Materials and Methods:Multi-layer CaP-DNA CaP-DNA-CaP-PEI (polyethylenimine) with an average size of 274nm and 403nm were generated. The conjugated DNA used was the green fluorescent protein eGFP or mOrange. The particles were then co-cultured with spiral ganglia explants from neonatal rats as well as with HeLa cells and, after immunohistochemical staining, were microscoped and evaluated.Results:There was a very effective uptake of the nanoparticle conjugates into all cells of the spiral ganglia explant. A smaller but significant proportion of these cells showed stable expression of dye-encoding DNA after about 5 days.Conclusion:Schwann cells in particular, but also fibroblasts and even spiral ganglion cells can take up DNA with the help of CaP-NP and secrete a functional protein after transfection. Thus, it would be possible to coat a CI electrode with functionalized CaP-NP and to stimulate inner ear cells nearby the electrode for the secretion of neurotrophic or anti-inflammatory factors.
