Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a polymer-iron oxide composite nanoparticle, a polymer-iron oxide composite nanoparticle including a silica coating layer coated on the surface of the polymer-iron oxide composite nanoparticle, a DNA-containing polymer-iron oxide composite nanostructure including DNA attached on the silica coating layer, a method of preparing the same and a method of controlling expression of a gene.
Claims1
A method of reducing expression of a gene, the method comprising:
- incubating a polymer-iron oxide composite nanostructure comprising a DNA encoding the gene in an incubator comprising a DNA expression kit for the DNA at 30° C. for 8 hours, while applying a magnetic field to the polymer-iron oxide composite nanostructure by a neodymium magnet placed at a bottom of the incubator;
- and
- confirming the reduction in gene expression when the polymer-iron oxide nanostructure is incubated in the presence of the magnetic field,
- wherein the polymer-iron oxide composite nanostructure comprises;
- a polymer-iron oxide composite nanoparticle;
- a silica coating layer coated on a surface of the polymer-iron oxide composite nanoparticle;
- and
- the DNA encoding the gene and attached to the silica coating layer.
