WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM VIRUS IN DESIGNING NONVIRAL GENE VECTORS
Gene therapy has emerged as a potential new approach to treat genetic disorders by delivering therapeutic genes to target diseased tissues. However
its clinical use has been impeded by gene delivery systems. The viral vectors are very efficient in delivering and expressing their carried genes
but they have safety issues in clinical use. While nonviral vectors are much safer with very low risks after careful material design
but their gene transcription efficiency is too low to be clinically used. Thus
rational design of nonviral vectors mimicking the viral vectors would be a way to break this bottleneck. This review compares side-by-side how viral/nonviral gene vectors transcend these biological barriers in terms of blood circulation
cellular uptake
endosome escape
nucleus import and gene transcription.
