Objective: To study ultrasonic naked gene delivery and its effect control, and to investigate the new methods, which are easy-to-use, reliable and non-cytotoxic for application in gene therapy so as to build an optimal parameter set.
Method: Suspensions of different kinds of cells were exposed to calibrated ultrasound field (35.1 kHz) with different parameters for gene delivery. Morphology, membrane permeability, naked gene expression efficiency, threshold of cell damage and cell viability were examined by laser scanning confocal microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry and spectrophotometer.
Result: The plasmid of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was delivered into S180 cells under optimal parameters without cell damage. The transfection rate was about 35.83% +/- 2.53% (n=6) in viable cells. The GFP expression intensity in ultrasound exposure group had a higher fluorescent peak than AVV-GFP group and control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Ultrasound can effectively deliver naked gene into cells using optimal parameters without cell damage. The gene uptake depends on energy accumulation at 90% of cell viability, and the tendency of apoptosis is found in S180 tumor cells.

In regions characterized by tropical and subtropical climates, the elevated ambient temperatures exert adverse effects on both broiler and laying chickens, impacting their growth and egg production performance. To mitigate the challenges posed by heat stress, genetic strategies aimed at reducing feather coverage have gained prominence in hot climate areas. Among these approaches, the naked neck (Na) and frizzle (F) genes have emerged as particularly noteworthy.

The activation of the human interferon-inducible protein X (IFIX) isoform is associated with maintaining a stable cytoskeleton and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanisms and pathways underlying IFIX-mediated oncogenesis are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of IFIX overexpression and knockdown in CAL-27 and SCC-25 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used to treat patients with life-threatening hematologic and immune system disorders. Current nontargeted chemo-/radiotherapy conditioning regimens cause tissue injury and induce an array of immediate and delayed adverse effects, limiting the application of this life-saving treatment. The growing demand to replace canonical conditioning regimens has led to the development of alternative approaches, such as antibody-drug conjugates, naked antibodies, and CAR T cells.

Recent studies have reported that the cause and progression of many diseases are closely related to complex and diverse gene regulation involving multiple microRNAs (miRNAs). However, most existing methods for miRNA detection typically deal with one sample at a time, which limits the achievement of high diagnostic accuracy for diseases associated with multiple gene dysregulations. Herein, we develop a liquid flow-based microfluidic optical assay for the simple and reliable detection of two different target miRNAs simultaneously at room temperature without any enzymatic reactions.

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a tool in functional gene study and pest control. However, RNAi efficiency in Lepidoptera is low compared to the RNAi sensitive Coleoptera. Previous studies on RNAi in the silkworm Bombyx mori, the lepidopteran model insect, were performed by injection only.
