Pretreatment with Epidermal Growth Factor Enhances Naked Plasmid DNA Transfer onto Gastric Serosal Surface in Mice

Abstract: We have developed a simple administration method, which is gastric serosal surface instillation of naked plasmid DNA (pDNA) in experimental animals. The purpose of this study was to improve gastric gene transfer efficiency by pre-treatment with a macropinocytosis enhancer, such as fetuin or epidermal growth factor (EGF), in mice. A series of concentrations of fetuin were instilled onto gastric serosal surface prior to instillation of naked pDNA in mice; however, fetuin did not improve transgene expression in t… Show more

“…As for the organ surface instillation method, we succeeded in enhancing the transfection efficiency of naked plasmid DNA by several strategies. Pretreatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF) enhanced transgene expression and increased transgene-positive cells on the stomach after instillation of naked plasmid DNA onto it [162]. Rubbing the gastric serosal surface with a medical spoon after instillation of naked plasmid DNA onto the stomach was more effective than EGF pretreatment [163].…”
