Popis: Abstract Clinical success of effective gene therapy is mainly hampered by the insufficiency of safe and efficient internalization of a transgene to the targeted cellular site. Therefore, the development of a safe and efficient nanocarrier system is one of the fundamental challenges to transfer the therapeutic genes to the diseased cells. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer has been used as an efficient non-viral gene vector (dendriplexes) but the toxicity and unusual biodistribution induced by the terminal amino groups (–NH2) limit its in vivo applications. Hence, a state of the art lipid modification with PAMAM based gene carrier (lipodendriplexes) was planned to investigate theirs in vitro (2D and 3D cell culture) and in vivo behaviour. In vitro pDNA transfection, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cellular protein contents, live/dead staining and apoptosis were studied in 2D cell culture of HEK-293 cells while GFP transfection, 3D cell viability and live/dead staining of spheroids were performed in its 3D cell culture. Acute toxicity studies including organ to body index ratio, hematological parameters, serum biochemistry, histopathological profiles and in vivo transgene expression were assessed in female BALB/c mice. The results suggested that, in comparison to dendriplexes the lipodendriplexes exhibited significant improvement of pDNA transfection (p
