The overall objective of the research was to investigate the utility of
photochemical internalization (PCI) for the enhanced nonviral transfection of
genes into glioma cells. The PCI-mediated introduction of the tumor suppressor
gene phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) or the cytosine deaminase (CD)
pro-drug activating gene into U87 or U251 glioma cell monolayers and multicell
tumor spheroids were evaluated. In the study reported here, polyamine-DNA gene
polyplexes were encapsulated in a nanoparticle (NP) with an acid degradable
polyketal outer shell. These NP synthetically mimic the roles of viral capsid and
envelope, which transport and release the gene, respectively. The effects of
PCI-mediated suppressor and suicide genes transfection efficiency employing
either ?naked? polyplex cores alone or as NP-shelled cores were compared. PCI was
performed with the photosensitizer AlPcS 2a and ?=670-nm laser irradiance. The
results clearly demonstrated that the PCI can enhance the delivery of both the
PTEN or CD genes in human glioma cell monolayers and multicell tumor spheroids.
The transfection efficiency, as measured by cell survival and inhibition of
spheroid growth, was found to be significantly greater at suboptimal light and
DNA levels for shelled NPs compared with polyamine-DNA polyplexes alone.
