The Mechanism of Lipofectamine 2000 Mediated Transmembrane Gene Delivery
In this paper, the relatived mechanism between lipofectamine 2000 mediated transmembrane gene delivery and endocytic pathway were investigated. Clathrin and caveolae-mediated endocytic pathway contributions to transfection efficiency were studied. The inhibitors of endocytosis were used to treat HEp-2 cells before lipofectamine 2000/pGFP-N2 transfection. Transfection efficiency was evaluated wi...
متن کاملSynergistic effects on gene delivery--co-formulation of small disulfide-linked dendritic polycations with Lipofectamine 2000.
This paper describes the application of gene delivery vectors based on connecting together two well-defined low-generation poly(L-lysine) (PLL) dendrons using a disulfide-containing linker unit. We report that the transfection ability of these vectors in their own right is relatively low, because the low-generation number limits the endosomal buffering capacity. Importantly, however, we demonst...
متن کاملThe intracellular trafficking mechanism of Lipofectamine-based transfection reagents and its implication for gene delivery.
Lipofectamine reagents are widely accepted as "gold-standard" for the safe delivery of exogenous DNA or RNA into cells. Despite this, a satisfactory mechanism-based explanation of their superior efficacy has remained mostly elusive thus far. Here we apply a straightforward combination of live cell imaging, single-particle tracking microscopy, and quantitative transfection-efficiency assays on l...
متن کاملOptimization of SW480 Colon Cancer Cells Transfection with Lipofectamine 2000
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Nonviral carriers including those based on synthetic cationic lipids, offer several advantages over the viral counterparts. These carriers are able to form complexes with nucleic acids and deliver genes into the cells via the cellular endocytosis pathway, without significant toxicity. The level of transg...
متن کاملUltrasound-Mediated Gene Delivery
Human gene therapy holds great promise in treating not only hereditary genetic disorders, but also disease states such as cancer and viral infections, and contingencies such as stroke or myocardial infarctions. It can be achieved by delivery of a correct gene into target cells with genetic deficiency or mutations, or by transfer of a therapeutic agent such as agents targeting a cancer-causing o...
