Embodiment 2

[0063] Example 2: Screening of transfection efficiency of protein transfection material library

[0064] The protein transfection material prepared in Example 1 and BSA-FITC formed a complex at room temperature, and then transfected on HeLa cells, and the protein transfection efficiency of the material was evaluated by detecting the green fluorescence level in living cells. The specific method is as follows: culture HeLa cells in a 48-well plate and incubate for 24 hours, mix 4 microliters of BSA-FITC with different doses of materials respectively, add 50 microliters of serum-free medium and incubate for 30 minutes. After adding 150 microliters of serum-free medium, the cells were incubated with the cells for 4 hours before processing the cells. The efficiency of BSA-FITC transfection was evaluated by quantitatively analyzing the green fluorescence level in living cells by flow cytometry. The specific method is as follows: 4 hours after BSA-FITC protein transfection, the cell...

[0066] Embodiment 3: the comparison of transfection efficiency of protein transfection material F4-1, F3-3 and the method of protein modification penetrating peptide (TAT)

[0067] After the BSA protein surface was grafted with different proportions of penetrating peptides (TAT) (respectively 2, 4, and 6), compared with the protein transfection materials F4-1 and F3-3 in Example 1, BSA-FITC transfection Dyeing efficiency. The specific method is: the protein transfection materials F4-1, F3-3 prepared in Example 1 and BSA-FITC form a complex at room temperature, and then transfect on HeLa cells, by detecting the green fluorescence in living cells Evaluate the protein transfection efficiency of the material horizontally. Penetrating peptide modified BSA-FITC was used as a control. The specific method is as follows: culture HeLa cells in a 48-well plate and incubate for 24 hours, mix 4 micrograms of BSA-FITC with different doses of materials respectively, add 50 microliters of s...

Abstract

The present invention provides an application of a fluorine-containing polymer represented by formula (1) in the intracellular delivery of proteins and small peptides, the fluorine-containing polymer includes branched polyethyleneimine and fluorine-containing alkane functional groups, The fluorine-containing alkane functional group is covalently connected to the branched polyethyleneimine; the fluorine-containing macromolecule can be used as a transfection carrier for proteins and / or small peptides. The method of using the fluorine-containing polymer as an intracellular delivery carrier of proteins and small peptides provided by the invention can achieve high transfection efficiency, has little toxicity to cells during the transfection process, and can maintain the biological activity of proteins and small peptides after transfection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of biotechnology, macromolecular chemistry, cell biology and the like, in particular to the application of fluorine-containing macromolecules in the intracellular delivery of proteins and small peptides. Background technique [0002] Protein transfection refers to the introduction of exogenous proteins, small peptides, etc. into cells, so as to achieve the purpose of disease treatment and biological research. The main challenge of current protein transfection lies in the lack of efficient and safe transfection techniques. Due to the large molecular weight and hydrophilic characteristics of proteins, small peptides and other molecules, more than 70% of the proteins expressed in the genome cannot pass through the cell membrane barrier, which requires the help of protein transfection technology. The existing protein transfection methods mainly include (1) modifying the penetrating peptide on the protein or small peptid...
