Controlled intracellular delivery of genetic material for vaccine or other therapeutic applications in vivo remains a major challenge for non-viral delivery systems.[1, 2] As an alternative to cationic polymers and lipids commonly used to form nano-scale complexes for in vitro plasmid transfection,[3–6] microparticles made from biodegradable polymers such as poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) and acid-sensitive poly (ortho esters)(POEs) and hydrogels have been pursued as in vivo plasmid DNA carriers.[6–9] Due to their size (typically 1–10 μm), these particles passively target phagocytic antigen presenting cells (APCs) of the immune system for DNA vaccine applications.[8] In addition, these particles may alleviate the shortcomings of cationic polymers and lipids with regard to in vivo targeting, toxicity, and stability.[3] Despite their promise, microparticulate delivery systems explored to date often suffer from uncontrolled initial burst release of upwards of 50% of the encapsulated plasmid, independent of any built-in triggered-release mechanism, making it difficult to achieve rapid yet controlled release in response to a specific stimulus.[10] Furthermore, there have been few reports to date of attempts to extend the application of these systems to target non-phagocytic cells, which are present in much greater quantity throughout the body. Herein we report a tunable and modular microparticle system for plasmid delivery that, we hypothesized, would overcome these problems and simultaneously allow the systematic study of the dependence of transfection efficiency on various formulation parameters including degradation kinetics, use of cationic blend polymers, and surface functionalization for the transfection of non-phagocytic cells.We recently developed an acid-sensitive delivery system based on acetal-modified dextran (Ac-DEX, Figure 1a),[11] a hydrophobic polymer that can be readily processed into microparticles, which may address the delivery issues described above. Ac-DEX is unique in its ability to provide a tunable degradation rate that is readily controlled by varying the ratio of faster-hydrolyzing acyclic acetals to slower-hydrolyzing cyclic acetals on the polymer backbone.[12] Particle degradation rates can be tuned over the course of minutes to days under endosomal conditions (pH 5). Upon hydrolytic degradation, Ac-DEX reverts back to FDA-approved dextran without the generation of acidic byproducts, which could
