Binding intracellular targets by antibodies will bring new chances in antibody therapeutics and a huge market increase. We aim to evaluate the efficiency of a novel delivery system of His6-metal assembly (HmA) in delivering intracellular antibodies and biofunctions of delivered antibodies.Methods: In this study, the physicochemical properties of HmA@Antibodies generated through co-assembling with antibodies and HmA were well characterized by dynamic light scatter. The cytotoxicity of HmA@Antibodies was investigated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The endocytic kinetics and lysosome escape process of HmA@Antibodies were studied by flow cytometry and fluorescent staining imaging, respectively. Compared to the commercialized positive control, the intracellular delivery efficiency by HmA@Antibodies and biofunctions of delivered antibodies were evaluated by fluorescent imaging and CCK-8.Results: Various antibodies (IgG, anti-β-tubulin and anti-NPC) could co-assemble with HmA under a gentle condition, producing nano-sized (∼ 150 nm) and positively charged (∼+30 eV) HmA@Antibodies particles with narrow size distribution (PDI ∼ 0.15). HmA displayed very low cytotoxicity to divers cells (DCs, HeLa, HCECs, and HRPE) even after 96 h for the feeding concentration ≤ 100 μg mL− 1, and fast escape from endosomes. In the case of delivery IgG, the delivery efficiency into alive cells of HmA was better than a commercial protein delivery reagent (PULSin). For cases of the anti-β-tubulin and anti-NPC, HmA showed comparable delivery efficiency to their positive controls, but HmA with ability to deliver these antibodies into alive cells was still superior to positive controls delivering antibodies into dead cells through punching holes.Conclusion: Our results indicate that this strategy is a feasible way to deliver various antibodies intracellularly while preserving their functions, which has great potential in various applications and treating many refractory diseases by intracellular antibody delivery.Keywords: antibody, intracellular delivery, coordination polymer, nanocarrier, peptide assembly |
