Successful gene therapy requires stability and sufficient bioavailability of the applied drug at the site of action. In the case of RNA interference (RNAi), non-viral vectors play a promising role for delivering intact siRNA molecules. We selected a low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI F25-LMW) and investigated the biokinetics of PEI F25-LMW/siRNA polyplexes in comparison to non-complexed siRNA molecules upon intratracheal application into mice. Additionally, a bronchoalveolar lavage was performed to locate the siRNA within the different lung compartments and to analyse possible inflammatory reactions. Liquid scintillation counting of a 32P-label was used to follow the siRNA within the whole body. During the complete observation time more than 75% of the applied dose was found at the target site. The complexation with PEI F25- LMW prevented the siRNA from being degraded and cleared and prolonged its retention time. A low inflammatory reaction was observed on the basis of cell differentiation. Taken together, PEI F25-LMW meets fundamental requirements on non-viral vectors for local pulmonary siRNA delivery.

Polyamine-based vectors offer many advantages for gene therapy, but they are hampered by a limited knowledge on their biological fate and efficacy for nucleic acid delivery. The F radiolabeled siRNA is complexed with poly(allyl amine) hydrochloride (PAH), PEGylated PAH (PAH ), or oleic acid-modified PAH (PAH ) to form polyplexes, and injected them intravenously into healthy rodents. The biodistribution patterns obtained by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging vary according to the polymer used for complexation.

Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and Ang2 are ligands for the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie2. Structural data suggest that the two ligands bind Tie2 similarly. However, in endothelial cells Ang1 activates Tie2 whereas Ang2 can act as an apparent antagonist.
