The aim of this study was to optimize non-viral gene transfer conditions and investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) gene transfer on human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) proliferation. Five non-viral vectors (Lipofectin(TM), DMRIE-C(TM), DAC-30, Effectene(TM), FuGene(TM)6) were used to transfect HCEC with plasmids coding for enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and FGF-1. Transfection efficiency and toxicity (n = 6) were quantified and optimized using the EGFP construct by FRCS-analysis. Using optimal conditions HCEC were transfected with the FGF-1 plasmid and cell proliferation as well as expression of FGF-1 were determined at days 4 and 7 by counting and western blotting, respectively. Lipofectin (17 +/- 2.02%) transfected HCEC more successfully than DMRIE-C (11 +/- 1.46%), Effectene (9 +/- 0.62%), FuGene (9 +/- 0.93%) and DAC-30 (7 +/- 0.59%). Toxicity of the lipids ranged from 2 to 4%. Optimal HCEC proliferation was achieved with DAC-30/FGF-1 (P
