ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE To evaluate the transfection effect of dextran-spermine and to develop a novel gene delivery system. METHODS Dextran-spermine was complexed with the plasmid DNA coding for luciferase, then the particle size and Zeta potentials of the nanoparticles were investigated. Dextran-spermine /pDNA complexes were used to transfect tumor cells and mesenchymal stem cells either in the presence or absence of serum. Anionized gelatin was synthesized and used to construct reverse transfection system. Gene expression with reverse transfection method was compared with the conventional transfection method. RESULTS Dextran-spermine /pDNA complexes can effectively transfect cells. In contrast to the conventional transfection method, the reverse transfection method permitted the transfection of cells in the presence of serum. CONCLUSION Dextran-spermine is a promising gene carrier. The reverse transfection system has reduced the negative influence of serum, and will be a promising gene delivery method.
