Objective To develop a cancer cell targeting probe based on silica-coated gold nanorods and investigate its optics properties and its targeting effect on human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in vitro.Methods Preparation of gold nanorods (GNRs) by seeded growth method,and then the spherical core-shell silica-coated gold nanorods were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method,finally the GNRs@SiO2 was conjugated with folate (GNRs@SiO2-FA).The characteristics of GNRs@SiO2-FA were studied using transmission electron microscopy,and UV spectra.The cells were divided into 2 groups randomly,adding GNRs@SiO2-FA and GNRs solution respectively at the gold concentration of 40.0 × 10-6,20.0 ×10-6,10.0 × 10-6,5.0 × 10-6,2.5 × 10-6,and the MTT method was applied to detect the absorbance (A value) and study the cytotoxicity of GNRs@SiO2-FA and GNRs.The cells were divided into 2 groups randomly,and incubated with the same concentration of GNRs@SiO2-FA and GNRs@SiO2 solution respectively,at 2,4,8,16,24 h,and the targeting of GNRs@SiO2-FA cellular uptake were detected by ICPMS by observing the process of GNRs@SiO2-FA into the cells by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The data represented by (-x) ± s ; single factor analysis of variance were compared between the 2 groups ; and the differences were significant when P < 0.05.Results UV spectrum confirmed the successful preparation of GNRs@SiO2-FA.The A value of the same concentration group was variance analysised,and the differences between the 2 groups was statistically significant (all P < 0.01) with the gold element concentration from high to low:F =191.876,265.419,77.987,52.061,18.745.The ICP-MS confirmed GNRs@SiO2-FA could specifically bind with HepG2 cells.GNRs@SiO2 group gold element content at 2,4,8,16,24 h was (256.7±3.3),(602.8±2.4),(1067.1±3.6),(1998.5±4.3),(2078.5±1.3) mg/kg and GNRs@SiO2-FA group was(693.1 ±2.0),(1432.0 ±2.6),(2331.3 ±3.5),(2484.5 ±5.0),(2589.7 ±2.1)mg/kg,and the 2 groups was statistically significant (F =3278.070,34287.199,85434.870,18333.454,42412.973,P <0.01).TEM results showed that a small amount of nano probes were in the cytoplasm after cultured with GNRs@SiO2-FA cells 1 h,and that,a lot of probe were in the cytoplasm,4-24 h later,but there was no probe in the nucleus.Conclusion The prepared Folate-conjugated gold nanorods has good performance on biocompatibility and targeting.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism of the apoptosis of hepatoma cell line HepG2 induced by the combination use of GNRs@SiO2-FA and 125I seeds and to discuss its relationship with Bcl-2 and Bax protein expressions so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment of hepatic cancer with interstitial brachytherapy by using 125I seeds. Methods In vitro cultured HepG2 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups: blank control group (not treated), simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group, simple 125I seeds group, and combination group (GNRs@SiO2-FA plus 125I seeds). The apoptosis of HepG2 cells was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA of HepG2 cells were tested by RT-PCR. The apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl-2) and the tumor proliferation cell nuclear antigen (Ki67) proteins expression on HepG2 cells were examined with immunohistochemistry method. Results The flow cytometry examination showed that the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells in the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and simple 125I seeds group was higher than that in blank control group (P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and the simple 125I seeds group (P< 0.05). The expression level of Bax mRNA in the combination group was higher than that in the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and simple 125I seeds group, while the expression level of Bcl-2 mRNA in the combination group was obviously lower than that in the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and simple 125I seeds group. Bax protein was expressed on cytoplasm, Bcl-2 protein was expressed on cytoplasm and cell membrane, while Ki67 protein was expressed on nucleus. All of them presented as brown finely granular precipitations. Statistically significant differences in the amount of Bax, Bcl-2 and Ki67 protein expression existed between each other among the four groups (P< 0.05). The positive expression rate of Bax protein in the combination group was significantly higher than that of the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and the simple 125I seeds group, while the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 and Ki67 protein was significantly lower than that of the simple GNRs@SiO2-FA group and the simple 125I seeds group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination use of GNRs@SiO2-FA and 125I seeds can more effectively induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. This effect may be accomplished through increasing the expression of Bax protein and inhibiting the expression of Bcl-2 and Ki67 proteins.

Objective To establish the rabbit model with hepatic VX-2 tumor and to investigate the intake of folate-conjugated silica-coated gold nanorods (GNRs@SiO2-FA) in experimental rabbits. Methods Under CT-guidance, animal model with VX-2 liver cancer was established in 27 rabbits by using puncture inoculation method. CT scanning and sonography were employed to observe the tumor growth. After two weeks, the rabbits were randomly and equally divided into blank control group (n=9, injection of saline), portal vein injection group (n=9, injection of GNRs@SiO2-FA) and intra-tumoral injection group (n=9, injection of GNRs@SiO2-FA). Every three rabbits from each group were sacrificed each time at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after the treatment. The tumor tissue and the major organs were collected and sent for pathological examination. The cellular uptake of GNRs@SiO2-FA was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results The rabbit model of VX-2 liver cancer was successfully established. CT and sonography examination indicated that the tumor was rich in blood supply. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that GNRs@SiO2-FA could specifically bind with tumor cells within 24 hours after injection, then the GNRs@SiO2-FA entered into the tumor cells and gathered in the tumor cytoplasm. Conclusion GNRs@SiO2-FA has highly targeted effect on the liver cancer cells in experimental animals, which has very important application prospect in targeting hyperthermia therapy and in 125I seed implantation therapy.
