Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles have pH-dependent antioxidant activity. CeO2-NPs provide protection normal cells from various forms of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but possess innate cytotoxicity and apoptosis to cancer cells. To expand the applications of CeO2-NPs and improve gene delivery efficiency and reduce cytotoxicity of Polyethylenimine (PEI), the purpose of this study is design a PEI coated CeO2-NPs as a novel gene delivery vector with high transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity.
