In recent years, they have aroused the interest of scientists because of specific binding to CD44 receptors, which are overexpressed in several types of tumors. Methods: In this study, HA- and CD-modified poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) copolymers were synthesized and applied to encapsulate 1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP)/pDNA (D/P) lipoplex as CD44 receptor targeting gene delivery nanoparticles (NPs). Results: The particle size of CD-PEG-PLGA-D/P (186.8 ± 21.7 nm) was smaller than that of HA-PEG-PLGA-D/P (270.2 ± 13.8 nm), with narrow size distribution, and both HA-PEG-PLGA-D/P NPs and CD-PEG-PLGA NPs possessed negative zeta potentials (-39.63 ± 5.44 mV and -38.9 ± 2.0 mV, respectively), which prevent erythrocytes from agglutination. Both NPs exhibited pH-dependent release and had faster release in pH 4.0 than in pH 7.4. Generally, the CD-PEG-PLGA-D/P NPs possessed less cytotoxicity than HA-PEG-PLGA-D/P NPs. The D/P-loaded HA-PEG-PLGA and CD-PEG-PLGA NPs expressed significantly higher transfection in CD44 high-expressed U87 (30.1% ± 2.1% and 40.7% ± 4.3%, respectively) than in CD44-negative HepG2 (3.3% ± 1.5% and 1.4% ± 1.0%, respectively) (p < 0.001). It was revealed that the endocytosis of HA-PEG-PLGA-D/P NPs was majorly dominated by macropinocytosis and the endocytosis of CD-PEG-PLGA-D/P NPs was dominated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The high selectivity to CD44-positive U87 cancer cells and low cytotoxicity in L929 normal cells assured the promising potential of CD-PEG-PLGA NPs as gene delivery nano-carriers.
