Abstract

The efficiency of dendrosomes (novel dendritic spheroidal nanoparticle gene porters) were assessed in transferring wild-type p53 cDNA into two human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (MOLT-4 and CCRF-CEM) derived from T cells and erythroleukemic cell line K562. Flow cytometric studies showed a 65% and 45% enhancement in apoptosis and necrosis of K562 and CCRF-CEM cells transfected with complex of dendrosomes and wild-type p53 cDNA in comparison to controls. The cytotoxicity studies on T lymphoma cells revealed that dendrosomes have a low cytotoxicity in comparison to lipofectin.
