1 In vivo delivery of transcription factors with multifunctional oligonucleotides Murthy Laboratory U.C. Berkeley Department of Bioengineering

2 Nrf2 plays a central role in protecting cells from oxidative stress

3 Galactose DART Nrf2 promoter sequence Endosomal disruption labile linkage Gal DNA Assembled Recombinant Transcription Factor Delivery (DARTs)

4 Hydrolyzed DART pH 5 in endosome Unmasked hydrophobic domain Nrf2 release in cytoplasm DART-Nrf2 Receptor mediated endocytosis DARTs are designed to deliver Nrf2

5 DARTs undergo pH sensitive hydrolysis

6 DARTs are pH sensitive membrane disruptive agents

7 DARTs can deliver Nrf2 to cells Nrf2DART-Nrf2

8 HO1 NQO1 GCLC GAPDH Control Free Nrf2DART-Nrf2 DARTs can deliver Nrf2 to hepatocytes and transcribe downstream genes

9 DARTs are designed to deliver Nrf2 and treat liver disease

10 APAP - + + + DARTs can deliver Nrf2 in vivo and rescue mice from drug induced liver toxicity

11 Infection Imaging Diagnosing infections at an early stage is a central challenge in medicine

12 Maltodextrin Transporter The maltodextrin transporter is an ideal target for imaging bacteria MDPs Ning et al. Nature Materials 2011, 10(8), 602-607.
