Abstract:
Objective To investigate the method and optimum conditions of electric transfection,and the major influential factors of electransfection efficiency and the survival rate of dendritic cells. Methods RNA was extracted from human hepatocarcinoma cell line(Bel 7402).Purified monocytes as precursor DC-s(pDC-s) were separated from human peripheral blood cells(PBMCs) by density gradient centrifugalization with lymphocyte gradation fluid and adherence method,pDCs were incubated in RPMI-1640 medium containing rhGM-CSF(8?10~5IU/L) and rIL-4(5?10~5IU/L) for 7 days and made them fully differentiate into immature DCs(imDCs).The total RNA human hepatocarcinoma cell and green fluorescent protein(GFP) were electransfected respectively into imDCs by electroporation apparatus with different electric voltages,times of impulse,cell concentrations,temperatures and electroporation buffers.Numbers of green fluorescence positive cells and the total cell number were counted respectively under fluorescent microscope,and visible light microscope.One day after the electric transfection,the cells were stained with 0.4% trypan blue,and electransfection efficiency and the cell survival rate were counted. Results Electransfection efficiency was increased to the highest value,up to about 49.7% when imDCs with the concentration of 5?10~6 cells/ml were mixed with 40?g-total RNA of human hepatocarcinoma cell,the electric voltage of electroporation apparatus was set at 300V,and the time of impulse was 500Us.Conclusion Electric transfection provides a technical possibility to make human hepatocarcinoma RNA into imDCs.The major influential factors of the electransfection efficiency were electric voltage and impulsing time.As receptor cells,the imDCs growing condition was also an important influential factor.
