Multifunctional magnetic nanosystems have attracted an enormous attention of researchers for their potential applications in cancer diagnostics and therapy. The localized nanotherapies triggered by the external stimuli, like magnetic fields and visible light, are significant in clinical applications. We report a liposomal system that aims to treat cancer by magnetic hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy simultaneously. The liposomes enclose clinically used photosensitizer m-THPC (Foscan) and anti-cancer drug doxorubicin, in its hydrophobic lipid bilayers, and contains magnetite nanoparticles in hydrophilic core. Three different sizes of magnetic nanoparticles (10, 22 and 30nm) and liposomes (40, 70 and 110nm) were used in this study. Magnetite single domain nanoparticles forming the magnetic core were superparamagnetic but liposomes expressed slight coercivity and hysteresis due to the clustering of nanoparticles in the core. This enhanced the heating efficiency (specific power loss) of the liposomes under an AC field (375kHz, 170Oe). Cell viability and toxicity were studied on HeLa cells using MTT assay and proteomic analysis. Confocal and fluorescence microscopy were used to study the photosensitizer's profile and cells response to combined therapy. It revealed that combined therapy almost completely eliminated the cancer cells as opposed to the separate treatments. Magnetic hyperthermia and photodynamic therapies were almost equally effective whereas chemotherapy showed the least effect.
多功能磁性纳米系统因其在癌症诊断和治疗中的潜在应用而引起了研究人员的极大关注。由外部刺激(如磁场和可见光)触发的局部纳米疗法在临床应用中具有重要意义。我们报道了一种脂质体系统,旨在通过磁热疗、光动力疗法和化疗同时治疗癌症。脂质体在其疏水脂质双层中包裹临床使用的光敏剂m-THPC(福司可林)和抗癌药物阿霉素,并在亲水核心中包含磁铁矿纳米颗粒。本研究使用了三种不同尺寸的磁性纳米颗粒(10、22和30nm)和脂质体(40、70和110nm)。形成磁芯的磁铁矿单畴纳米颗粒是超顺磁性的,但由于纳米颗粒在核心中的聚集,脂质体表现出轻微的矫顽力和滞后现象。这提高了脂质体在交流场(375kHz,170Oe)下的加热效率(比功率损耗)。使用MTT法和蛋白质组学分析研究了对HeLa细胞的细胞活力和毒性。共聚焦和荧光显微镜用于研究光敏剂的分布以及细胞对联合治疗的反应。结果表明,与单独治疗相比,联合治疗几乎完全消除了癌细胞。磁热疗和光动力疗法几乎同样有效,而化疗效果最差。
