In vitro cytotoxicity and cell uptake of PVES/mRNA complexes. (A) Cell viability of HEK-293T, HeLa, Vero and DC2.4 cells after being transfected with PVES/mRNA, PEI1.8 k/mRNA and PEI25k/mRNA at N/P of 32 and 40 for 24 h. (B) HEK-293T cell viability at the presence of PVES, PEI 25 k and PEI 1.8 k at different concentrations for 48 h, respectively. (C) Cell uptake of PVES/MFP488-labeled luciferase mRNA by HEK-293T cells after 4 h transfection. (D) Time-dependent uptake of PVES/MFP488-labeled luciferase mRNA by HEK-293T cells. Data were shown as mean ± SEM. Significance was calculated using unpaired t-test (**, p < 0.01, ****, P < 0.0001).
