Expression of foreign genes in eucaryotic cells requires
the eucaryotic promoter in a plasmid vector
1. Viral promoters : CMV, SV40
2. Eucaryotic promoters
- constitutive:
- non-selective: -globin
- tissue specific:
- inducible
3. Complex

Reporter genes
Genes used for determination of the transfection efficiency. Expression
of a reporter has to be easily detectable. It has to be a gene which is
not naturally present in transfected cells.

Luciferases
-fire fly Photinus pyralis & sea anemone Renilla reniformis
-Bioluminescent reactions requires luciferin (substrate), ATP, Mg2+ions
and oxygen
-Short lasting emission
-Short half-life of luciferase– about 3 hours
- high sensitivity

Luciferin is activated by luciferase in an
ATP-dependent step to form a luciferin-
adenylyl intermediate; when oxygen is
present this intermediate is rapidly
converted to a peroxyluciferin product
that decays to oxyluciferin with the
emission of photons.

Green fluorescent protein - from Aequorea victoria (jellyfish): equorin emits blue light after
Ca2+ binding. The light is absorbed by GFP, which emits green ligth.
-Expression of GFP in other organisms causes green fluorescence
after stimulation with blue light or UV.

Aequorea victoria are brightly luminescent jellyfish, with glowing points around the margin of the
umbrella. Light arises from yellow tissue masses that each consist of about 6000-7000 photogenic
cells. The cytoplasm of these cells is densely packed with fine granules that contain the components
necessary for bioluminescence [1:2] . In other bioluminescent coelenterates these have been
characterised as 0.2 micron diameter particles enclosed by a unit membrane, and have been termed
lumisomes [4] . The components required for bioluminescence include a Ca++ activated photoprotein,
aequorin, that emits blue-green light, and an accessory green fluorescent protein (GFP), which
accepts energy from aequorin and re-emits it as green light [5] . GFP is an extremely stable protein of
238 amino acids [6] . The fluorescent properties of the protein are unaffected by prolonged treatment
with 6M guanidine HCl, 8M urea or 1% SDS, and two day treatment with various proteases such as
trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, subtilisin, thermolysin and pancreatin at concentrations up to 1 mg/ml
fail to alter the intensity of GFP fluorescence [7] . GFP is stable in neutral buffers up to 65oC, and
displays a broad range of pH stability from 5.5 to 12. The protein is intensely fluorescent, with a
quantum efficiency of approximately 80% and molar extinction coefficient of 2.2 x104 cm-1 M-1 [5]
(after correction for the known molecular weight). GFP fluoresces maximally when excited at 400 nm
with a lesser peak at 475 nm, and fluorescence emission peaks at 509nm .

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008
Osamu Shimomura Martin Chalfie Roger Y. Tsien
discovered GFP during the study
of the bioluminescent protein
aequorin, the mechanism by which
certain jellyfish glow
took the cDNA of GFP and
first expressed it in bacteria
and worms.
He demonstrated that GFP
could be used as a molecular
tag.
reported the S65T point mutation
that greatly improved GFP
fluorescent characteristics.
His lab also evolved GFP
into many other color variants,
and demonstrated that these
variants could be used as
genetically-encoded intracellular
sensors for calcium, enzyme action,
and glutamate.

Electroporation
1. Strength of electric field
- usually in mammalian cells the best transfection efficiency is obtained when
the voltage is between 250-750 V/cm.
- time: 20-100 msec
- about 20-50% of cells survive such a treatment
2. The degree of permeabilisation of the cells depends on:
- electric field intensity: the larger the „functional” size of the cell, the lower
is the field strength necessary (eg. skeletal muscle)
- length of pulses
- shape and type of electrodes
- cell size

Nucleofection
Based on the physical method of electroporation, but nucleofection uses
a combination of optimized electrical parameters, generated by a special device
called Nucleofector, with cell-type specific reagents.
Provides ability to transfect non-dividing cells like neurons or blood cells.
Optimal nucleofection conditions depend upon the individual cell type,
not on the nucleic acid being transfected (DNA, RNA, siRNA, shRNA,…).
This combination permits the crucial step: delivery of the DNA of interest
straight into the nucleus. As the DNA quickly reaches the nucleus, expression can
begin without delay.
Transfection efficiencies of over 50% can be obtained in most cell lines as well as
in primary cells. For some primary cells, such as human dermal fibroblasts,
efficiencies exceed 90%

Gene-gun technology
Chemicals, proteins, RNA or DNA are first coated on dense metallic particles of
0.25 to 5 m in diameter, and these are accelerated into target cells or tissues to
deliver these substances directly inside cells.

Gene gun technology – properties
1. Efficiency
Typically 5-10% of cells within 10-20 cell layers of the target site.
2.Unsuited to gene therapy requiring high number of transfected cells
3. Unsuitable in tissues difficult to expose (brain, lumen of the lung)
4. Suitable for addressing targets in culture
- targets at the surface of the body (skin, eye) or internal organs that can be exposed
surgically (eg. Liver, muscles, spleen)

Problems with transfection of naked DNA
1. Cell type dependent – only few cell types can be effectively transfected
2. Maximal expression – after 14 days in skeletal muscles
3. Long-term expression in skeletal muscle – episomal, even up to
2 years
4. Muscle regeneration enables higher expression
5. Promoters – better viral than cell specific ?
6. Efficiency is reversely dependent on the animal size...
