abstract

background: the magnetic nanoparticle-based transfection method is a relatively new technique for delivery of functional genes to target tissues. we aimed to evaluate the transfection efficiency of rat neural stem cell (nsc) using poly-l-lysine hydrobromide (pll)-coated super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spion). methods: the spion was prepared and coated with pll as transfection agent and the transfection efficiency was evaluated in rat nsc using enhanced green fluorescent protein-n1 plasmid containing gfp as a reporter gene. nsc was incubated for 24 h in cell culture media containing 25 µg/ml spion and in different concentrations of pll (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1 and 2 µg/ml). cell viability was determined before and after transfection for every concentration using trypan blue assay. characterization of prepared uncoated (spion) and coated (spion-pll) complexes were evaluated by a transmission electron microscope and the zeta potential. results: pll at 0.75μg/ml showed optimal results with 25 μg/ml spion concentration compared with other pll concentrations (0.25, 0.50, 1 and 2 μg/ml). the 18% efficiency with the transfected cells showed green fluorescence. conclusion: transfection with spion is an efficient, non-viral gene transfere method.

Improved biocompatibility and efficient labeling of neural stem cells with poly(L-lysine)-coated maghemite nanoparticles

BACKGROUND Cell tracking is a powerful tool to understand cellular migration, dynamics, homing and function of stem cell transplants. Nanoparticles represent possible stem cell tracers, but they differ in cellular uptake and side effects. Their properties can be modified by coating with different biocompatible polymers. To test if a coating polymer, poly(L-lysine), can improve the biocompatibil...

Genetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein

Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...

Poly-l-lysine-coated magnetic nanoparticles as intracellular actuators for neural guidance

PURPOSE It has been proposed in the literature that Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) could be exploited to enhance or accelerate nerve regeneration and to provide guidance for regenerating axons. MNPs could create mechanical tension that stimulates the growth and elongation of axons. Particles suitable for this purpose should possess (1) high saturation magnetization, (2) a negligible cy...
