What is Cationic liposome?
Cationic liposomes are the core components of nanoparticles, with a common structure of a positively charged head group and one or two hydrophobic tail regions made of hydrocarbon chains or steroid structures.
Synthesis method for cationic lipid
- Design based on cholesterol, such as DC-cholesterol and GL-67 lipid
- Design based on non-cholestero, such as DOTAB, DDAB and DOTMA, DOTAP
Different endocytic pathways may be related to the composition of cationic liposomes
- Lipid complexes composed of DC-Chol or DOPE-based cationic liposomes preferentially enter cells through raft-mediated endocytosis.
- Liposomes including 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) or cationic liposomes based on oleoyl phosphocholine are absorbed by non-specific liquid phase giant cell phagocytosis.
The lipid composition of liposomes affects the structural properties and transfection efficiency of cationic lipids
Cationic liposomes composed of 3β-[ N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)carbamoyl]cholesterol (DC-Chol) and DOPE are considered to be representative liposomes that effectively deliver genes . For the delivery of plasmid DNA, the most effective molar ratio of DC-Chol to DOPE was found to be 1:2. The transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA decreases as the weight ratio of DC-Chol to plasmid DNA increases, and the highest efficiency is 3:1.

Advantages of Cationic liposome
Cationic liposomes are used to deliver various nucleic acids, such as plasmid DNA, antisense oligonucleotides, and siRNA. As a nucleic acid delivery system, cationic liposomes have many advantages.
- First, cationic liposomes are biodegradable after in vivo administration. Endogenous enzymes can break down the lipid components of liposomes. The unparalleled biocompatibility of liposomes among various nanocarriers has led to the use of cationic liposomes to deliver various siRNAs for in vivo studies.
- The lipid component's adjustment of surface charge density can control the interaction force with negatively charged nucleic acids.
- The inclusion of pegylated lipids or functional lipids can enable various surface modifications of liposomes.
- In addition, the inclusion of lipophilic chemicals in the lipid bilayer of cationic liposomes can co-deliver anticancer drugs and therapeutic nucleic acids.
