artificial HA is similar to the body's own HA with an excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability and non-immunogenicity vivo and vitro [14,15]. Research suggests that the inhibitory of HA had dose-dependent manner, which was better with the increasing of HA concentration.…”
