Abstract
This study aimed to develop a versatile aptamer-conjugated, photothermal responsive camptothecin (CPT)-loaded chitosan-bimetallic (Pd/Au) nanoparticles (Ap-CH-CPT-Pd/Au NPs) to enhance cytotoxicity in lung cancerous NCI-H446 and H1299 cells. The CH-CPT-Pd/Au NPs exhibited polydispersity with a diameter of 33.87 ± 2.23 nm. FTIR investigation revealed the presence of chitosan and camptothecin in chitosan-camptothecin-palladium/gold nanoparticles. The 2θ of CH-CPT-Pd/Au corresponded to chitosan and palladium/gold. The Ap-CH-CPT-Pd/Au NPs (180 μg/mL) subjected to near-infrared (NIR) treatment elevated the temperature to over 50 °C. The optimum CPT concentration was 0.075% in CH-CPT-Pd/Au, demonstrating a hydrodynamic diameter of 113.12 ± 16.78 nm, a drug loading efficiency (DLE) of 10.89 ± 0.53%, and a drug encapsulation efficiency (DEE) of 63.97 ± 4.21%. A CPT release rate of 7.23 ± 3.25% was recorded at pH = 5.4 after 74 h. In addition, NIR+Ap-CH-CPT-Pd/Au NPs exhibited negligible toxicity to red blood cells (RBCs). However, enhanced cytotoxicity in NCI-H446 and H1299 lung carcinoma cells is achieved through the induction of oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine publishes refereed papers providing significant progress in the application of biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs as medical or dental implants, prostheses and devices. Coverage spans a wide range of topics from basic science to clinical applications, around the theme of materials in medicine and dentistry. The central element is the development of synthetic and natural materials used in orthopaedic, maxillofacial, cardiovascular, neurological, ophthalmic and dental applications. Special biomedical topics include biomaterial synthesis and characterisation, biocompatibility studies, nanomedicine, tissue engineering constructs and cell substrates, regenerative medicine, computer modelling and other advanced experimental methodologies.
