DNA delivery to cells can be improved by using particle carriers made from biodegradable polymers such as PLGA. It is speculated that addition of targeting moieties to the particle surface to facilitate uptake can further enhance gene expression in specific cells or tissues. Taking advantage of well-known receptor/ligand interactions in intestinal and renal epithelial cells, we formulated PLGA particles with high density of surface-bound BSA (∼768 molecules/particle). BSA-coated particles exhibited significantly higher uptake by cells expressing the albumin receptor, megalin, and resisted degradation in low pH. However, gene expression from BSA-coated particles was 3 to 10-fold lower than unmodified particles; this reduction in transfection efficiency was probably due to the slower DNA release rate from modified particles. In this setting, addition of a targeting feature to particles reduced their effectiveness. Our study highlights the importance of the interplay between cell uptake and payload release in the design of polymer drug carriers.
