研究目的
To develop a novel method for preparing a fluorescent mesoporous silica-carbon dot nanohybrid (MSNs-CDs) that can selectively target folate receptor-overexpressing cancer cells for fluorescence imaging-guided drug delivery, aiming to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects in cancer treatment.
研究成果
The MSNs-CDs nanohybrid, prepared via a facile one-pot solvothermal method, exhibits stable yellow emission, retains mesoporous structure, and specifically targets FR-overexpressing cancer cells. It effectively delivers anticancer drugs like DOX, enhancing chemotherapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects due to pH-dependent release and FR-mediated targeting. This work provides a strategy for multifunctional theranostic platforms in cancer diagnosis and therapy, with ongoing efforts to target other cancer types.
研究不足
The nanohybrid showed superior performance only for folate receptor-overexpressing cancer cells (e.g., HeLa cells), limiting its applicability to other cancer types without FR overexpression. Potential areas for optimization include extending the targeting capability to other cancer cells and in vivo applications, as the study primarily focused on in vitro models.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a one-pot solvothermal method to synthesize the MSNs-CDs nanohybrid using folic acid and amino-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs-NH2) via microwave-assisted reaction. The design focused on in situ carbonization of folic acid on MSNs to retain folate receptor targeting capability.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549), and mouse fibroblast cells (L929) were used as cell models. Chemicals were purchased from commercial sources like Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. and Aladdin Chemistry Co., Ltd.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included MDS-6G microwave chemical reactor (SMART, Sineo Microwave Chemistry Technology), transmission electron microscope (Tecnai F20), FT-IR spectrometer (Nicolet 6700), fluorescence spectrophotometer (Hitachi F-4600), XPS spectrograph (Axis Ultra DLD), DLS equipment (Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS), XRD diffractometer (Rigaku D/max-2000), microplate reader (iMark 168-1130, Bio-Rad), and confocal laser scanning microscope (TSCSPS II, Leica). Materials included TEOS, CTAC, TEA, TMS-EDA, FA, DMSO, DOX, Hoechst 33258, MTT, DMEM, FBS, etc.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved preparing MSNs-NH2, then MSNs-CDs via solvothermal reaction, followed by DOX loading and release studies. Cell culture, cytotoxicity assays (MTT), targeting studies (CLSM and flow cytometry), and therapeutic efficacy tests were conducted with controlled conditions (e.g., pH, temperature).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using BET method for surface area, BJH model for pore size, TGA for weight loss, FT-IR and XPS for functional groups, fluorescence spectra for optical properties, DLS for size and zeta potential, and statistical analysis for cell viability and fluorescence intensity.
