Abstract:

Objective(s): PEI based nanoparticle (NP) due to dual capabilities of proton sponge and DNA binding is known as powerful tool for nucleic acid delivery to cells. However, serious cytotoxicity and complicated conditions, which govern NPs properties and its interactions with cells practically, hindered achievement to high transfection efficiency. Here, we have tried to optimize the properties of PEI/ firefly luciferase plasmid complexes and cellular condition to improve transfection efficiency. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, firefly luciferase, as a robust gene reporter, was complexed with PEI to prepare NPs with different size and charge. The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles were evaluated using agarose gel retardation and dynamic light scattering.  MCF7 and BT474 cells at different confluency were also transfected with prepared nanoparticles at various concentrations for short and long times. Results: The branched PEI can instantaneously bind to DNA and form cationic NPs. The results demonstrated the production of nanoparticles with size about 100-500 nm dependent on N/P ratio. Moreover, increase of nanoparticles concentration on the cell surface drastically improved the transfection rate, so at a concentration of 30 ng/ìl, the highest transfection efficiency was achieved. On the other side, at confluency between 40-60%, the maximum efficiency was obtained. The result demonstrated that N/P ratio of 12 could establish an optimized ratio between transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity of PEI/plasmid nanoparticles. The increase of NPs N/P ratio led to significant cytotoxicity. Conclusion: Obtained results verified the optimum conditions for PEI based gene delivery in different cell lines.

Biodegradable cross-linked poly(amino alcohol esters) based on LMW PEI for gene delivery.

Polyethylenimine (PEI, especially with M(w) of 25,000) has been known as an efficient gene carrier and a gold standard of gene transfection due to its high transfection efficiency (TE). However, high concomitant cytotoxicity limited the application of PEI. In this report, several cationic polymers derived from low molecular weight (LMW) PEI (M(w) 600) linked with diglycidyl adipate (DA-PEI) or ...

Morphology, Structure and Function Characterization of PEI Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles Gene Delivery System

Modified magnetic nanoparticles are used as non-viral gene carriers in biological applications. To achieve successful gene delivery, it is critical that nanoparticles effectually assemble with nucleic acids. However, relatively little work has been conducted on the assemble mechanisms between nanoparticles and DNA, and its effects on transfection efficiency. Using biophysical and biochemical ch...

P-77: Optimization of Ovine FSH Gene Expression in The Pichiapastoris System byRegulating The Culture Conditions

Background: Ovine follicle stimulation hormone (OFSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein and belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones. This hormone plays a key role in the function of the reproductive system: it is essential for sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis in testis and it stimulates the growth of ovulatory follicles in females. Ovine FSH hormone is a heterodimeric hormone consisti...
