Objective To evaluate the combination of lipopolysaccharide-amine nanopolymersomes (LNPs), as a gene vector, with target gene and the transfection in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) so as to provide a preliminary experiment basis for combination treatment of bone defect with gene therapy mediated by LNPs and stem cells. Methods Plasmid of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (pBMP-2)-loaded LNPs (pLNPs) were prepared. The binding ability of pLNPs to pBMP-2 was evaluated by a gel retardation experiment with different ratios of nitrogen to phosphorus elements (N/P). The morphology of pLNPs (N/P=60) was observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The size and Zeta potential were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The resistance of pLNPs against DNase I degradation over time was explored. The viability of BMSCs, transfection efficiency, and expression of target protein were investigated after transfection by pLNPs in vitro. Results At N/P≥1.5, pLNPs could completely retard pBMP-2; at N/P of 60, pLNPs was uniform vesicular shape under AFM; TEM observation demonstrated that pLNPs were spherical nano-vesicles with the diameter of (72.07±11.03) nm, DLS observation showed that the size of pLNPs was (123±6) nm and Zeta potential was 20 mV; pLNPs could completely resist DNase I degradation within 4 hours, and such protection capacity to pBMP-2 decreased slightly at 6 hours. The cell survival rate first increased and then decreased with the increase of N/P, and reached the maximum value at N/P of 45; the cytotoxicity was in grade I at N/P≤90, which meant no toxicity for in vivo experiment. While the transfection efficiency of pLNPs increased with the increase of N/P, and reached the maximum value at N/P of 60. So it is comprehensively determined that the best N/P was 60. At 4 days, transfected BMSCs expressed BMP-2 continuously at a relatively high level at N/P of 60. Conclusion LNPs can compress pBMP-2 effectively to form the nanovesicles complex, which protects the target gene against enzymolysis. LNPs has higher transfection efficiency and produces more amount of protein than polyethylenimine 25k and Lipofectamine 2000.
