In this study, magnetic fields were investigated to assist cardiovascular gene delivery via magnetic nanobeads both in vitro and in vivo. The magnetic field was provided with a 1120 mT Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet while complexes of poly-ethyleneimine (PEI) and various DNA plasmids were conjugated with magnetic nanobeads (MNB) using a Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin linker. In vitro results showed that transfection in two cell lines was 30-80-fold higher in magnetically conjugated MNB/PEI/DNA complexes than transfection from PEI/DNA complexes alone. Similarly, in vivo results using mouse models showed 72 h after injection observable gene expression in the heart with conjugated MNB/PEI/DNA complexes, but barely with PEI/DNA complexes alone. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
