Popis: We compared two methods of transfection (lipofection and electroporation) with plasmid containing VEGF121 gene in four cultures of mesenchymal stem cells from the human adipose tissue. The efficacy of transfection after 1 day, the dynamics of plasmid elimination after 3, 6, 9 days, and expression of the target gene were evaluated. Transfection by both methods failed in one of 4 cultures. Analysis of the plasmid elimination dynamics showed that the content of plasmids introduced by both methods decreased by 30-69% in all cultures by day 3 and then remained unchanged from day 3 to day 9. The expression of the target gene did not correlate with the content of plasmids in cells and varied by 2-10 times in control cells and cells transfected by both methods. Fluctuation of VEGF121 expression was not related to methylation.
