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.

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.

Dynamin-mediated Internalization of Caveolae

TL;DR: Functional in vivo studies as well as ultrastructural and biochemical analyses indicate that dynamin mediates both clathrin-dependent endocytosis and the internalization of caveolae in mammalian cells.

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

TL;DR: Fluorescence colocalization studies with a lysosomal marker, AlexaFluor-dextran, revealed that polyplexes taken up by clathrin-mediated endocytosis are targeted to the lysOSomal compartment for degradation, while the polyplexed via caveolae escape this compartment, permitting efficient transfection.

Cellular uptake of arginine-rich peptides: roles for macropinocytosis and actin rearrangement.

TL;DR: It is shown that the uptake of octa-arginine (R8) peptide by HeLa cells was significantly suppressed by the macropinocytosis inhibitor ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA) and the F-actin polymerization inhibitor cytochalasin D, suggesting a role for macrop inocytotic in the uptake and suggesting that penetratin and R8 peptides have distinct internalization mechanisms.
