Abstract:
Objective:To develop a novel magnetic composite nanoparticle with excellent targeting and biocompatibility and verify synergistic magnetic hyperthermia/radiotherapy efficacy in HeLa cells.Methods:Bovine serum albumin(BSA)was used to modify ferroferric oxide(Fe 3O 4)nanoparticles, and then L-selenocystine and folic acid(FA)were coupled on the surface of BSA by carbodiimide method to synthesize magnetic composite nanoparticles Fe 3O 4@BSA@SeCyc2@FA.The as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized to determine the structure, composition, and properties of the nanoparticles to support their biological applications.By evaluating the magnetothermal properties of the as-prepared nanoparticles, analyzing the internalization effect of HeLa cells on the particles and using CellTiter and reactive oxygen species(ROS)kits to detect the cell viability and ROS production of different experimental groups, respectively, the killing and inhibiting effects on HeLa cells were evaluated when hyperthermia was combined with radiotherapy. Results:The average particle size of the Fe 3O 4@BSA@SeCyc2@FA nanoparticles was(19.31 ± 4.84)nm, and the zeta potential was -25.4 mV(pH=7), which indicated that the as-prepared nanoparticles maintained acceptable dispersion and stability for biological experiments.By BSA and FA characteristic absorption peaks combined with the measured content of Se(10.89 μM), L-selenocystine and FA were successfully modified on the surface of the composite nanoparticles.The saturation magnetization value of the Fe 3O 4@BSA@SeCyc2@FA nanoparticles was 47.2 emu/g.The as-prepared nanoparticles maintained the specific absorption rate(SAR)value of 125.4 W/g at the alternating magnetic field of 518 kHz/16 kAm -1, indicating excellent heat generation efficiency(the temperature level ΔT=7 ℃ within 15 min).No significant toxicity was found for HUVEC cells even within the concentration range from 0 to 200 μg/ml and inhibition of cell viability of the HeLa was shown.When magnetic hyperthermia combined with high-energy X-ray, the cell viability of the HeLa decreased significantly to 54.7%, and the intracellular ROS production increased by 108.2% compared with the control group, which showed that the as-prepared nanoparticles significantly enhanced the radiosensitivity of HeLa cells, and the synergistic effect of magnetic hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy was more effective in inhibiting and killing them. Conclusions:The as-prepared nanoparticles show great promise for use as a multifunctional nanoplatform for the synergistic magnetic hyperthermia/radiotherapy to overcome the limitations of monotherapy for cancer treatment.
