  • Addition of PHEA to protect the complexes.
  • In vitro gene transfection assays in 293T, HeLa, and 3T3 cells.

    • Main Results:

    • The polymer films effectively supported Lipofectamine 2000/DNA complexes for solid-phase transfection.
    • The addition of PHEA improved gene expression activity by protecting the complexes.
    • Effective gene expression was observed in multiple cell lines (293T, HeLa, 3T3).
    • Polymer film degradation during transfection did not negatively affect gene expression.

    Conclusions:

    • Fast-degrading cholic acid-functionalized star poly(DL-lactide) films are suitable for solid-phase gene transfection.
    • PHEA enhances gene delivery by protecting transfection complexes.
    • This polymer film system provides a stable and effective platform for gene expression, even with concurrent degradation.
