Summary: The production of transfected fish embryos requires expertise in injecting the fertilized eggs and/or expensive equipment for electroporation or microprojectiles. This article demonstrates that by exposure to DNA constructs conjugated with transfecting reagents dechorionated Danio rerio embryos are capable of acquiring extracellular DNA and expressing reporter genes. Embryos incubated with pCMVluc complexed with GeneJammer or GenePORTER expressed luciferase 24–48 h after exposure. pCMVGFP DNA mixed with the same agents generated embryos that exhibited differential patterns of expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Embryonic development varied depending on the procedure employed and the reporter gene utilized. Expression of the luciferase gene did not interfere with the subsequent development of the embryos. In contrast, the embryos expressing a high level of GFP were affected, probably due to a very active promoter. These results demonstrate the ease of obtaining transfected fish embryos, which facilitate the mass production of new genotypes and extend the procedure to laboratories with limited resources. genesis 31:1–5, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Cationic liposome-DNA (lipoplexes) or polymer-DNA (polyplexes) complexes have been used to deliver therapeutic genes, both
in vitro and in vivo. However, gene transfer by these non-viral vectors is usually inhibited by biological milieu. A relatively high efficiency
of transfection could be achieved in human oral cancer cells transfected with the polycationic liposome, Metafectene, and
the polyamine reagent, GeneJammer, in the presence of 60% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Konopka et al., Cell. Mol. Biol. Lett.
10 (2005) 455–470). Here, we examined the efficacy of these vectors to deliver β-galactosidase (β-gal), luciferase and Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) genes to SCCVII murine squamous cell carcinoma cells, which are used to generate an orthotopic murine model of oral cancer.
We also evaluated the hydrodynamic size and zeta potential of the vectors and the effect of FBS and mouse serum (up to 60%)
on the size of Metafectene and GeneJammer complexes with the pCMV.Luc plasmid. Our results indicate that Metafectene and GeneJammer
are highly effective in transfecting SCCVII cells. Approximately 60–70% of SCCVII cells transfected with pCMV.lacZ were positive
for β-gal staining. The expression of β-galactosidase was essentially not affected by serum. Mouse serum (20–60%) reduced both Metafectene-and GeneJammer-mediated
luciferase expression by ∼30–45%, while FBS did not affect transfection efficiency. The delivery of the HSV-tk gene by Metafectene or GeneJammer in the presence of 0% or 60% FBS, followed by GCV treatment for 6 days, resulted in over
90% cytotoxicity. The mean diameters of the DNA complexes of Metafectene and GeneJammer decreased significantly as a function
of the serum concentration. The reduction in the size of the lipoplexes and polyplexes by serum was essentially not inhibitory
to transfection of SCCVII cells. This is in contrast to previous hypotheses that serum-induced decrease in the size of lipoplexes
is the primary cause of serum inhibition of transfection. 相似文献
