Competitive Binding and Molecular Crowding Regulate the Cytoplasmic Interactome of Non-Viral Polymeric Gene Delivery Vectors

ABSTRACT: In contrast to the processes controlling the complexation, targeting and uptake of polycationic gene delivery vectors, the molecular mechanisms regulating their cytoplasmic dissociation remains poorly understood. Upon cytosolic entry, vectors become exposed to a complex, concentrated mixture of molecules and biomacromolecules. In this report, we characterise the cytoplasmic interactome associated with a polycationic vector based on poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) and poly(2-methacrylolyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride) (PMETAC) brushes. To quantify the contribution of different classes of low molar mass molecules and biomacromolecules to RNA release, we develop a kinetic model based on competitive binding. Our results identify the importance of competition from highly charged biomacromolecules, such as cytosolic RNA, as a primary regulator of RNA release. Importantly, our data indicate the presence of ribosome associated proteins, proteins associated with translation and transcription factors that may underly a broader impact of polycationic vectors on translation. In addition, we bring evidence that molecular crowding modulates competitive binding and demonstrate how the modulation of such interactions, for example via quaternisation or the design of charge-shifting moieties, impacts on the long-term transfection efficiency of polycationic vectors. Understanding the mechanism regulating cytosolic dissociation will enable the improved design of cationic vectors for long term gene release and therapeutic efficacy.

Project description:In vertebrates, all cells except circulating blood cells must adhere to support their normal growth and functions. The adherence to extracellular matrix and/or other cells is critical and adherent cells placed in non-adherent conditions either die or form multicellular spheroids. Placing cells in non-adherent conditions has been used to induce differentiation in teratocarcinoma cells and more recently to form organoids . Because of such important consequences induced by cell adhesion on cell growth and function, the transition between adherent and non-adherent states is rather rare. There are however physiological situations, such as blood cells diapedesis, during which cells that circulate into the blood stream must adhere to the endothelial cells and cross the endothelial barrier to reach target tissues. Another example of transition, from an adherent to a non-adherent state, is observed in the metastasic process, where cells detach from the tumor mass and circulate in the blood and lymphatic vasculature prior to reattaching and extravasating to colonize distant organs. The comparative analysis of the only effects of adherence on cellular functions is complicated by the fact that in many study models the acquisition or loss of adherence induces major alterations in cell physiology that would obscure the effects of the adherence itself. For example, P19 teratocarcinoma cells differentiate in suspension spheroids while they do not in adhering conditions. In this context, the comparison between spheroids and adherent cells would not be a comparison between adherent and non-adherent cells, but between differentiated cells adhering between them and undifferentiated cells adhering on plastic. Mouse macrophage cell lines represent one of the rare experimental models that may be suitable to compare the adherent and non-adherent states. Indeed, they grow equally well under adherent and non-adherent conditions and keep their differentiated functions under both conditions. We therefore decided to use this model to analyze the changes between the adherent and the non-adherent state using a broad approach, based on proteomics.
