An efficient endosome-escaping function was integrated into the polyplex of plasmid DNA (pDNA) with poly(L-lysine) (PLys) to improve its gene transfection efficiency through electrostatic coating with charge-conversional polymer (CCP). CCP showed charge-conversional function responding to endosomal pH, leading to the release of pDNA/PLys polyplex into the cytoplasm. The cells took up the intact CCP-integrated ternary polyplex, which exerted appreciably higher transfection efficiency with lower cytotoxicity than pDNA/PLys polyplex against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). This is consistent with the facilitated endosomal escape of the CCP-integrated ternary polyplex compared to the pDNA/PLys polyplex as directly observed with confocal laser-scanning microscopy.
