Background
The immunogenicity and instability of mRNA are important reasons limiting the research application of mRNA. Compared to DNA, mRNA mediates superior transfection efficiency and longer protein expression times. However, the mRNA coding information covers the sequence of the ribosome-generated protein, and the protein must be encoded by delivering the protein into cells until modified nucleotides are introduced into the sequence of the mRNA, and a carrier capable of delivering the mRNA is developed, so that the technical problem in the application process is basically solved.
mRNA chains are long-chain macromolecules with negative charges, and the surface of a cell membrane also has negative charges, so that the mRNA molecules are difficult to automatically combine with the cell membrane and penetrate through the cell membrane to enter the cell through electrostatic repulsion. Currently, the delivery of mRNA into cells can be achieved by different methods, such as electroporation, sonoporation, microinjection or transfection of compounds, but the cytotoxicity and biosafety of these methods are difficult to meet clinical requirements and clinical transformation is difficult.
