Post-pulse addition of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol improves electrotransfer mediated gene expression in mammalian cells.

ABSTRACT: Electric field mediated gene transfer is facing a problem in expression yield due to the poor transfer across the nuclear envelope. Trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol (TCHD) was shown to significantly increase chemically mediated transfection by collapsing the permeability barrier of the nuclear pore complex. We indeed observed a significant increase in expression by electrotransfer when cells are treated post pulse by a low non toxic concentration of TCHD. This was obtained for different pulsing conditions, cell strains and plasmid constructs. An interesting improvement in cell viability can be obtained. This can significantly enhance the non-viral gene electrical delivery.

Project description:A series of magnetically separable rGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites with various amounts of graphene oxide were successfully prepared by a simple ultrasonication assisted precipitation combined with a solvothermal method and their catalytic activity was evaluated for the selective liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant. The prepared materials were characterized using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, HRTEM, BET/BJH, XPS and VSM analysis. The presence of well crystallized Fe3O4 as the active iron species was seen in the crystal studies of the nanocomposites. The electron microscopy analysis indicated the fine surface dispersion of spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the thin surface layers of partially-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. The decoration of Fe3O4 nanospheres on thin rGO layers was clearly observable in all of the nanocomposites. The XPS analysis was performed to evaluate the chemical states of the elements present in the samples. The surface area of the nanocomposites was increased significantly by increasing the amount of GO and the pore structures were effectively tuned by the amount of rGO in the nanocomposites. The magnetic saturation values of the nanocomposites were found to be sufficient for their efficient magnetic separation. The catalytic activity results show that the cyclohexene conversion reached 75.3% with a highest 1,2-cyclohexane diol selectivity of 81% over 5% rGO incorporated nanocomposite using H2O2 as the oxidant and acetonitrile as the solvent at 70 °C for 6 h. The reaction conditions were further optimized by changing the variables and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. The enhanced catalytic activity of the nanocomposites for cyclohexene oxidation could be attributed to the fast accomplishment of the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox cycle in the composites due the sacrificial role of rGO and its synergistic effect with Fe3O4, originating from the conjugated network of π-electrons in its surface structure. The rapid and easy separation of the magnetic nanocomposites from the reaction mixture using an external magnet makes the present catalysts highly efficient for the reaction. Moreover, the catalyst retained its activity for five repeated runs without any drastic drop in the reactant conversion and product selectivity.
