Abstract
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) were respectively used to modify a kind of amphiphilic cationic nanoparticles to change their external hydrophilicity. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic modifications significantly influenced the gene transfection efficiency of these nanoparticles in vitro, due to different cellular uptake and endosomal escape efficacy.
