Efficient cytosolic protein delivery is necessary to fully realize the potential of protein therapeutics. Current methods of protein delivery often suffer from low serum tolerance and limited in vivo efficacy. Here, we report the synthesis and validation of a previously unreported class of carboxylated branched poly(β-amino ester)s that can self-assemble into nanoparticles for efficient intracellular delivery of a variety of different proteins. In vitro, nanoparticles enabled rapid cellular uptake, efficient endosomal escape, and functional cytosolic protein release into cells in media containing 10% serum. Moreover, nanoparticles encapsulating CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) induced robust levels of gene knock-in (4%) and gene knockout (>75%) in several cell types. A single intracranial administration of nanoparticles delivering a low RNP dose (3.5 pmol) induced robust gene editing in mice bearing engineered orthotopic murine glioma tumors. This self-assembled polymeric nanocarrier system enables a versatile protein delivery and gene editing platform for biological research and therapeutic applications.

Cytosolic protein delivery is of central importance for the development of protein-based biotechnologies and therapeutics; however, efficient intracellular delivery of native proteins remains a challenge. Here, we reported a boronic acid–rich dendrimer with unprecedented efficiency for cytosolic delivery of native proteins. The dendrimer could bind with both negatively and positively charged proteins and efficiently delivered 13 cargo proteins into the cytosol of living cells. All the delivered proteins kept their bioactivities after cytosolic delivery. The dendrimer ensures efficient intracellular delivery of Cas9 protein into various cell lines and showed high efficiency in CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. The rationally designed boronic acid–rich dendrimer permits the development of an efficient platform with high generality for the delivery of native proteins.

A new platform for drug, gene and peptide-protein delivery is emerging, under the common name of “extracellular vesicles”. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are 30-1000 nm-sized cell-derived, liposome-like vesicles. Current research on EVs as nano-delivery systems for small-molecule drugs and genetic material, reveal that these tiny, biologically-derived vesicles carry a great potential to boost the efficacy of many therapeutic protocols. Several features of EVs; from efficacy to safety, from passive to active targeting ability, the opportunity to be biologically or chemically labelled, and most importantly, their eobiotic origin make them promising candidate for development of the next generation personalized nanomedicines. The aim of this article is to provide a view on the current research in which EVs are used as drug/genetic material delivery systems. Their application areas, drug loading and targeting strategies, and biodistribution properties are discussed.This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.
