General description

Transfection Reagent I comprises the cationic lipid 1,2-dioleoyloxypropyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP) and the neutral lipid DOPE (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. DOTAP is a surfactant with double chain quaternary ammonium. The DOTAP/DOPE liposome takes lamellar and inverted hexagonal structures.

Application

Transfection Reagent I has been used in the preparation of liposomes along with cholesterol for fluorescence-based live-cell imaging studies in the mouse embryonic fibroblasts cells. It may be used for the transfection of DNAzyme (Dz13) into veins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transfection Reagent I is used in large unilamellar cationic vesicles (LUVs) preparation and lipoplex generation. It improves transfection efficiency. DOTAP/DOPE (1,2-dioleoyloxypropyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride /(1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) is safe transfection agent for human administration. It inhibits the blood vessel thickening and is a promising candidate for use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is among the most commonly performed heart surgical procedures. Saphenous vein graft failure due to stenosis impedes the longer-term success of CABG. A key cellular event in the process of vein graft stenosis is smooth

Cationic liposome (lipoplex) and polymer (polyplex)-based vectors have been developed for nonviral gene delivery. These vectors bind DNA and enter cells via endosomes, but intracellular transfer of DNA to the nucleus is inefficient. Here we show that lipoplex and polyplex

The effects of lipid compositions on their physicochemical properties and transfection efficiencies were investigated. Four liposome formulations with different 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP) to dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) weight ratios were investigated, that is, weight ratios 1:0 (T1P0), 3:1 (T3P1), 1:1 (T1P1), and 1:3
