Fig. 6From: Transgene expression in mice of the Opa1 mitochondrial transmembrane protein through bicontinuous cubic lipoplexes containing gemini imidazolium surfactantsA Western blot of Opa1 and GRP75 protein levels in kidneys and brain from CD-1 mice after 48 h of transfection with (C16Im)2(C4O)/DOPE/DSPE-PEG/OPA1 lipoplexes (ρeff = 4). Different lanes correspond to the groups without treatment (C) and with treatment via intraperitoneal (IP), intracardiac (IC) and intramuscular (IM) administration. B Relative ratios of band intensity between Opa1 and GRP75 from different organs of CD-1 mice treated with (C16Im)2(C4O)/DOPE/DSPE-PEG/OPA1 lipoplexes (ρeff = 4) via intraperitoneal (IP), intracardiac (IC) and intramuscular (IM) administration. Results shown are mean ± s.e.m. from 3 independent experiments. The statistical significance was determined using a Student’s t-test between the different groups and the negative control (in the absence of treatment); (*p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant)Back to article page
