摘要
Quantum dot (QD) and adenovirus (ADV) nanoparticles were surface-modified with graft copolymers that exhibited a charge reversal behavior under acidic condition. Poly(L-lysine) (PLL) was grafted with multiple biotin-PEG chains (biotin-PEG-PLL graft copolymer), and the remaining primary amine- groups in the PLL backbone were postmodified using citraconic anhydride, a pH-sensitive primary amine blocker, to generate carboxylate groups. The surfaces of streptavidin-conjugated QDs were modified with citraconylated biotin-PEG-PLL copolymer, producing net negatively charged QD nanoparticles. Under acidic conditions, citraconylated amide linkages were cleaved, resulting in the recovery of positively charged amine groups with subsequent alteration of surface charge values. Intracellular delivery of QD nanoparticles was greatly enhanced in an acidic pH condition due to the surface charge reversal. The surface of avidin-conjugated adenovirus (ADV-Avi) encoding an exogenous green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was also modified in the same fashion. The expression extent of GFP was significantly increased at more acidic pH than pH 7.4. This study demonstrates that various nanosized drug carriers, imaging agents, and viruses could be surface-engineered to enhance their cellular uptake specifically at a low pH microenvironment like solid tumor tissue.
