(1) Background: Magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles have great potential for biomedical applications, including hyperthermia and magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we aimed to identify the biological activity of nanoconjugates composed of superparamagnetic FeO nanoparticles coated with alginate and curcumin (FeO/Cur@ALG) in cancer cells. (2) Methods: The nanoparticles were evaluated for the biocompatibility and toxicity on mice. The MRI enhancement and hyperthermia capacities of FeO/Cur@ALG were determined in both in vitro and in vivo sarcoma models. (3) Results: The results show that the magnetite nanoparticles exhibit high biocompatibility and low toxicity in mice at FeO concentrations up to 120 mg/kg when administered via intravenous injection. The FeO/Cur@ALG nanoparticles enhance the magnetic resonance imaging contrast in cell cultures and tumor-bearing Swiss mice. The autofluorescence of curcumin also allowed us to observe the penetration of the nanoparticles into sarcoma 180 cells. In particular, the nanoconjugates synergistically inhibit the growth of sarcoma 180 tumors via magnetic heating and the anticancer effects of curcumin, both in vitro and in vivo. (4) Conclusions: Our study reveals that FeO/Cur@ALG has a high potential for medicinal applications and should be further developed for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
(1) 背景:磁铁矿(FeO)纳米颗粒在生物医学应用中具有巨大潜力,包括热疗和磁共振成像。在本研究中,我们旨在确定由藻酸盐和姜黄素包覆的超顺磁性FeO纳米颗粒组成的纳米缀合物(FeO/Cur@ALG)在癌细胞中的生物活性。(2) 方法:评估纳米颗粒对小鼠的生物相容性和毒性。在体外和体内肉瘤模型中测定FeO/Cur@ALG的磁共振成像增强和热疗能力。(3) 结果:结果表明,通过静脉注射给药时,在FeO浓度高达120 mg/kg的情况下,磁铁矿纳米颗粒在小鼠中表现出高生物相容性和低毒性。FeO/Cur@ALG纳米颗粒增强了细胞培养物和荷瘤瑞士小鼠的磁共振成像对比度。姜黄素的自发荧光还使我们能够观察到纳米颗粒进入肉瘤180细胞的情况。特别是,纳米缀合物通过磁热和姜黄素的抗癌作用在体外和体内协同抑制肉瘤180肿瘤的生长。(4) 结论:我们的研究表明,FeO/Cur@ALG在医学应用方面具有很高的潜力,应进一步开发用于癌症诊断和治疗。
