In relation to anti-cancer therapeutics, Se in particular exhibits promising characteristics as potentially effective treatment alternatives due to its notoriety as a highly selective, drug-coordinating element. In addition to their competitive clinical resume, Se nanoparticles packaged as chalcogenides are believed to support anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal efforts. Though more is needed to understand the biological effect these materials play within the body, studies postulate that there is significant potential for Se based nanoalloys. Partnering Se with elemental neighbor Te, SexTel-x, these alloys function as target mediators. They are believed to sustain cell viability ARPE-19 cells while initiating apoptotic effects on MDA-MB-453 cancer cells, along with promoting the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity. Lastly, cellular integrity is maintained by the lack of DNA fragmentation within normal cells, further supporting the efforts of employing SexTel-x alloys as potential anti-cancer agents. Ultimately, this research will serve as fundamental currency marketing SexTel-x nanoalloys as synergistically compliant anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer therapeutic agents, priming the tone for treatment efficacy.","PeriodicalId":168486,"journal":{"name":"Colloidal Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications XIV","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127013743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An efficient method to perform intracellular delivery is the photoactivation of nanomaterials that bear releasable molecular cargo. However, potential in vivo applications of this method are limited by our ability to deliver nanomaterials and light in tissue. \u0000In this paper, we will present method to perform intracellular delivery of molecular cargo on live cells and tissue by using a reusable, needle-like optofluidic probe capable of penetrating soft tissue. The probe consists of a dual-core glass fiber, enabling simultaneous light and liquid delivery. First, we used the optofluidic probe to confine an intracellular delivery mixture, composed of 100 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and membrane-impermeable calcein, in the vicinity of cancer cells and mouse retinal explants. Secondly, we delivered nanosecond (ns) laser pulses (wavelength: 532 nm; duration: 5 ns; 30-90 mJ/cm2) using the same probe and without introducing a AuNP cells incubation step. \u0000We found that AuNP photo-activation caused localized and reversible disruption of the cell membrane, enabling calcein delivery into the cytoplasm. We measured 67% intracellular delivery efficacy and showed that the optofluidic probe can be used to treat cells with single-cell precision. \u0000The method presented here can facilitate in vivo treatments in soft tissue of small animals (e.g. brain, retina), such us nanomaterial-assisted neuro-stimulation, transfection and tumor elimination.","PeriodicalId":168486,"journal":{"name":"Colloidal Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications XIV","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129006965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
