Embodiment 1

[0039] Example 1: Functionalized graphene quantum dots are used for gene transfection

[0040] To prepare functionalized graphene quantum dots, other implementation steps were the same as in Comparative Example 1 except that branched PEI was added to change it to a branched PEI with a molecular weight of 25,000. Transmission scanning electron microscopy images of functionalized graphene quantum dots such as figure 1 , it can be seen that the functionalized graphene quantum dots are more uniformly dispersed. And the fluorescence test images of functionalized graphene quantum dots are as follows figure 2 , proving that functionalized graphene quantum dots have good fluorescence properties. The optimal transfection efficiency was determined to be 51.63% by flow cytometry, and the transfection images were observed with a confocal microscope as follows: image 3A-1, the dotted part of the hash distribution is the part of the transfected cells, and the transfected part can be se...

Embodiment 2

[0041] Example 2: Functionalized graphene quantum dots are used for gene transfection

[0042] To prepare functionalized graphene quantum dots, the implementation steps are the same as in Example 1 except that the amount of branched PEI added is increased to 3 mg. The optimal transfection efficiency was determined to be 80.57% by flow cytometry, and the transfection image was observed with a confocal microscope as follows: image 3 In B-1, the dotted part of the hash distribution is the part of the transfected cells, and the transfected part can be seen to be about 80% of the cells by naked eyes. The bright-field image is 3B-2, and the cos7 cells can be seen to have a clear outline and a relatively uniform distribution of cells. Cytotoxicity test results such as Figure 4 In Example 2, the cell survival rate was 89.34%.

Embodiment 3

[0043] Example 3: Functionalized graphene quantum dots are used for gene transfection

[0044] To prepare functionalized graphene quantum dots, the implementation steps are the same as in Example 1 except that the amount of branched PEI added is increased to 5 mg. The optimal transfection efficiency was determined to be 74.13% by flow cytometry, and the transfection images were observed with a confocal microscope as follows: image 3 In C-1, the dotted part of the hash distribution is the part of the transfected cells, and the transfected part can be seen to be about 70% of the cells by naked eyes. The bright-field image is 3C-2, and the outline of cos7 cells can be seen clearly, and the cells are evenly distributed. Cytotoxicity test results such as Figure 4 In Example 3, the cell survival rate was 87.85%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of inorganic chemistry and biomedicine, and relates to the construction and application of a multifunctional graphene gene carrier, in particular to a simple, efficient, and low-toxicity modified polyethylenimine applied to gene transfection and tracer Multifunctional graphene gene carrier. Background technique [0002] As nano-sized graphene, graphene quantum dots not only have the excellent properties of graphene itself, but also exhibit unique photochemical properties due to the edge effect and small size effect, and exhibit low cytotoxicity, excellent solubility and good cell compatibility. In addition, the edges of graphene quantum dots usually contain carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which can interact with biomolecules. [0003] Gene transfection technology is a technology that delivers purified exogenous DNA and RNA into cells and expresses them in cells. Gene transfection vectors are divided into two categori...
