Al(OH)3 facilitated synthesis of water-soluble, magnetic, radiolabelled and fluorescent hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic and fluorescent hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesised using Al(OH)3-stabilised MnFe2O4 or Fe3O4 nanoparticles as precursors. They were readily and efficiently radiolabelled with (18)F. Bisphosphonate polyethylene glycol polymers were utilised to endow the nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability in water and to incorporate cyclam for high affinity labelling with (64)Cu.

Surfactant-facilitated crystallisation of water-soluble foldamers.

Project description:X-ray crystallography has played a major role in the advancement of foldamer research, however, obtaining well-formed single crystals of suitable quality for structure determination by X-ray diffraction methods is often rather challenging. Towards this end, we report here the ability of common surfactants to promote the crystallisation of a series of water-soluble oligourea foldamers which had previously proven highly resistant to crystallisation. Four high-resolution crystal structures are reported, suggesting certain surfactants could be potentially useful tools for the crystallisation of intractable water-soluble foldamers (or peptides).

Ultrasmall, Water-Soluble Magnetite Nanoparticles with High Relaxivity for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Project description:Ultrasmall (3, 4, 5, and 6 nm), water-soluble Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized in diethylene glycol (DEG) via a facile one-pot reaction. Hydrodynamic size and relaxation time measurements did not show particle aggregation when Fe3O4 nanoparticles were dispersed in phosphate buffered saline, fetal bovine serum, or calf bovine serum for 1 week. Furthermore, the new Fe3O4 nanoparticles tolerated high salt concentrations (?1 M NaCl) and a wide pH range from 5 to 11. Surface modification of the nanoparticles with poly(ethylene glycol) bis(carboxymethyl) ether (HOOC-PEG-COOH, 600 g/mol) was accomplished through a ligand-exchange reaction. The effects of PEG modification on magnetization and relaxivity of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were investigated, and the results indicate that the increase in transverse relaxivity after PEG modification may be due to the increased volume of slowly diffusing water surrounding each nanoparticle. In vitro experiments showed that the DEG- and PEG-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles have little effect on NIH/3T3 cell viability.

Water Soluble Silicon Nanoparticles as a Fluorescent Probe for Highly Sensitive Detection of Rutin.

Project description:In this work, water-soluble fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) were prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method using 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyldimethoxymethylsilane (AEAPDMMS) as a silicon source and amidol as a reducing agent. The prepared SiNPs showed bright green fluorescence, excellent stability against photobleaching, salt tolerance, temperature stability, and good water solubility. Due to the internal filtration effect (IFE), rutin could selectively quench the fluorescence of the SiNPs. Based on such phenomena, a highly sensitive fluorescence method was established for rutin detection. The linear range and limit of detection (LOD) were 0.05-400 μM and 15.2 nM, respectively. This method was successfully applied to detect rutin in the samples of rutin tablets, Sophora japonica, fry Sophora japonica, and S. japonica carbon with satisfactory recovery.

Water-soluble, deep-red fluorescent squaraine rotaxanes.

Project description:Eight fluorescent squaraine rotaxanes with deep-red absorption/emission wavelengths were prepared and assessed for chemical stability and suitability as water-soluble, fluorescent tracers. The most stable squaraine rotaxanes have four large stopper groups attached to the ends of the encapsulated squaraine, and two members of this structural class have promise as highly fluorescent tracers with rapid renal clearance and very low tissue uptake in living mice.

Water-soluble Semiconducting Nanoparticles for Imaging.

Project description:Water-soluble semiconducting nanoparticles are prepared from individually collapsed and crosslinked ABA triblock copolymers and are further modified to carry imaging units and allyl functionalities for postmodification. Ethylene oxide modified polyfluorene forms the center block (B) and is transformed into a telechelic macroinitator. In a nitroxide mediated living free radical polymerization, polyacrylate blocks (A) are grown to give the ABA triblock copolymer. Low-temperature benzocyclobutene crosslinking groups are attached to collapse and site-isolate the center block (A). The nanoparticles were further modified by pegylation to enhance the solubility and by catechol groups to provide complexing sites for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reagents such as gadolinium. The reported materials are water-soluble and encompassing fluorescence and MRI to become biocompatible "organic quantum dots" with the possibility to interact actively with biological entities.

Chemoenzymatic syntheses of water-soluble lipid I fluorescent probes.

Project description:Peptidoglycan (PG) is unique to bacteria, and thus, the enzymes responsible for its biosynthesis are promising antibacterial drug targets. The membrane-embedded enzymes in PG remain significant challenges in studying their mechanisms due to the fact that preparations of suitable enzymatic substrates require time-consuming biological transformations or chemical synthesis. Lipid I (prenyl diphosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide) is an important PG biosynthesis intermediate to study the central enzymes, translocase I (MraY/MurX) and MurG. Lipid I isolated from nature contains the C50-or C55-prenyl unit that shows extremely poor water-solubility that renders studies of translocase I and MurG enzymes difficult. We have studied biological transformation of water soluble lipid I fluorescent probes using bacterial membrane fractions and purified MraY enzymes. In our investigation of the minimum structural requirements of the prenyl phosphates in MraY-catalyzed lipid I synthesis, we found that (2Z,6E)-farnesyl phosphate (C15-phosphate) can be recognized by E. coli MraY to generate the water-soluble lipid I fluorescent probes in high-yield. Under the optimized conditions, the same reaction was performed by using the purified MraY from Hydrogenivirga spp. to afford the lipid I analog with high-yield in a short reaction time.

On-Demand Chemomagnetic Modulation of Striatal Neurons Facilitated by Hybrid Magnetic Nanoparticles.

Project description:Minimally invasive manipulation of cell signaling is critical in basic neuroscience research and in developing therapies for neurological disorders. Here, we describe a wireless chemomagnetic neuromodulation platform for the on-demand control of primary striatal neurons that relies on nanoscale heating events. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are functionally coated with thermoresponsive poly (oligo (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) brushes loaded with dopamine. Dopamine loaded MNPs-POEGMA are co-cultured with primary striatal neurons. When alternating magnetinec fields (AMF) are applied, MNPs undergo hysteresis power loss and dissipate heat. The local heat produced by MNPs initiates a thermodynamic phase transition on POEGMA brushes resulting in polymer collapse and dopamine release. AMF-triggered dopamine release enhances the response of dopamine ion channels expressed on the cell membranes enhancing the activity of ~50% of striatal neurons subjected to the treatment. Chemomagnetic actuation on dopamine receptors is confirmed by blocking D1 and D2 receptors. The reversible thermodynamic phase transition of POEGMA brushes allow the on-demand release of dopamine in multiple microdoses. AMF-triggered dopamine release from MNPs-POEGMA causes no cell cytotoxicity nor promotes cell ROS production. This research represents a fundamental step forward for the chemomagnetic control of neural activity using hybrid magnetic nanomaterials with tailored physical properties.

Fluorescent water-soluble organic aerosols in the High Arctic atmosphere.

Project description:Organic aerosols are ubiquitous in the earth's atmosphere. They have been extensively studied in urban, rural and marine environments. However, little is known about the fluorescence properties of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) or their transport to and distribution in the polar regions. Here, we present evidence that fluorescent WSOC is a substantial component of High Arctic aerosols. The ratios of fluorescence intensity of protein-like peak to humic-like peak generally increased from dark winter to early summer, indicating an enhanced contribution of protein-like organics from the ocean to Arctic aerosols after the polar sunrise. Such a seasonal pattern is in agreement with an increase of stable carbon isotope ratios of total carbon (δCTC) from -26.8‰ to -22.5‰. Our results suggest that Arctic aerosols are derived from a combination of the long-range transport of terrestrial organics and local sea-to-air emission of marine organics, with an estimated contribution from the latter of 8.7-77% (mean 45%).

Fluorescent Magnetic Bioprobes by Surface Modification of Magnetite Nanoparticles.

Project description:Bimodal nanoprobes comprising both magnetic and optical functionalities have been prepared via a sequential two-step process. Firstly, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with well-defined cubic shape and an average dimension of 80 nm were produced by hydrolysis of iron sulfate and were then surface modified with silica shells by using the sol-gel method. The Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ particles were then functionalized with the fluorophore, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), mediated by assembled shells of the cationic polyelectrolyte, polyethyleneimine (PEI). The Fe₃O₄ functionalized particles were then preliminary evaluated as fluorescent and magnetic probes by performing studies in which neuroblast cells have been contacted with these nanomaterials.

Directed manipulation of membrane proteins by fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles.

Project description:The plasma membrane is the interface through which cells interact with their environment. Membrane proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and their function in this context is often linked to their specific location and dynamics within the membrane. However, few methods are available to manipulate membrane protein location at the single-molecule level. Here, we use fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) to track membrane molecules and to control their movement. FMNPs allow single-particle tracking (SPT) at 10?nm and 5?ms spatiotemporal resolution, and using a magnetic needle, we pull membrane components laterally with femtonewton-range forces. In this way, we drag membrane proteins over the surface of living cells. Doing so, we detect barriers which we could localize to the submembrane actin cytoskeleton by super-resolution microscopy. We present here a versatile approach to probe membrane processes in live cells via the magnetic control of membrane protein motion.
