Previously, we reported that cationic nanoparticles (NP) composed of diamine-type cholesteryl-3-carboxamide (OH-Chol, N-(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethyl)cholesteryl-3-carboxamide) and Tween 80 could deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) with high transfection efficiency into tumor cells. In this study, we synthesized new diamine-type cationic cholesteryl carbamate (OH-C-Chol, cholesteryl (2-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)ethyl)carbamate) and triamine-type carbamate (OH-NC-Chol, cholesteryl (2-((2-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)ethyl)amino)ethyl)carbamate), and prepared cationic nanoparticles composed of OH-C-Chol or OH-NC-Chol with Tween 80 (NP-C and NP-NC, respectively), as well as cationic liposomes composed of OH-C-Chol or OH-NC-Chol with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) (LP-C and LP-NC, respectively) for evaluation of their possible use as siRNA delivery vectors. LP-C and LP-NC/siRNA complexes (lipoplexes) exhibited larger gene silencing effects than NP-C and NP-NC/siRNA complexes (nanoplexes), respectively, in human breast tumor MCF-7 cells, although the NP-C nanoplex showed high association with the cells. In particular, LP-NC lipoplex could induce strong gene suppression, even at a concentration of 5 nM siRNA. From these results, cationic liposomes composed of OH-NC-Chol and DOPE may have potential as gene vectors for siRNA transfection to tumor cells.
