Background

Gene therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to transfer exogenous genetic material, such as mRNA, into cells in order to correct a genetic defect or induce the expression of a specific desired protein. It's very powerful because this technology can be used to correct inherited diseases or treat diseases with a relative understanding of pathophysiology. However, the most important problem in gene therapy is to develop an efficient, safe and convenient gene vector. The appearance of lipopolyplex provides a new way to solve this problem.

  • Introduction of Lipopolyplex

Lipopolyplex is a ternary complex of cationic liposome, polycation and nucleic acid. It is the second generation of non-viral gene vector developed after the first generation of cationic liposome complex. Specifically, mRNA molecules are encapsulated in a polymer core loaded into a phospholipid bilayer shell structure. The obtained structure can not only protect the mRNA molecules in the multi-node core structure from the attack of RNA enzyme, but also be internalized effectively by dendritic cells (DCs). In DCs, particles are transported through the vector system, and the mRNA molecules are released into the cytoplasm to generate antigens.

  • Advantages of Lipopolyplex for mRNA Delivery

Lipopolyplex combines the advantages of polyplex and lipoplex. Due to their synergistic effect, lipopolyplex shows superior colloidal stability, lower cytotoxicity and high gene transfection efficiency. There are many strategies based on lipopolyplex to overcome the complex biological vectors in gene delivery, including:

  • Condensation of nucleic acids into nanoparticles
  • Long circulation
  • Cells target
  • Endosomal escape
  • Release to cytoplasm
  • Enter cell nucleus

Lipopolyplex Preparation Services

As an innovative, promising and DNA-based alternative therapy strategy, mRNA-based therapy has attracted widespread attention. At present, Scientists of Creative Biolabs focus on the delivery system of nucleic acids, and have developed the most advanced, non-viral, self-assembled complex vector for mRNA. Lipopolyplex is one of them. Our lipopolyplex vectors provide efficient and repeatable strategies for mRNA delivery to a variety of cells. This delivery mechanism simulates mRNA delivery in several key ways, including active entry (endocytosis), homeostasis, and release.

Relying on the experience in gene therapy research, Creative Biolabs is committed to developing and commercializing vector systems for mRNA delivery. Our long-term goal is to become a leader in the development and commercialization of technologies that will accelerate and enhance discoveries of gene delivery systems for gene therapy research and applications.

Published Data

This study designed a lipopolyplex mRNA vaccine that enhances anti-tumor immunity. The lipopolyplex consists of an mRNA core made from poly-(β-amino ester) polymer and encapsulated within a lipid shell of EDOPC/DOPE/DSPE-PEG. This structure facilitates efficient entry into dendritic cells via macropinocytosis and protects mRNA from enzymatic degradation. The vaccine showed significant adjuvant activity by stimulating the production of interferon-γ and interleukin-12 via Toll-like receptor 7/8 signaling, enhancing antigen presentation. In a mouse model with lung metastatic B16-OVA tumors, the lipopolyplex demonstrated potent anti-tumor effects, suggesting its potential as an effective mRNA vaccine delivery system.
