Transfection method
- 3. process of deliberately introducing nucleic acids into cells. often used for non-viral methods in eukaryotic cells. Cells that have incorporated the foreign DNA are called transfectants. Terminology Transfection: this term is reserved to describe nonviral gene delivery method in eukariotic in animal cell. Transformation: this term is reserved to describe nonviral gene delivery method in bacteria and nonanimal eukaryotic cell Transduction or infecion :is a reserved to define gene delivery method using viruses.
- 4. Type of transfection Transient transfection when DNA is not integrated into host genome but genes are expressed for a limited time( 24-96 hours(. the effect on target gene expression is temporary (24-72 hours for RNA probes, 48- 96 hours for DNA probes). used for studying: gene knockdown or silencing with inhibitory RNAs, or protein production on a small scale Stable or permanent transfection transfected genetic material is integrated into the host cell genome. used for studying: protein production on a large scale, longer-term pharmacology studies, gene therapy or research on the mechanisms of long-term genetic regulation.

- 10. Electrostatic interactions between the positive charges of cationic lipid head groups and the negatively charged phosphates of the DNA backbone are the main forces that allow DNA to spontaneously associate with cationic lipids. the cationic lipid is mixed with a neutral lipid such as L-dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine(DOPE)which can enhance the gene transfer ability of certain synthetic cationic lipids Cationic Lipids
- 11. The successful use of liposome compounds is dependent upon several factors including lipid formulation, particle size and the method of liposome preparation. An overall net positive charge of the complex allows closer association of the complex with the negatively charged cell membrane. Entry of the liposome complex into the cell: endocytosis or fusion with the plasma membrane via the lipid moieties of the liposome When liposomes encounter nucleic acids they re-form into nucleic acid lipid complexes called lipoplexes which can be actively taken up by eukaryotic cells by means of endocytosis

- 19. Dendrimers are highly branched, globular macromolecules that are capable of interacting with DNA to form small complexes. Positively charged amino groups (termini) on the surface of the dendrimer molecule interact with the negatively charged phosphate groups of the DNA molecule to form a DNA- dendrimer complex. Complexes bound to the cell surface are taken into the cell by nonspecific endocytosis. Dendrimers
- 20. Amino groups on the dendrimers that are unprotonated at neutral pH can become protonated in the acidic environment of the endosome. This leads to buffering of the endosome, which inhibits pH- dependent endosomal nucleases. Dendrimers are stable in biological liquids and are not sensitive to temperature. highly efficient tools for tissue culture transfections. However, dendrimers are also The downside of dendrimers non- biodegradable and may cause significant cytotoxicity.

Editor's Notes
- i.e., introduction of DNA (or RNA) from a prokaryote-infecting virus or bacteriophage into cells, resulting in an infection Transfection is a method that neutralizes or obviates the issue of introducing negatively charged molecules (e.g., phosphate backbones of DNA and RNA) into cells with a negatively charged membrane
- Thus. Transient transfection with mRNA can deliver even more rapid results than with conventional plasmid DNA, because mRNA can be expressed outside of the nucleus; in some systems, it is possible for transfected mRNA to be expressed only minutes after transfection. Although the production of large amounts of recombinant proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications (which is not available when expressing recombinant proteins in bacterial cells) traditionally has been limited to stably transfected cells, recent advances in transient transfection and cell culture methods are changing this. Ubiquitous cell culture lines such as HEK293 and CHO cells, modified to grow in suspension rather than in plated culture conditions, can now be transiently transfected to produce large amounts of recombinant proteins, as well.
- Frequently used selectable markers are the genes encoding aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (APH; neoR gene) or hygromycin B phosphotransferase (HPH). Other selectable markers are the genes encoding adenosine deaminase (ADA), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), hymidine kinase (TK), or xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (XGPRT; gpt gene).
- Every cell line has optimal culture conditions. Refer to the American Type Culture Collection [ATCC] web site. For example, one reagent may work well with HEK-293 cells, but a second reagent is a better choice when using HepG2 cells. Promega offers several online resources to help identify a transfection reagent and protocol for your cell line, including the Transfection Assistant (www.promega.com/transfectionasst/) and FuGENE ® HD Protocol Database (www.promega.com /techserv/tools/FugeneHD/). A drop-down menu allows you to search the databases by cell line, transfection type and transfection reagent.

- Such lipids form liposomes that associate with DNA and merge with the cell membrane to enable the intracellular transfer of DNA3. Cationic transfection lipids consist of a positively charged head group, such as an amine, a flexible linker group such as an ester or ether, and two or more hydrophobic tail groups. The ability of a lipid to destroy endosomes is one of the main characteristics of a transfection reagent. . For cultured cells, an overall net positive charge of the liposome/nucleic acid complex generally results in higher transfer efficiencies, presumably because this allows closer association of the complex with the negatively charged cell membrane. Entry of the liposome complex into the cell may occur by endocytosis or fusion with the plasma membrane via the lipid moieties of the liposome Following cellular internalization, the complexes appear in the endosomes and later in the nucleus. It is unclear how the nucleic acids are released from the endosomes and lysosomes and traverse the nuclear membrane \ DOPE is considered a “fusogenic” lipid (Farhood et al. 1995), and its role may be to release these complexes from endosomes as well as to facilitate fusion of the outer cell membrane with liposome/nucleic acid complexes. While DNA will need to enter the nucleus, the cytoplasm is the site of action for RNA, protein or antisense oligonucleotides delivered via liposomes. The endosomal structure is destroyed by increasing the osmotic pressure created by the lipids' buffering action within the endosomes and by the fusion of the lipid with the endosomal membrane.
- The successful use of liposome compounds to deliver exogenous nucleic acids to specific biological system is dependent upon several factors including lipid formulation, charge ratio, particle size and the method of liposome preparation. Neutral “helper” lipids, such as DOPE, allow entrapped DNA to escape the endosomes by fusion of the liposome with the membrane.
- The cells will be treated with lysozyme to remove cell wall, resulting in protoplasts that will be centrifuged gently onto a monolayer of mammalian cells to promote fusion among them using polyethylene glycol. Using lyposomes is more commonly used for this type of transfection. This method is commonly known as lipofection. This method is far more efficient than chemical transfection method. With this method up to 90% of cells in culture dish can be transected.
- The process of transfection involves the admixture of isolated DNA (10-100ug) with solution of calcium chloride and potassium phosphate under condition which allow the precipitate of CaPO4 to be formed. In general, the following two protocols are used by the majority as a starting point. The first one relies on the calcium phosphate–DNA complex formed before the addition to the cells, and the second one relies on the slow formation of calcium phosphate–DNA complex while present in the cell culture. 4Additional modifications to the calcium phosphate method that can achieve higher efficiencies include glycerol shock and/or chloroquine treatmen

- When used for the delivery of transcription factors, the microfluidic devices produced a 10-fold improvement in colony formation relative to electroporation and cell-penetrating peptides.
