摘要
Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) (15-mers) conjugated to adamantyl acetic acid and labeled with fluorescein have been prepared, and their (liposome mediated) uptake in human cells in culture (HeLa, IMR-90 and MDA-MB-453) has been studied by confocal fluorescence microscopy. It is found that adamantyl-PNAs show greatly improved (endosomal) cellular uptake, but that this uptake is dependent on the cell line. Cellular uptake of such lipophilic PNAs is further mediated by cationic liposomes, and in some cases, the intracellular localization is diffuse cytoplasmic or nuclear, again cell-type dependent. The results show that this simple PNA modification can indeed greatly improve cellular uptake, but the effect appears strongly cell-type as well as PNA-sequence dependent.
