Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Molecular Medicine
  • Gene Therapy

Background:

  • Targeted gene delivery remains a challenge in molecular medicine.
  • Gene electrotransfer offers a method for focal delivery of naked DNA.
  • Bionic electrode arrays can potentially enhance the precision of gene electrotransfer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the properties of array-based electroporation for targeted gene delivery.
  • To establish parameters for optimizing gene electrotransfer using bionic electrode arrays.
  • To demonstrate the in vivo efficacy and clinical potential of this approach.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an eight-ring electrode array configured as a cochlear implant interface.
  • Transduced HEK293 cell monolayers with plasmid DNA encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP).
  • Mapped electric fields and analyzed electroporation parameters including pulse intensity, duration, and electrode configuration.

Main Results:

  • Array-based electroporation required approximately 100 times lower voltages than conventional methods.
  • Electrode configuration determined the spatial pattern of gene expression (circular or linear).
  • Demonstrated successful in vivo gene delivery in the guinea pig cochlea.

Conclusions:

  • Bionic electrode arrays enable highly targeted and efficient gene delivery via electrotransfer.
  • Electric field manipulation allows for predictable spatiotemporal control of gene expression.
  • This technology holds significant promise for clinical gene therapy applications.
