Today, the advancement in life-sciences technology allows different types of nucleic acids to be transfected into mammalian cells, and these include Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs), Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) as well as small, non-coding RNAs such as siRNA, shRNA and miRNA ( Borawski et al., 2007 Yamano, Dai & Moursi, 2010 Sork et al., 2016 Shi et al., 2018). Besides, transfection can be employed as one of the strategies in gene therapy to treat incurable, inherited genetic diseases ( Yao et al., 2008 Yamano, Dai & Moursi, 2010 Tomizawa et al., 2013).

Understanding the molecular pathway of disease allows the discovery of specific biomarkers that may be applied to diagnose and prognose diseases ( Ye et al., 2017 Roser et al., 2018). For the past 30 years, transfection has gained increasing popularity due to its wide application for studying cellular processes and molecular mechanisms of diseases ( Arnold et al., 2006 Ishida & Selaru, 2012 Chow et al., 2016). Transfection is a process by which foreign nucleic acids are delivered into a eukaryotic cell to modify the host cell’s genetic makeup ( Kim & Eberwine, 2010 Chow et al., 2016).
