Different Incubation Times of Cells After Gene Electrotransfer in Fetal Bovine Serum Affect Cell Viability, but Not Transfection Efficiency
Tóm tắt
Electroporation as a delivery method is increasingly important in gene therapy, not only in vivo but also in in vitro experimental systems. Different applications of gene electrotransfer require high viability of cells and high transfection efficiency of gene electrotransfer. It was already demonstrated that the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) immediately after gene electrotransfer leads to improved cell survival and transfection efficiency. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine whether prolonged incubation of cells in FBS, for more than standard 5 min, can lead to increased transfection efficiency and improved cell survival. Different murine melanoma and murine and human endothelial cell lines were transfected with plasmid encoding green fluorescent protein and then incubated for different periods of time in FBS (5–30 min). Transfection efficiency was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy and cell survival by cell viability assay. Prolonged incubation of cells in FBS after gene electrotransfer had varying effect on cell survival, which was decreased in melanoma cell lines B16F1 and B16F10, minimally affected in SVEC4-10 and HUVEC cells and increased in 2H11 cell at 30 min of incubation time in FBS. On the other hand, transfection efficiency of gene electrotransfer was not affected by long incubation of cell in FBS, regardless of the cell line used. The results of our study emphasize the importance of optimization of gene electrotransfer protocol for particular cells and specific purposes of gene electrotransfer, taking into account the importance of transfection efficiency and cell survival.
