Efficient DNA delivery by phage into mammalian cells

Summary

Transferring genes into cells and expressing new proteins, or in this way altering the expression levels of endogenous proteins, can modulate the physiological functions of cells. This approach is very useful for the study of cellular functions and also has good application prospects in the treatment of a large number of diseases. Therefore, it is important to develop novel and efficient non-viral D N A delivery systems. Recently, some cationic short skins known as peptide/protein transduction domains (P T D ) have been found to efficiently deliver a wide range of substances, including D N A, into a variety of cells. This chapter describes the surface-presenting H I V -1 T A T P T D X phage, which is not cytotoxic per se but can efficiently deliver plasmid D N A into a large number of different cells in a concentration-dependent manner.

Method

Preparation of recombinant X phage

Plasmid-transformed lysogenic E. coli were incubated with LB (containing 10 m m o l /L M g S O 4, 100/ng/m L 麵节西林) at 1.32°C until an absorbance value of 0.3 was reached at OD m d .

2. Incubate the bacteria at 45°C for 15 m i n , then at 38°C for 180 m i n .

3 . Treat the bacteria with bromide (final concentration 10 %) and D NASE I (final concentration IOlUgAnl) and harvest the phage particles.

4 - Two rounds of cesium chloride equilibrium centrifugation were used to isolate the phage pellets, which were then purified by dialysis in H-SM buffer.

5. Using LE392 cells as host cells, the titer was determined at 37°C by Plaqueassay.

Induction of marker gene expression with recombinant phage

6- The cells to be transfected were inoculated in 24-well plates at a density of 2.5X 104 cells per well and incubated for 2 h. The cells were then incubated for 2 h in a 24-well plate.

7- Wash the cells once with medium and incubate the cells with 500ul of medium containing 2.5 X IO8P fu recombinant phage or IOng purified phage chromosomal DNA for 6 hours at 37°C.

8- Wash the cells twice with medium and continue incubation for 48 h.

9- Cells were collected and quantitatively analyzed for fluorokinase activity using a fluorokinase assay kit, and the results were expressed as mean relative fluorescence units (RLU) with standard deviation.

10. COS^l cells were inoculated in glass chamber slides at a density of 2. 5XIO4 cells per well and cultured for 12 h. The cells were then incubated in a glass chamber slide for 12 h. The cells were then incubated in a glass chamber slide for 12 h.

11. Wash the cells once with medium, and then incubate the cells with 500ul of medium containing 2.5 X IO10pfu or 2.5 X 109pfu of TAT phage or 2.5 X 1010pfu of wild-type phage for 6 hours at 37°C.

12. Wash the cells twice with the medium and continue incubation for 48 h.
