Core-Shell Structure Design of Hollow Mesoporous Silica Nanospheres Based on Thermo-Sensitive PNIPAM and pH-Responsive Catechol-Fe3+ Complex.

ABSTRACT: A kind of core-shell hybrid nanoparticle comprised of a hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMS) core and a copolymer shell bearing N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl) methacrylamide (DMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as responsive moieties was prepared. Moreover, the factors that could impact the surface morphology and hierarchical porous structure were discussed. In the presence of Fe3+, catechol-Fe3+ complexes were formed to achieve pH-responsive polymer shell, combining with thermal-sensitiveness of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). Doxorubicin (DOX) was applied as a model drug and the behaviors of its loading/release behaviors were investigated to prove the idea. The results exhibited a significant drug loading capacity of 8.6% and embed efficiency of 94.6% under 1 mg ml-1 DOX/PBS solution. In fact, the loading capacity of drug can be easily improved to as high as 28.0% by increasing the DOX concentration. The vitro cytotoxicity assay also indicated that the as-prepared nanoparticles have no significant cytotoxicity on RAW 264.7 cells. The in vitro experiment showed that the cumulative release of DOX was obviously dependent on the temperature and pH values. This pH/temperature-sensitive hollow mesoporous silica nanosphere is expected to have potential applications in controlled drug release.

Project description:Tunable glutathione (GSH)-sensitive hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSiO2 NPs) were developed using a structural difference-based selective etching strategy. These organosilica hollow nanoparticles contained disulfide linkages (S-S) in the outer shell which were degraded by GSH. The particles were compared with their nonGSH-sensitive tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) HMSiO2 counterparts in terms of their synthesis method, characterization, doxorubicin (DOX) release profile, and in vitro cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the particles indicated that the fabricated HMSiO2 NPs had an average diameter of 130?±?5?nm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that GSH-sensitive particles had approximately 5.3% more weight loss than TEOS HMSiO2 NPs. Zeta potential of these redox-responsive particles was -23?±?1?mV at pH?6 in deionized (DI) water. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm revealed that the surface area of the hollow mesoporous nanoreservoirs was roughly 446?±?6?m2?g-1 and the average diameter of the pores was 2.3?±?0.5?nm. TEM images suggest that the nanoparticles started to lose mass integrity from Day 1. The particles showed a high loading capacity for DOX (8.9?±?0.5%) as a model drug, due to the large voids existing in the hollow structures. Approximately 58% of the incorporated DOX released within 14?days in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH?6 and in the presence of 10?mM of GSH, mimicking intracellular tumor microenvironment while release from TEOS HMSiO2 NPs was only c.a. 18%. The uptake of these hollow nanospheres by MCF-7 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages was evaluated using TEM and confocal microscopy. The nanospheres were shown to accumulate in the endolysosomal compartments after incubation for 24?h with the maximum uptake of c.a. 2.1?±?0.3% and 5.2?±?0.4%, respectively. Cytotoxicity of the nanospheres was investigated using CCK-8 assay. Results indicate that intact hollow particles (both GSH-sensitive and TEOS HMSiO2 NPs) were nontoxic to MCF-7 cells after incubation for 24?h within the concentration range of 0-1000??g?ml-1. DOX-loaded GSH-sensitive nanospheres containing 6??g?ml-1 of DOX killed c.a. 51% of MCF-7 cells after 24?h while TEOS HMSiO2 NPs killed c.a. 20% with the difference being statistically significant. Finally, cytotoxicity data in RAW 264.7 macrophages and NIH 3?T3 fibroblasts shows that intact GSH-sensitive HMSiO2 NPs did not show any toxic effects on these cells with the concentrations equal or <125??g?ml-1.
