A comprehensive understanding of nanoparticle (NP)-protein interaction (protein corona formation) is required. So far, many factors influencing this interaction have been investigated, like size and ζ potential. However, NPs exposure concentration has always been ignored. Herein, we aim to disclose the correlation of NPs exposure concentration with protein adsorption.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Four polymeric NPs systems possessing similar sizes (230 ± 20 nm) but varied ζ potentials (-30 ∼ +40 mv) were prepared. Physicochemical properties and protein adsorption upon NP-protein interaction were characterized.
Protein adsorption capacity and adsorbed protein types were NPs concentration-dependent.
Considering the critical impacts of protein adsorption on NPs delivery, our work could be an urgent warning about the possible risks of dosage adjustment of nanoformulations.
需要全面了解纳米颗粒(NP)-蛋白质相互作用(蛋白质冠形成)。到目前为止,已经研究了许多影响这种相互作用的因素,如大小和 ζ 电位。然而,一直忽略了 NPs 暴露浓度。在此,我们旨在揭示 NPs 暴露浓度与蛋白质吸附的相关性。
制备了四个具有相似尺寸(230±20nm)但 ζ 电位(-30∼+40mV)不同的聚合物 NP 系统。对 NP-蛋白质相互作用时的物理化学性质和蛋白质吸附进行了表征。
蛋白质吸附量和吸附的蛋白质类型与 NPs 浓度有关。
考虑到蛋白质吸附对 NPs 传递的关键影响,我们的工作可能对纳米制剂剂量调整的潜在风险发出了紧急警告。
