Abstract
We report the use of polyamidoamine (PAMAM-NH(2)) dendrimers along with other non-viral vehicles for the in vitro transfection of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and for engineering MSCs to secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Different generations of cationic polyamidoamine dendrimers (generations 3-6) were tested on HEK 293T cells. hMSCs were then transfected with PAMAM-NH(2) G4 dendrimers and Lipofectamine 2000, which elicited the expression of GFP reporter in around 6 and 20% of the cells, respectively. Both vehicles were then shown to elicit the expression of BDNF in MSCs from a bicistronic cassette. Non-virally induced neurotrophin expression may be a safe and easy method for adapting autologous stem cells for therapeutic treatment of diseases and neural system injuries.Entities:
