TLDR
This review covers the well-recognized clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), phagocytotic, and macropinocyTosis in addition to the less addressed pathways that take place in lipid rafts, and summarizes the regulators associated with each uptake pathway.

Role of clathrin- and caveolae-mediated endocytosis in gene transfer mediated by lipo- and polyplexes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of inhibitors of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (chlorpromazine and K(+) depletion) and of caveolae-mediated uptake (filipin and genistein) on internalization of FITC-poly-l-lysine-labeled DOTAP/DNA lipoplexes and PEI/DNA polyplexes by A549 pneumocytes and HeLa cells and on the transfection efficiencies of these complexes with the luciferase gene.

Cellular uptake and trafficking of antisense oligonucleotides

TL;DR: Although PS-ASOs function in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, localization to different subcellular regions can affect their therapeutic potency and the main proteins involved in these processes have been identified and intracellular sites in which PS ASOs are active, or inactive, cataloged.

Overcoming Nonviral Gene Delivery Barriers: Perspective and Future

TL;DR: This work presents the existing delivery barriers and summarize current vector-specific strategies to overcome said barriers, and focuses on the gene delivery barriers associated with the two most common classes of nonviral vectors, cationic-based lipids and polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonviral cancer gene therapy: Delivery cascade and vector nanoproperty integration.

TL;DR: This review analyzes the cancer gene‐delivery cascade and the barriers, the needed nanopro properties and the current strategies for overcoming these barriers, and outlines PEGylation, surface‐charge, size, and stability dilemmas in vector nanoproperties to efficiently accomplish the cancer genes delivery cascade.

Rapid endocytosis of interleukin 2 receptors when clathrin-coated pit endocytosis is inhibited

TL;DR: A model for receptor-mediated endocytosis is proposed that may account for results and published data on other receptors that suggest this cytokine and its receptors can still be rapidly endedocytosed in the absence of functional clathrin-coated structures.

Endocytosis and retrograde transport of Shiga toxin

TL;DR: New discoveries concerning endocytosis and retrograde transport of Shiga toxin to the Golgi, the ER and the cytosol are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct mechanisms of clathrin-independent endocytosis have unique sphingolipid requirements.

TL;DR: Both the in vivo membrane targeting and in vitro binding to artificial lipid vesicles of RhoA and Cdc42 were shown to be dependent upon sphingomyelin, the first evidence that SLs are differentially required for distinct mechanisms of clathrin-independent endocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortactin and dynamin are required for the clathrin-independent endocytosis of γc cytokine receptor

TL;DR: The results reveal the ubiquitous action of cortactin in internalization processes and suggest its role as a linker between actin dynamics and clathrin-dependent and -independent endocytosis.
