摘要: Genetic modification of stem cells could be applied to initiate/enhance their secretion therapeutic molecules, alter biological properties, or label them for in vivo tracking. We recently developed a negatively charged gene carrier (“anioplex”) based on pullulan-spermine, conjugate prepared from natural polysaccharide and polyamine. In rat mesenchymal (MSCs), anioplex-derived reporter activity was comparable exceeded that obtained using commercial cationic lipid reagent. Transfection the growth medium with 15% serum antibiotics approximately sevenfold more effective than serum-free conditions. Cytotoxicity essentially indiscernible after 24 h anioplex transfection 20 μg/mL DNA, contrast resulted 40%–60% death target MSCs. Anioplex-derived persisted throughout entire 3-week study, post-transfection MSCs appearing maintain osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic mul...
