This study aimed at revealing the relationship by using cationic liposomes having similar physical properties and different uptake pathways.Materials and Methods: We prepared cationic liposomes composed of amino acid-type lipids, K3C14 and K3C16, which have different uptake pathways by a hydration method, and fluorescently modified them by encapsulating FITC-dextran and surface conjugation with Alexa Fluor® 488 (AF488). Then, we investigated their intracellular distribution in HeLa cells over time.Results: The liposomes had similar physical properties and did not cause significant cell mortality after treatment for 180 min. The delivery rate and efficiency of encapsulated FITC-dextran with the fusogenic K3C16 liposomes were 3 and 1.6 times higher, respectively, than with the endocytic K3C14 liposomes. FITC-dextran molecules delivered with K3C16 liposomes were observed throughout the cytosolic space after 10 min, while those delivered with K3C14 liposomes were mainly observed as foci and took 60 min to diffuse into the cytosolic space. K3C14 lipids modified with AF488 were distributed mostly in the cytosolic space. In contrast, fluorescently labeled K3C16 lipids were colocalized with the plasma membrane of 50% of the HeLa cells after 10 min and were gradually internalized intracellularly.Conclusion: Fusogenic K3C16 liposomes internalized into HeLa cells faster than endocytic K3C14 liposomes, and their components differently distributed in the cells.Keywords: cationic liposome, amino lipid, intracellular delivery, endocytosis, membrane fusion, intracellular pharmacokineticsTakikawa MFujisawa MYoshino KTakeoka SDove Medical Pressarticlecationic liposomeamino lipidintracellular deliveryendocytosismembrane fusionintracellular pharmacokineticsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 8401-8409 (2020)
