Several ternary composites that are based on branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI 25 kDa, polydispersity 2.5, 0.1 or 0.2 ng), citrate-coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (citrate-NPs, 8-10 nm, 0.1, 1.0, or 2.5 µg), and reporter circular plasmid DNA pEGFP-C1 or pRL-CMV (pDNA 0.5 µg) were studied for optimization of the best composite for transfection into glioblastoma U87MG or U138MG cells. The efficiency in terms of citrate-NP and plasmid DNA gene delivery with the ternary composites could be altered by tuning the bPEI/citrate-NP ratios in the polymer composites, which were characterized by Prussian blue staining, in vitro magnetic resonance imaging as well as green fluorescence protein and luciferase expression. Among the composites prepared, 0.2 ng bPEI/0.5 μg pDNA/1.0 µg citrate-NP ternary composite possessed the best cellular uptake efficiency. Composite comprising 0.1 ng bPEI/0.5 μg pDNA/0.1 μg citrate-NP gave the optimal efficiency for the cellular uptake of the two plasmid DNAs to the nucleus. The best working bPEI concentration range should not exceed 0.2 ng/well to achieve a relatively low cytotoxicity.
研究了几种基于支化聚乙烯亚胺(25 kDa,多分散性2.5,0.1或0.2 ng)、柠檬酸盐包覆的超小超顺磁性氧化铁纳米颗粒(柠檬酸盐-NPs,8-10 nm,0.1、1.0或2.5 μg)以及报告基因环状质粒DNA pEGFP-C1或pRL-CMV(pDNA 0.5 μg)的三元复合材料,以优化用于转染成胶质细胞瘤U87MG或U138MG细胞的最佳复合材料。通过调整聚合物复合材料中bPEI/柠檬酸盐-NP的比例,可以改变三元复合材料在柠檬酸盐-NP和质粒DNA基因递送方面的效率,这些复合材料通过普鲁士蓝染色、体外磁共振成像以及绿色荧光蛋白和荧光素酶表达进行表征。在所制备的复合材料中,0.2 ng bPEI/0.5 μg pDNA/1.0 μg柠檬酸盐-NP三元复合材料具有最佳的细胞摄取效率。包含0.1 ng bPEI/0.5 μg pDNA/0.1 μg柠檬酸盐-NP的复合材料在将两种质粒DNA摄取到细胞核方面具有最佳效率。为了实现相对较低的细胞毒性,最佳工作bPEI浓度范围不应超过0.2 ng/孔。
