Purpose: We have previously reported that cell membrane modification by lidocaine or heat can enhance ultrasound mediated transfection. (USMT) on PC-3 cells in vitro. In the current study we investigated whether such enhancement could be observed using the T24 human bladder cancer cell line in vitro along with PC-3 in vivo.Materials and Methods: For in vitro transfection T24 cells were sonicated with 1 MHz ultrasound at 3.6 W/cm(2) (I-SATA) for 20 seconds. For in vivo transfection T24 or PC-3 cells in the bladder were transabdominally sonicated with 1 MHz ultrasound at 0.78 W/cm(2) (I-SATA) for 60 seconds. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by the luciferase assay standardized with protein contents of the samples.Results: Lidocaine or heat treatment of T24 cells during sonication enhanced luciferase expression significantly. Results indicated that enhancements could be achieved in a different cell line, although to lesser degrees than with PC-3 cells. In addition, membrane fluidity facilitation and cell viability after sonication were also different, presumably influenced by the different structures and/or compositions of the cell membranes. PC-3 and T24 cells were successfully transfected in the bladder. In addition, USMT enhancements were also observed in the 2 cell lines when sonicated with lidocaine or heat.Conclusions: These results suggest that USMT and its enhancement with lidocaine or heat can be applied for gene therapy in the bladder.
