The invention discloses a cationic angelica
polysaccharide nanoparticle gene delivery system. The
system is a
gene delivery system of angelica
polysaccharide combined
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) plasmids modified by amine compounds, wherein molecular
weight distribution of angelica polysaccharides is 30 to 50KD and 80 to 100KD; the
mass ratio of the cationic angelica
polysaccharide to the
DNA plasmids is (1-200):1; and the particle
diameter of the cationic angelica polysaccharide-
DNA plasmid nancomposite is 21 to 77nm. The
system has the characteristics that: 1, the angelica polysaccharide has various biological activities such as
immune regulation activity, anti-aging activity,
anticoagulation activity and the like, is safe and biologically degradable, does not have
immunogenicity and isprepared with a simple, economic and convenient process; and 2, all the three cationic angelica polysaccharides have good DNA
plasmid combination effect and
gene delivery expression effect. Positive charges carried by primary amine, secondary amine and
tertiary amine groups combined with saccharide chains can be effectively combined with the DNA plasmids with negative charges through an electrostatic effect, so that the plasmids are protected from being degraded by various enzymes inside and outside cells.
