All nanoparticles had good positive zeta potential values. Entrapment efficiency % ranged from 38.25 ± 3.25 to 94.89 ± 5.67. The agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the strong binding between plasmid and CS. The in vitro pDNA release from nanoparticles exhibited an initial burst effect followed by a sustained drug release over a period of 6 days. In vitro cytotoxicity against human Caco-2 cells showed low cell cytotoxicity of plain CS-DS nanoparticles, while pDNA-loaded CS-DS nanoparticles showed a cytotoxic effect with increasing nanoparticles’ concentration. Gene transfection, analyzed by PCR and ELISA, showed a direct correlation between gene expression and concentration of pDNA.
