Eight fluorinated nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized, loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), and evaluated as theranostic delivery platforms to breast cancer cells. The multifunctional NPs are formed by self‐assembly of either linear or star‐shaped amphiphilic block copolymers, with fluorinated segments incorporated in the hydrophilic corona of the carrier. The sizes of the NPs confirm that small circular NPs are formed. The release kinetics data of the particles reveals clear hydrophobic core dependence, with longer sustained release from particles with larger hydrophobic cores, suggesting that the DOX release from these carriers can be tailored. Viability assays and flow cytometry evaluation of the ratios of apoptosis/necrosis indicate that the materials are non‐toxic to breast cancer cells before DOX loading; however, they are very efficient, similar to free DOX, at killing cancer cells after drug encapsulation. Both flow cytometry and confocal microscopy confirm the cellular uptake of NPs and DOX‐NPs into breast cancer cells, and in vitro 19F‐MRI measurement shows that the fluorinated NPs have strong imaging signals, qualifying them as a potential in vivo contrast agent for 19F‐MRI. 相似文献

The physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs), such as small dimensions, surface charge and surface functionalization,
control their capability to interact with cells and, in particular, with sub-cellular components. This interaction can be
also influenced by the adsorption of molecules present in biological fluids, like blood, on NP surface. Here, we analysed
the effect of serum proteins on 49 and 100 nm red fluorescent polystyrene NP uptake in porcine aortic endothelial (PAE) cells,
as a model for vascular transport. To this aim, NP uptake kinetic, endocytic pathway and intracellular trafficking were studied
by monitoring NPs inside cells through confocal microscopy and multiple particle tracking (MPT). We demonstrated that NPs
are rapidly internalized by cells in serum-free (SF) medium, according to a saturation kinetic. Conversely, in 10% foetal
bovine serum-enriched (SE) medium, NP uptake rate results drastically reduced. Moreover, NP internalization depends on an
active endocytic mechanism that does not involve clathrin- and caveolae-mediated vesicular transport, in both SE and SF media.
Furthermore, MPT data indicate that NP intracellular trafficking is unaffected by protein presence. Indeed, approximately
50–60% of internalized NPs is characterized by a sub-diffusive behaviour, whereas the remaining fraction shows an active motion.
These findings demonstrate that the unspecific protein adsorption on NP surface can affect cellular uptake in terms of internalization
kinetics, but it is not effective in controlling active and cellular-mediated uptake mechanisms of NPs and their intracellular
routes. 相似文献

Chitosan (CS) is one of the most widely studied polymers in non-viral gene delivery since it is a cationic polysaccharide that forms nanoparticles with DNA and hence protects the DNA against digestion by DNase. However, the impact of CS/DNA nanoparticle on the immune system still remains poorly understood. Previous investigations did not found CS/DNA nanoparticles had any significant impact on the function of human and murine macrophages. To date, little is known about the interaction between CS/DNA nanoparticles and naive CD4+ T cells. This study was designed to investigate whether CS/DNA nanoparticles affect the initial differentiation direction of human naive CD4+ T cells. The indirect impact of CS/DNA nanoparticles on naive CD4+ T cell differentiation was investigated by incubating the nanoparticles with human macrophage THP-1 cells in one chamber of a transwell co-incubation system, with the enriched human naive CD4+ T cells being placed in the other chamber of the transwell. The nanoparticles were also co-incubated with the naive CD4+ T cells to explore their direct impact on naive CD4+ T cell differentiation by measuring the release of IL-4 and IFN-?? from the cells. It was demonstrated that CS/DNA nanoparticles induced slightly elevated production of IL-12 by THP-1 cells, possibly owing to the presence of CpG motifs in the plasmid. However, this macrophage stimulating activity was much less significant as compared with lipopolysaccharide and did not impact on the differentiation of the naive CD4+ T cells. It was also demonstrated that, when directly exposed to the naive CD4+ T cells, the nanoparticles induced neither the activation of the naive CD4+ T cells in the absence of recombinant cytokines (recombinant human IL-4 or IFN-??) that induce naive CD4+ T cell polarization, nor any changes in the differentiation direction of naive CD4+ T cells in the presence of the corresponding cytokines. 相似文献

We have fabricated a negative-charged nanoparticle (Heparin-Folate-Tat-Taxol NP, H-F-Tat-T NP) with dual ligands, tumor targeting ligand folate and cell-penetrating peptide Tat, to deliver taxol presenting great anticancer activity for sensitive cancer cells, while it fails to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in MCF-7/T cells (taxol-resistant breast cancer cells). Ultrasound (US) can increase the sensitivity of positive-charged NPs thereby making it possible to reverse MDR through inducing NPs’ drug release. However, compared with the negative-charged NPs, positive-charged NPs may cause higher toxic effect. Hence, the combination of negative-charged NPs and US may be an efficient strategy for overcoming MDR. The conventional procedure to treat with NPs followed by US exposure possibly destruct multifunctional NPs resulting in its bioactivity inhibition. Herein, we have further improved the operating approach to eliminate US mechanical damage and keep the integrity of negative-charged NPs: cells are exposed to US with microbubbles (MBs) prior to the treatment of H-F-Tat-T NPs. Superior to the conventional method, US sonoporation affects the physiological property of cancer cells while preventing direct promotion of drug release from NPs. The results of the present study displayed that US in condition (1 MHz, 10% duty cycle, duration of 80 s, US intensity of 0.6 W/cm2 and volume ratio of medium to MBs 20:1) combined with H-F-T-Tat-T NPs can achieve optimal reversal MDR effect in MCF-7/T cells. Mechanism study further disclosed that the individual effect of US was responsible for the enhancement of cell membrane permeability, inhibition of cell proliferation rate and down-regulation of MDR-related genes and proteins. Simultaneously, US sonoporation on resistant cancer cells indirectly increased the accumulation of NPs by inducing endosomal escape of negative-charged NPs. Taken together, the overcoming MDR ability for the combined strategy was achieved by the synergistic effect from individual function of NPs, physiological changes of resistant cancer cells and behavior changes of NPs caused by US. 相似文献

Innovative strategies that utilize nanoparticles (NPs) for a better delivery of drugs and to improve their therapeutic efficacy have been widely studied in many clinical fields, including oncology. To develop safe and reliable devices able to reach their therapeutic target, a hierarchical characterization of NP interactions with biological fluids, cells, and whole organisms is fundamental. Unfortunately, this aspect is often neglected and the development of standardized characterization methods would be of fundamental help to better elucidate the potentials of nanomaterials, even before the loading of the drugs. Here, we propose a multimodal in vitro/in vivo/ex vivo platform aimed at evaluating these interactions for the selection of the most promising NPs among a wide series of materials. To set the system, we used non-degradable fluorescent poly(methyl-methacrylate) NPs of different sizes (50, 100, and 200 nm) and surface charges (positive and negative). First we studied NP stability in biological fluids. Then, we evaluated NP interaction with two cell lines of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), 4T1, and MDA-MB231.1833, respectively. We found that NPs internalize in TNBC cells depending on their physico-chemical properties without toxic effects. Finally, we studied NP biodistribution in terms of tissue migration and progressive clearance in breast-cancer bearing mice. The use of highly stable poly(methyl-methacrylate) NPs enabled us to track them for a long time in cells and animals. The application of this platform to other nanomaterials could provide innovative suggestions for the development of a systematic method of characterization to select the most reliable nanodrug candidates for biomedical applications. 相似文献

The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been immobilized onto silica microspheres through the adsorption and subsequent reduction
of Ag+ ions on the surfaces of the silica microspheres. The neat silica microspheres that acted as the core materials were prepared
through sol–gel processing; their surfaces were then functionalized using 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The major
aims of this study were to immobilize differently sized Ag particles onto the silica microspheres and to understand the mechanism
of formation of the Ag nano-coatings through the self-assembly/adsorption behavior of Ag NPs/Ag+ ions on the silica spheres. The obtained Ag NP/silica microsphere conglomerates were characterized by field-emission scanning
electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Their electromagnetic
wave shielding effectiveness were also tested and studied. The average particle size of the obtained Ag NPs on the silica
microsphere was found that could be controllable (from 2.9 to 51.5 nm) by adjusting the ratio of MPTMS/TEOS and the amount
of AgNO3. 相似文献

The efficiency of zero-valent iron particles used in the remediation of contaminated groundwater has, with the emergence of nanotechnology, stimulated interest on the use of nano-size particles to take advantage of high-specific surface area and reactivity characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs). Accordingly, engineered iron-NPs are among the most widely used nanomaterials for in situ remediation. However, while several ecotoxicity studies have been conducted to investigate the adverse impacts of these NPs on aquatic organisms, research on the implications of spent iron-based NPs is lacking. In this study, a comparative approach is used, in which the biological effects of three iron-based NPs (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 NPs with particle sizes ranging from 20 to 50 nm, and Fe0-NPs with an average particle size of 40 nm) on Raphidocelis subcapitata (formely known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) and Daphnia magna were investigated using both as-prepared and pollutant-doped Fe-based NPs. For the latter, arsenic (As) was used as example sorbed pollutant. The results show that improved degree of NP dispersion by use of polyvinylpyrrolidone overlapped with both increased arsenic adsorption capacity and toxicity to the tested organisms. For R. subcapitata, Fe-oxide NPs were more toxic than Fe0-NPs, due primarily to differences in the degree of NPs aggregation and ability to produce reactive oxygen species. For the invertebrate D. magna, a similar trend of biological responses was observed, except that sorption of As to Fe0-NPs significantly increased the toxic response when compared to R. subcapitata. Overall, these findings point to the need for research on downstream implications of NP-pollutant complexes generated during water treatment by injection of NPs into aquatic systems. 相似文献

Silica gels offer excellent wear resistance, high chemical stability, good insulation, and light transmittance, are therefore promising to engineer 2D sensing films. However, their practical applications are greatly hampered by their poor structural stability, low sensitivity, reliability, and repeatability. Incorporation of nanoelements into glasses and ceramics is a promising new pathway to tackle these challenges. Unfortunately, it is difficult to disperse nanoparticles uniformly in any glass and ceramics. Herein, a facile sol–gel approach is applied to synthesize novel silica gel nanocomposites with dispersed nanoparticles (NPs) as additives and thymol blue as an indicator. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs with a diameter of 5 nm can be dispersed uniformly in the silica gel, with enhanced modulus and hardness (up to 230% and 138%, respectively) and good alkaline resistance. The addition of nanoparticles improves the film's stability, sensitivity, and repeatability of spectral responses (in pH 1–12), and reduces the indicator leakage. The interaction of indicator with silica gel substrate, nanoparticles, and H+ is analyzed to elucidate the principle of reversible color change. This novel simplified method to produce glass-like functional materials under much lower temperatures is groundbreaking in materials science and engineering. 相似文献

The magnetic nanoparticles with a diameter of about 60 nm were synthesized by coprecipitation from ferrous and ferric iron solutions and coated with silica. Then the nanoparticles were modified with N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPS) in order to immobilize anti-CD34+ monoclonal antibodies to the surface of modified magnetic particles. The results of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) indicated that the nanoparticles were successfully prepared. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photo confirmed that the mouse CD34+ cells (cells expressing CD34) were separated by the immunomagnetic nanoparticles. The viability of the separated cells was studied by hematopoietic colony-forming assay, the result of which showed that the target cells still had an ability of proliferation and differentiation. The application of the separated CD34+ cells was in testing the pharmacological effect of three samples isolated from enzyme-digested traditional Chinese medicine Colla corii asini. 相似文献

The present study demonstrated the enhanced hydroxyl (OH) radical generation by combined use of dual-frequency (0.5 MHz and 1 MHz) ultrasound (US) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) as sonocatalyst. The OH radical generation became the maximum, when 0.5 MHz US was irradiated at an intensity of 0.8 W/cm2 and 1 MHz US was irradiated at intensities at 0.4 W/cm2 in the presence of TiO2 NPs under the examined conditions. After incorporation of TiO2 NPs modified with targeting protein pre-S1/S2, HepG2 cancer cells were subjected to the dual-frequency US at optimum irradiation intensities (“targeted-TiO2/dual-US treatment”). Growth of the HepG2 cells was reduced by 46% compared with the control condition after irradiation of dual-frequency US for 60 s with TiO2 NPs incorporation. In contrast, HepG2 cell growth was almost the same as that in the control condition when cells were irradiated with either 0.5 MHz or 1 MHz ultrasound alone without TiO2 NP incorporation. 相似文献

Si nanoparticles (NPs), which are innovative promising light-harvesting components of thin-film solar cells and key-enabling biocompatible theranostic elements of infrared-laser and radiofrequency hyperthermia-based therapies of cancer cells in tumors and metastases, are significantly advanced in their near/mid-infrared band-to-band and free-carrier absorption via donor sulfur-hyperdoping during high-throughput facile femtosecond-laser ablative production in liquid carbon disulfide. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman microscopy reveal their mixed nanocrystalline/amorphous structure, enabling the extraordinary sulfur content of a few atomic percents and very minor surface oxidation/carbonization characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A 200-nm thick layer of the nanoparticles exhibits near−mid-infrared absorbance, comparable to that of the initial 380-micron thick n-doped Si wafer (phosphor-dopant concentration ≈1015 cm−3), with the corresponding extinction coefficient for the hyperdoped NPs being 4–7 orders higher over the broadband spectral range of 1–25 micrometers. Such ultimate, but potentially tunable mid-IR structured, multi-band absorption of various sulfur-impurity clusters and smooth free-carrier absorption are break through advances in mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser and radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia-based therapies, as envisioned in the RF-heating tests, and in fabrication of higher-efficiency thin-film and bulk photovoltaic devices with ultra-broad (UV−mid-IR) spectral response. 相似文献

In this study, we applied sonodynamic therapy to cancer cells based on the delivery of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) modified with avidin protein, which preferentially discriminated cancerous cells from healthy cells. Subsequently, hydroxyl radicals were generated from the TiO2 NPs after activation by external ultrasound irradiation (TiO2/US treatment). Although 30% of the normal breast cells (human mammary epithelial cells) exhibited the uptake of avidin-modified TiO2 NPs, over 80% of the breast cancer cells (MCF-7) exhibited the uptake of avidin-TiO2 NPs. Next the effect of the TiO2/US treatment on MCF-7 cell growth was examined for up to 96 h after 1-MHz ultrasound was applied (0.1 W/cm2, 30 s) to cells that incorporated the TiO2 NPs. No apparent cell injury was observed until 24 h after the treatment, but the viable cell concentration declined to 68% compared with the control at 96 h. 相似文献

Phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was carried out using uncoated and methyl acrylic acid (MAA)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs), having size <10 nm, as adsorbents. Batch adsorption studies revealed that the phenol removal efficiency of MAA-coated NPs (950 mg g?1) is significantly higher than that of uncoated NPs (550 mg g?1) under neutral to acidic conditions. However, this improvement disappears above pH 9. The adsorption data under optimized conditions (pH 7) were modeled with pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetics and subjected to Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The analysis determined that pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich model are appropriate for both uncoated and MAA-coated NPs (all R 2 > 0.98). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of pristine and phenol-adsorbed NPs revealed core-level binding energy and charge for Fe(2s) and O(1s) on the NP surfaces. The calculations suggest that phenol adsorption onto MAA-coated NPs is a charge transfer process, where the adsorbate (phenol) acts as an electron donor and the NP surface (Fe, O) as an electron acceptor. However, a physisorption process appears to be the relevant mechanism for uncoated NPs. 相似文献

In this paper, a new adsorbent, hexadecyl functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticles (C16/SiO2-Fe3O4 NPs), was prepared by a facile method. The final product was characterized by X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and vibration sample magnetometer. The preparation and adsorption conditions of the adsorbent were optimized. The adsorbent prepared maintaining volume ratio of tetraethylorthosilicate to hexadecyltrimethoxysilane at 1:0.5 and their total volume at 1100 μL exhibited high adsorption capacity. The optimum pH value for the adsorption experiments was 11.00. The adsorption behavior of Rhodamine 6G onto C16/SiO2-Fe3O4 NPs obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. Thermodynamic data indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent could reach to 35.6 mg g−1, owing to the hydrophobic attraction and the enhanced electrostatic attraction. The saturation magnetization of the magnetic adsorbent was 35 emu g−1, which ensured the magnetic separation after adsorption. 相似文献

Combination of kinds of therapy modalities is promising for effective cancer treatment. Herein, a kind of multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) was developed for cancer chemo-photothermal therapy applications. Polypyrrole (PPy) NPs were formed using a facile polymerization method using poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) as stabilizer, followed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) loading. Showing obvious absorbance in the NIR range, the obtained PPy-PEI-PEG NPs displayed well photothermal ability with desirable photothermal stability. The release of the loaded DOX can be promoted by pH and laser stimulation. Compared with single therapy modality, the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy showed higher cancer cell killing effect. The cellular internalization of the obtained NPs was proved to be effective. The developed multifunctional NPs are promising candidates for combined therapy of cancer cells. 相似文献

A novel and simple method for the colorimetric quantitative sensing of individual alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, and Rb+) based on the reversible properties of self-assembled aggregates and individual gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) is described. This paper demonstrates reversible self-assembly processes where the degree of assembly and disassembly is dependent on the individual alkali metal ion concentration, nanoparticle size, and alkali metal ionic radii. The color changes of the colloidal Au NPs with metal ion concentrations in colloidal NP solutions occur reversibly. Below a certain concentration of alkali metal ions, the aggregates of Au NPs are redispersed. As the Au NP diameters and the alkali metal ionic radii increase, the critical concentration decreases. 相似文献

Sodium fluoride-based β-NaLnF4 nanoparticles (NPs) doped with lanthanide ions are promising materials for application as luminescent markers in bio-imaging. In this work, the effect of NPs doped with yttrium (Y), gadolinium (Gd), europium (Eu), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb) and terbium (Tb) ions on phagocytic activity of monocytes and granulocytes and the respiratory burst was examined. The surface functionalization of <10-nm NPs was performed according to our variation of patent pending ligand exchange method that resulted in meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) molecules on their surface. Y-core-based NCs were doped with Eu ions, which enabled them to be excited with UV light wavelengths. Cultures of human peripheral blood (n = 8) were in vitro treated with five different concentrations of eight NPs for 24 h. In summary, neither type of nanoparticles is found toxic with respect to conducted test; however, some cause toxic effects (they have statistically significant deviations compared to reference) in some selected doses tested. Both core types of NPs (Y-core and Gd-core) impaired the phagocytic activity of monocytes the strongest, having minimal or none whatsoever influence on granulocytes and respiratory burst of phagocytic cells. The lowest toxicity was observed in Gd-core, Yb, Tm dopants and near-infrared nanoparticles. Clear dose-dependent effect of NPs on phagocytic activity of leukocytes and respiratory burst of cells was observed for limited number of samples. 相似文献

Curcumin (Curcuma longa L), a yellow‐colored Indian spice, receives immense attention for the prevention and treatment of various cancers. Despite the superlative therapeutic efficacy, its poor solubility and instability in the aqueous medium hinder the effectiveness of cancer treatment. The novel preparation of curcumin nanoparticles by mechanical grinding of curcumin crystals without any toxic organic solvents is described here for the first time. The surface of curcumin nanoparticles is modified with the negatively charged polyelectrolyte poly(sodium 4‐strynesulfonate) through hydrogen bonding, which is the key to increasing the solubility and stability in the aqueous medium. The negative surface charge is exploited to conjugate doxorubicin drug molecule on the surface of curcumin nanoparticles as evidenced by fluorescence quenching experiments. Doxorubicin‐conjugated curcumin nanoparticles have a higher solubility with an enhanced cytotoxic effect toward the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line by a reactive‐oxygen‐species‐mediated p53‐dependent apoptotic pathway. The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy significantly enhances antitumor activity of doxorubicin‐conjugated curcumin nanoparticles, and is expected to be a promising anticancer agent with special reference to human liver carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Biosafe nanoparticles with strong near‐infrared (NIR) light photothermal conversion effect can bring effective hyperthermia as one of the promising approaches in cancer therapy. In this work, a new facile and green preparation method of polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles based on 60Co γ‐ray radiation on a simple air‐saturated strong acidic aqueous solution of pyrrole (pH ≤ 1) is studied. According to the MCAP‐FACSIMILE simulation on the concentrations of the radiolysis products of water at the presence of H+ and O2, the main strong oxidative radiolysis products · OH and H2O2 rapidly induce the polymerization of pyrrole. The size of the prepared PPy nanoparticles is about several tens of nanometers and can be controlled by the pH, the concentration of the stabilizer poly(vinyl alcohol), and the absorbed dose rate (the amount of energy absorbed per unit mass of the irradiated material within per unit of time). The PPy nanoparticles show rapid and remarkable NIR (808 nm) photothermal conversion efficiency up to 40.1% in water. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that the prepared PPy nanoparticles exhibit enough strong NIR photothermal effect in tumor cells (4T1 and HeLa) and show a promising prospect as the NIR photothermal agent for the future cancer therapy. 相似文献

Functionalized Biomimetic Magnetic Nanoparticles as Effective Nanocarriers for Targeted Chemotherapy
Ana Peigneux Francesca Oltolina Donato Colangelo Guillermo R. Iglesias Angel V. Delgado Maria Prat Concepcion Jimenez‐Lopez 《Particle & Particle Systems Characterization》2019,36(6)
Novel MamC‐mediated biomimetic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) are proposed as valuable carriers for targeted chemotherapy because of the size (36 ± 12 nm) and of surface properties conferred by MamC coating. They are super‐paramagnetic at room and body temperatures, have a large magnetic moment per particle, mediate hyperthermia, are cytocompatible, and, having a negative surface charge at physiological pH, can be efficiently coupled with DOXOrubicin (DOXO) and a monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against the human Met/hepatocyte growth factor receptor (overexpressed in many cancers) displaying coupling stability, while releasing DOXO at acidic pH. This release can be enhanced by hyperthermia. The DOXO‐mAb‐BMNPs selectively recognize Met, bind efficiently to Met+ tumor cells, and discharge DOXO within their nuclei more efficiently than DOXO‐BMNPs, exerting cytotoxicity. These data represent proof of concept for future in vivo experiments in which the controlled dual targeting (mAb‐mediated and magnetic) approach and combined (chemotherapy and hyperthermia) therapy will be studied. 相似文献
