Co-delivery of different species of protein-encoding polynucleotides, e.g., messenger RNA (mRNA) and plasmid DNA (pDNA), using the same nanocarrier is an interesting topic that remains scarcely researched in the field of nucleic acid delivery. The current study hence aims to explore the possibility of the simultaneous delivery of mRNA (mCherry) and pDNA (pAmCyan) using a single nanocarrier. The latter is based on gelatin type A, a biocompatible, and biodegradable biopolymer of broad pharmaceutical application. A core-shell nanostructure is designed with a thermally stabilized gelatin–pDNA coacervate in its center. Thermal stabilization enhances the core’s colloidal stability and pDNA shielding effect against nucleases as confirmed by nanoparticle tracking analysis and gel electrophoresis, respectively. The stabilized, pDNA-loaded core is coated with the cationic peptide protamine sulfate to enable additional surface-loading with mRNA. The dual-loaded core-shell system transfects murine dendritic cell line DC2.4 with both fluorescent reporter mRNA and pDNA simultaneously, showing a transfection efficiency of 61.4 ± 21.6% for mRNA and 37.6 ± 19.45% for pDNA, 48 h post-treatment, whereas established commercial, experimental, and clinical transfection reagents fail. Hence, the unique co-transfectional capacity and the negligible cytotoxicity of the reported system may hold prospects for vaccination among other downstream applications.

Abstract Oxidized starch-graft-poly(styrene-butyl acrylate) [OS-g-P(St-BA)] latex was synthesized by the graft copolymerization of OS with St and n-butyl acrylate (BA) via emulsion polymerization. The graft copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of the amount of OS, monomers, and initiator on graft copolymerization were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the percentage of graft (PG), grafting efficiency (GE), and ζ potential could reach 256.5%, 41.7%, and -30.1 mV, respectively. The results indicated that the OS grafted onto particles greatly enhanced the colloidal stability of latex. The thermal stability properties of OS-g-P(St-BA) were also improved by the addition of OS. The OS-g-P(St-BA) latex may be used to partly replace the conventional synthetic latex for paper coating.
