The efficient delivery of therapeutic gene into cells of interest is a critical challenge to broad application of non-viral vectors. The approach of introducing ligands that lead gene vectors to target caveolae-mediated endocytosis on nanoparticle surface might serve as a promising strategy for the effective gene transfection. Recently, in an attempt to enhance the possibility of caveolae-mediated endocytosis, we fabricated a peptide-targeted gene vector for highly efficient receptor-mediated intracellular delivery. Cyclic Asn-Gly-Arg (cNGR) peptide was used to target gene loaded poly( lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (PLA-PEG NPs) to HUVEC over-expressing CD13. Using 6-lauroxyhexyl lysinate (LHLN) as cationic surfactant, cNGR modified PLA-PEG NPs (cNGR-PEG-PLA NPs) were capable of complexing and compacting DNA into homogeneous small-sized complexes (
