Enhanced cellular delivery and transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA using positively charged biocompatible colloidal gold nanoparticles

초록

영어

Efficient and safe nonviral gene delivery systems are a prerequisite for the clinical application of therapeutic genes. In this study, we report an enhancement of the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA, via the use of positively charged colloidal gold nanoparticles (PGN). Plasmid DNA encoding for murine interleukin-2 was complexed with PGN at a variety of ratios. The delivery of pVAXmIL-2 into C2C12 cells was dependent on the complexation ratios between PGN and plasmid DNA, presented the highest delivery at a ratio of 2400:1. After complexation with DNA,
PGN showed significantly higher cellular delivery and transfection efficiency than did the polyethylenimines (PEI) of different molecular weights. PGN resulted in a cellular delivery of pVAXmIL-2 6.3-fold higher than PEI25K. The PGN/DNA complex resulted in 3.2- and 2.1-fold higher murine IL-2 protein expression than PEI25K/DNA and PEI2K/DNA complexes. Following i.m. administration, PGN/DNA complex showed more than 4 orders of magnitude higher expression levels as compared to naked DNA. The results of this study suggest that the PGN/DNA complexes may harbor the potential for efficient and safe gene delivery vehicles
