How to Deliver sgRNA?
To deliver sgRNA into target cells one must go beyond simply introducing nucleic acids into the cells. Multiple advanced techniques protect sgRNA from degradation while enabling cellular entry and establishing efficient Cas9 protein binding. The success of sgRNA delivery boosts the efficiency of gene editing while reducing off-target effects and enhancing CRISPR application specificity.
Key Challenges in sgRNA Delivery
- Stability: The extracellular environment contains nucleases which degrade sgRNA rapidly. Successful delivery necessitates protective packaging strategies to preserve RNA integrity.
- Cellular Uptake: For successful gene editing sgRNA needs to be absorbed by target cells using lipid-based formulations or electroporation alongside other possible methods.
- Cell Specificity: Each cell type creates distinct hurdles for sgRNA delivery. Successful application in multiple biological models demands specific delivery methods tailored to each target cell type.

sgRNA Delivery Systems from BOC Sciences
BOC Sciences offer an array of delivery systems tailored to meet the diverse needs of sgRNA delivery. Each system is carefully selected and optimized to ensure the highest levels of transfection efficiency, minimal toxicity, and enhanced specificity. The following delivery methods are available, including both traditional and advanced techniques:
- Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs): LNPs encapsulate sgRNA, protecting it from degradation and enhancing cellular uptake via endocytosis. These nanoparticles are ideal for both in vitro and in vivo applications, providing stability and efficient delivery.
- Electroporation: Effective for difficult-to-transfect cells, such as primary cells and stem cells, electroporation uses an electrical field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, allowing sgRNA to enter the cell efficiently.
- Viral Vectors: Lentivirus and adenovirus vectors offer high efficiency for stable sgRNA delivery. They are designed to target specific cells and integrate sgRNA into the genome for long-term gene editing.
- Polymer Complexes: These biodegradable polymers encapsulate sgRNA and facilitate controlled release, enhancing cellular uptake while minimizing toxicity. Ideal for both short- and long-term applications.
- Hydrodynamic Delivery: This technique involves rapid injection of sgRNA into the bloodstream, enabling systemic delivery for efficient gene editing across multiple organs or tissues, particularly in vivo.
- Cationic Nanoemulsions: These nanometer-sized emulsions are stabilized by surfactants and provide high transfection efficiency. Their cationic nature ensures effective electrostatic interactions with cell membranes, enhancing sgRNA uptake.
- Cationic Polypeptides: Synthetic peptides with positive charges bind to negatively charged sgRNA, promoting cellular uptake. These polypeptides are ideal for minimal toxicity and efficient delivery in stem cell and primary cell applications.
- Exosomes: Naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that can be engineered to encapsulate sgRNA, exosomes offer biocompatibility, reduced immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers, making them ideal for targeted in vivo applications.
- Liposomes: Liposomes are lipid-based vesicles that efficiently carry sgRNA and are effective for both in vitro and in vivo delivery. Their versatility, ease of modification, and biocompatibility make them a popular choice for gene-editing applications.
