Abstract
A near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered release method for nitric oxide (NO) was developed utilizing core/shell NaYF4: Tm/Yb/Ca@NaGdF4: Nd/Yb up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) bearing a mesoporous silica (mSiO2) shell loaded with the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP). To avoid overheating in biological samples, Nd3+was chosen as a sensitizer, Yb3+ions as the bridging sensitizer, and Tm3+ions as UV-emissive activator while co-doping with Ca2+was done to enhance the luminescence of the activator Tm3+. NO release from SNAP was triggered by an NIR-UV up-conversion process, initiated by 808 nm light absorbed by the Nd3+ions. NO release was confirmed by the Griess method. Under 808 nm irradiation, the viability of the liver cancer cell line HepG2 significantly decreased with increasing UCNPs@mSiO2-SNAP concentration. For a UCNPs@mSiO2-SNAP concentration of 200μg ml-1, the cell survival probability was 47%. These results demonstrate that UCNPs@mSiO2-SNAP can induce the release of apoptosis-inducing NO by NIR irradiation.
