Abstract
The effects of nanoparticle morphology, especially size and shape, on their interactions with cells are of great interest in understanding the fate of nanoparticles in biological systems and designing them for biomedical applications. While size and shape-dependent cell behavior, endocytosis mechanism, and subcellular distribution of nanoparticles have been investigated extensively with gold and other nanoparticles, studies on iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP), one of the most promising and well-thought-of nanomaterials in biomedical applications, were limited. In this study, we synthesized oligosaccharide-coated water-soluble iron oxide nanorods (IONR) with different core sizes (nm) and different aspect ratios (i.e., length/width), such as IONR(L) at 140/6 nm and IONR(S) at 50/7 nm as well as spherical IONP (20 nm). We investigated how their sizes and shapes affect uptake mechanisms, localization, and cell viability in different cell lines. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal fluorescence microscopic imaging confirmed the internalization of these nanoparticles in different types of cells and subsequent accumulation in the subcellular compartments, such as the endosomes, and into the cytosol. Specifically, IONR(L) exhibited the highest cellular uptake compared to IONR(S) and spherical IONP, 1.36-fold and 1.17-fold higher than that of spherical IONP in macrophages and pediatric brain tumor medulloblastoma cells, respectively. To examine the cellular uptake mechanisms preferred by the different IONR and IONP, we used different endocytosis inhibitors to block specific cellular internalization pathways when cells were treated with different nanoparticles. The results from these blocking experiments showed that IONR(L) enter macrophages and normal kidney cells through clathrin-mediated, dynamin-dependent, and macropinocytosis/phagocytosis pathways, while they are internalized in cancer cells primarily via clathrin/caveolae-mediated and phagocytosis mechanisms. Overall, our findings provide new insights into further development of magnetic IONR-based imaging probes and drug delivery systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Celastrol (CST) has positive pharmacological effects on various cancers, but clinical application is limited because of poor water solubility and systemic toxicity. Ferric oxide (Fe3O4) has a large specific surface area and can be functionalized by inorganic modification to form complex magnetic drug delivery systems. Herein, Fe3O4 was surface-modified with citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) (via) the Mitsunobu reaction and then covalently bound to CST. Finally, magnetic microbubbles (MMBs) containing perfluoropropane (C3F8) and Fe3O4-PEG2K-CST particles were constructed with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as the shell membrane. In vitro studies showed that ultrasound-mediated MMBs exhibited improved inhibition of VX2 cell proliferation compared to inhibition achieved using MMBs without ultrasound mediation, blank MMBs, or free CST. In ultrasound mode, MMBs have favorable imaging properties. After the application of a high mechanical index, MMBs collapse through the cavitation effect, releasing their internal Fe3O4-PEG2K-CST. The CST is then delivered to the tumor microenvironment under acidic conditions. In magnetic resonance imaging T2 mode, a specific hypointense signal was observed in the tumor area compared with that before treatment, whereas no significant change occurred in the signal intensity of the surrounding organs. After treatment, pathological examination of tumor-bearing rabbit tissues showed that iron elements accumulated in several apoptosis cells in the tumor area, with no apparent abnormalities found in other areas. Thus, ultrasound-mediated MMBs could significantly improve the drug uptake of solid tumors and inhibit tumor growth with favorable biological safety.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has provided a promising strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke, which is still restricted by the lack of long-term cell tracking strategy as well as the poor survival rate of stem cells in ischemic region. Herein, a dual-functional nanoprobe, cobalt protoporphyrin-induced nano-self-assembly (CPSP), has been developed through a cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPP) aggregation-induced self-assembly strategy, which combines CoPP and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPION) via a simple solvent evaporation-driven method. Without any additional carrier materials, the obtained CPSP is featured with good biocompatibility and high proportions of active ingredients. The SPIONs in CPSPs form a cluster-like structure, endowing this nano-self-assembly with excellent T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging performance. Furthermore, the CoPP released from CPSPs could effectively protect MSCs by upregulating heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression. The in vivo cell tracing capacity of CPSPs is confirmed by monitoring the migration of labeled MSCs with MR imaging in a middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model. More importantly, the sustained release of CoPP from CPSPs improves the survival of transplanted MSCs and promotes neural repair and neurobehavioral recovery of ischemic mice. Overall, this work presents a novel dual-functional nanoagent with an ingenious design for advancing MSC-based therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, gene therapy has made remarkable achievements in tumor treatment. In a successfully cancer gene therapy, a smart gene delivery system is necessary for both protecting the therapeutic genes in circulation and enabling high gene expression in tumor sites. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have demonstrated their bright promise for highly efficient gene delivery target to tumor tissues, partly due to their good biocompatibility, magnetic responsiveness, and extensive functional surface modification. In this review, the latest progress in targeting cancer gene therapy is introduced, and the unique properties of IONPs contributing to the efficient delivery of therapeutic genes are summarized with detailed examples. Furthermore, the diagnosis potentials and synergistic tumor treatment capacity of IONPs are highlighted. In addition, aiming at potential risks during the gene delivery process, several strategies to improve the efficiency or reduce the potential risks of using IONPs for cancer gene therapy are introduced and addressed. The strategies and applications summarized in this review provide a general understanding for the potential applications of IONPs in cancer gene therapy.

Three-dimensional assembly and disassembly of Fe 3O 4-decorated porous carbon nanocomposite with enhanced transversal relaxation for magnetic resonance sensing of bisphenol A. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:90. [PMID: 33598733 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04718-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
The design and construction of a novel magnetic resonance sensor (MRS) is presented for bisphenol A (BPA) detection. The MRS has been built based on the core component of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (~ 40 nm), which were uniformly distributed in nanoporous carbon (abbreviated as Fe3O4@NPC). The synthesis was derived from the calcination of the metal organic framework (MOF) precursor of Fe-MIL-101 at high temperature. Fe3O4@NPC was confirmed with enhanced transversal relaxation with r2 value of 118.2 mM-1 s-1, which was around 1.7 times higher than that of the naked Fe3O4 nanoparticle. This enhancement is attributed to the excellent proton transverse relaxation rate of Fe3O4@NPC caused by the reduced self-diffusion coefficient of water molecules in the vicinity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the nanoporous carbon. BPA antibody (Ab) and antigen (Ag)-ovalbumin (OVA) were immobilized onto the Fe3O4@NPC to form Ab-Fe3O4@NPC and Ag-Fe3O4@NPC, respectively. These two composites can cause the three-dimensional assembly of Fe3O4@NPC via immunological recognition. The presence of BPA can compete with antigen-OVA to combine with Ab-Fe3O4@NPC, thereby breaking the assembly process (disassembly). The difference in the change of the T2 value before and after adding BPA can thus be used to monitor BPA. The proposed MRS not only revealed a wide linear range of BPA concentration from 0.05 to 50 ng mL-1 with an extremely low detection limit of 0.012 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3), but also displayed high selectivity towards matrix interferences. The recoveries of BPA ranged from 95.6 to 108.4% for spiked tea π, and 93.4 to 104.7% for spiked canned oranges samples, respectively, and the RSD (n = 3) was less than 4.4% for 3 successive assays. The versatility of Fe3O4@NPC with customized relaxation responses provides the possibility for the adaptation of magnetic resonance platforms for food safety development. The magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the nanoporous carbon (Fe3O4@NPC), which derived from the calcinating of the metal organic framework (MOF) precursor of Fe-MIL-101. And the magnetic Fe3O4@NPCs are adopted for the construction of magnetic resonance sensor (MRS) for bisphenol A (BPA) detection.

Abstract
The commercial availability of combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/positron emission tomography (PET) scanners for clinical use has increased demand for easily prepared agents which offer signal or contrast in both modalities. Herein we describe a new class of silica coated iron-oxide nanorods (NRs) coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or a tetraazamacrocyclic chelator (DO3A). Studies of the coated NRs validate their composition and confirm their properties as in vivo T2 MRI contrast agents. Radiolabelling studies with the positron emitting radioisotope gallium-68 (t1/2 = 68 min) demonstrate that, in the presence of the silica coating, the macrocyclic chelator was not required for preparation of highly stable radiometal-NR constructs. In vivo PET-CT and MR imaging studies show the expected high liver uptake of gallium-68 radiolabelled nanorods with no significant release of gallium-68 metal ions, validating our innovation to provide a novel simple method for labelling of iron oxide NRs with a radiometal in the absence of a chelating unit that can be used for high sensitivity liver imaging.

Abstract
The investigation of iron oxide-based positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) multimodal imaging agents is an expanding field in which a variety of nanoparticle sizes, shapes, surface coatings and radioisotopes are open for exploration. This study develops iron oxide nanorods which are coated with various mixtures of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and macrocyclic ligand (DO3A) via the formation of a silica layer on the surface. Gallium-68 radiolabelling of the nanorods was carried out in high radiochemical yields (RCY) and their stability in human serum was demonstrated for all constructs, even in the absence of the macrocyclic chelating unit. Further studies were carried out in an attempt to determine the appropriate amount of PEG coating to give optimal properties for future in vivo studies.

Abstract
Among the wide variety in iron oxide nanoparticles which are routinely used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, magnetoliposomes (MLs) take up a special place. In the present work, the two main types (large and small MLs) are defined and their specific features are commented. For both types of MLs, the flexibility of the lipid coating allows for efficient functionalization, enabling bimodal imaging (e.g., MRI and fluorescence) or the use of MLs as theranostics. These features are especially true for large MLs, where several magnetite cores are encapsulated within a single large liposome, which were found to be highly efficient theranostic agents. By carefully fine-tuning the number of magnetite cores and attaching Gd(3+) -complexes onto the liposomal surface, the large MLs can be efficiently optimized for dynamic MRI. A special type of MLs, biogenic MLs, can also be efficiently used in this regard, with potential applications in cancer treatment and imaging. Small MLs, where the lipid bilayer is immediately attached onto a solid magnetite core, give a very high r2 /r1 ratio. The flexibility of the lipid bilayer allows the incorporation of poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid conjugates to increase blood circulation times and be used as bone marrow contrast agents. Cationic lipids can also be incorporated, leading to high cell uptake and associated strong contrast generation in MRI of implanted cells. Unique for these small MLs is the high resistance the particles exhibit against intracellular degradation compared with dextran- or citrate-coated particles. Additionally, intracellular clustering of the iron oxide cores enhances negative contrast generation and enables longer tracking of labeled cells in time.
