Microwave-Induced Chemotoxicity of Polydopamine-Coated Magnetic Nanocubes.

ABSTRACT: Polydopamine-coated FeCo nanocubes (PDFCs) were successfully synthesized and tested under microwave irradiation of 2.45 GHz frequency and 0.86 W/cm(2) power. These particles were found to be non-toxic in the absence of irradiation, but gained significant toxicity upon irradiation. Interestingly, no increase in relative heating rate was observed when the PDFCs were irradiated in solution, eliminating nanoparticle (NP)-induced thermal ablation as the source of toxicity. Based on these studies, we propose that microwave-induced redox processes generate the observed toxicity.

Magnetic field-induced assembly of oriented superlattices from maghemite nanocubes.

Project description:Tailoring the structure of nanocrystal superlattices is an important step toward controlled design of novel nanostructured materials and devices. We demonstrate how the long-range order and macroscopic dimensions of magnetic nanoparticle arrays can be controlled by the use of a modulated magnetic field. Inducing a dipolar attraction during the initial stage of the drying-mediated self-assembly process was sufficient to assemble the superparamagnetic oleate-capped maghemite nanocubes into large and defect-free superstructures with both translational and orientational order. The characteristic dimensions of the superlattice are controlled by the particle concentration as well as the duration of the applied magnetic field. The superparamagnetic maghemite nanocubes assemble into large and highly oriented thin arrays by applying the magnetic field perpendicular to the substrate surface only during the initial phase of drying-mediated self-assembly. Micrometer-sized and thick three-dimensional mesocrystals are obtained when the drying dispersion is subjected to an external magnetic field of moderate strength for the entire duration of the assembly process. The discovery of how translational and orientation order of nanocrystal superlattices can be induced by a temporal modulation of an anisotropic interparticle force offers new insight on the importance of the initial nucleation stage in the self-assembly process and suggests new routes for controlled self-assembly of dipolar nanocrystals.

Silver Nanocubes Coated in Ceria: Core/Shell Size Effects on Light-Induced Charge Transfer.

Project description:Plasmonic sensitization of semiconductors is an attractive approach to increase light-induced photocatalytic performance; one method is to use plasmonic nanostructures in core@shell geometry. The occurrence and mechanism of synergetic effects in photocatalysis of such geometries are under intense debate and proposed to occur either through light-induced charge transfer (CT) or through thermal effects. This study focuses on the relation between the dimensions of Ag@CeO2 nanocubes, the wavelength-dependent efficiency, and the mechanism of light-induced direct CT. A 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) linker between core and shell acts as a Raman probe for CT. For all Ag@CeO2 nanocubes, CT increases with decreasing excitation wavelength, with notable increase at and below 514 nm. This is fully explainable by CT from silver to the 4-MBA LUMO, with the increase for excitation wavelengths that exceed the Ag/4-MBA LUMO gap of 2.28 eV (543 nm). A second general trend observed is an increase in CT yield with ceria shell thickness, which is assigned to relaxation of the excited electron further into the ceria conduction band, potentially producing defects.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.

Vancomycin-conjugated polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles for molecular diagnostics of Gram-positive bacteria in whole blood.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis is caused mainly by infection in the blood with a broad range of bacterial species. It can be diagnosed by molecular diagnostics once compounds in the blood that interfere with molecular diagnostics are removed. However, this removal relies on ultracentrifugation. Immunomagnetic separation (IMS), which typically uses antibody-conjugated silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Ab-SiO2-MNPs), has been widely applied to isolate specific pathogens in various types of samples, such as food and environmental samples. However, its direct use in blood samples containing bacteria is limited due to the aggregation of SiO2-MNPs in the blood and inability to isolate multiple species of bacteria causing sepsis.ResultsIn this study, we report the synthesis of vancomycin-conjugated polydopamine-coated (van-PDA-MNPs) enabling preconcentration of multiple bacterial species from blood without aggregation. The presence of PDA and van on MNPs was verified using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy disruptive spectroscopy. Unlike van-SiO2-MNPs, van-PDA-MNPs did not aggregate in the blood. Van-PDA-MNPs were able to preconcentrate several species of Gram-positive bacteria in the blood, lowering the limit of detection (LOD) to 10 colony forming units/mL by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR). This is 10 times more sensitive than the LOD obtained by PCR and qPCR using van-SiO2-MNPs.ConclusionThese results suggest that PDA-MNPs can avoid aggregation in blood and be conjugated with receptors, thereby improving the sensitivity of molecular diagnostics of bacteria in blood samples.

Trace determination and characterization of ginsenosides in rat plasma through magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction based on core-shell polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles.

Project description:Enrichment of trace bioactive constituents and metabolites from complex biological samples is challenging. This study presented a one-pot synthesis of magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA NPs) with multiple recognition sites for the magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction (MDSPE) of ginsenosides from rat plasma treated with white ginseng. The extracted ginsenosides were characterized by combining an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometry with supplemental UNIFI libraries. Response surface methodology was statistically used to optimize the extraction procedure of the ginsenosides. The reusability of Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA NPs was also examined and the results showed that the recovery rate exceeded 80% after recycling 6 times. Furthermore, the proposed method showed greater enrichment efficiency and could rapidly determine and characterize 23 ginsenoside prototypes and metabolites from plasma. In comparison, conventional methanol method can only detect 8 ginsenosides from the same plasma samples. The proposed approach can provide methodological reference for the trace determination and characterization of different bioactive ingredients and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicines and food.

Polydopamine coated manganese oxide nanoparticles with ultrahigh relaxivity as nanotheranostic agents for magnetic resonance imaging guided synergetic chemo-/photothermal therapy.

Project description:Mn-based nanoparticles have been regarded as a new class of probes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but their low relaxivity is the major obstacle for applications in vivo. Herein, we designed and constructed a multifunctional nanotheranostic (FA-Mn3O4@PDA@PEG) for MRI guided combinatorial chemo-/photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer. The ultrahigh relaxivity of 14.47 mM-1 s-1 makes the nanotheranostic an excellent contrast agent for MRI in vitro and in vivo, and provides comprehensive information for tumor diagnosis. When irradiated with an 808 nm NIR laser, FA-Mn3O4@PDA@PEG exhibits a remarkably improved and synergistic therapeutic effect compared to PTT or chemotherapy alone, providing high therapeutic efficiency and low side effects of drugs. These findings are of great interest and will inspire us to develop highly effective MRI guided synergetic chemo-/photothermal therapy for cancer treatment.

Polydopamine-Coated Alginate Microgels: Process Optimization and In Vitro Validation.

Project description:In the last decade, alginate-based microgels have gained relevant interest as three-dimensional analogues of extracellular matrix, being able to support cell growth and functions. In this study, core-shell microgels were fabricated by self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) molecules under mild oxidation and in situ precipitation of polydopamine (PDA) onto alginate microbeads, processed by electro fluid dynamic atomization. Morphological (optical, SEM) and chemical analyses (ATR-FTIR, XPS) confirmed the presence of PDA macromolecules, distributed onto the microgel surface. Nanoindentation tests also indicated that the PDA coating can influence the biomechanical properties of the microgel surfaces-i.e., σmaxALG = 0.45 mN vs. σmaxALG@PDA = 0.30 mN-thus improving the interface with hMSCs as confirmed by in vitro tests; in particular, protein adsorption and viability tests show a significant increase in adhesion and cell proliferation, strictly related to the presence of PDA. Hence, we concluded that PDA coating contributes to the formation of a friendly interface able to efficiently support cells' activities. In this perspective, core-shell microgels may be suggested as a novel symmetric 3D model to study in vitro cell interactions.

Dopamine-Coated Carbon Nanodots: A Supramolecular Approach to Polydopamine Composite.

Project description:The development of biocompatible composites constituted by polydopamine and fluorescent carbon dots represents a promising way of exploiting the extraordinary adhesive properties of polydopamine for multi-purpose technologies. Here, a supramolecular complex is realized by the assembly of dopamine on the carbon dots surface, and the optical and structural properties are investigated by means of different spectroscopic techniques, from time-resolved fluorescence to Raman and NMR spectroscopies. The results suggest that the catechol unit of dopamine plays the main role in the formation of the supramolecular complex, in which carbon nanodot fluorescence emission is quenched by a photoinduced electron transfer process. The interaction with the nanodots' basic surface sites promotes the oxidation of dopamine and drives to its oligomerization/polymerization on the nanodot surface.

Polydopamine-coated bioactive glass for immunomodulation and odontogenesis in pulpitis.

Project description:Preserving vital pulp in cases of dental pulpitis is desired but remains challenging. Previous research has shown that bioactive glass (BG) possesses notable capabilities for odontogenic differentiation. However, the immunoregulatory potential of BG for inflamed pulp is still controversial, which is essential for preserving vital pulp in the context of pulpitis. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing polydopamine-coated BG (BG-PDA) which demonstrates the ability to alleviate inflammation and promote odontogenesis for vital pulp therapy. In vitro, BG-PDA has the potential to induce M2 polarization of macrophages, resulting in decreased intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, inhibition of pro-inflammatory factor, and enhancement of anti-inflammatory factor expression. Furthermore, BG-PDA can strengthen the mitochondrial function in macrophages and facilitate odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells. In a rat model of pulpitis, BG-PDA exhibits the capacity to promote M2 polarization of macrophages, alleviate inflammation, and facilitate dentin bridge formation. This study highlights the notable immunomodulatory and odontogenesis-inducing properties of BG-PDA for treating dental pulpitis, as evidenced by both in vitro and in vivo experiments. These results imply that BG-PDA could serve as a promising biomaterial for vital pulp therapy.
