Development of folate-conjugated polypyrrole nanoparticles incorporated with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots for targeted bioimaging and photothermal therapy
PPy nanoparticles are widely employed as PTT agents, because of their exceptional near-infrared absorption properties. Nonetheless, the efficacy of PTT with PPy nanoparticles is hindered by a challenge, specifically, a lack of precise targeting. In this study, a PTT imaging agent was developed by combining NCQDs having bright green fluorescent properties with PPy nanoparticles along with the masking of folic acid to overcome the challenge of targeting. The synthesized PPy:NCQDs:FA nanocomposite, characterized by extraordinary photothermal property, was utilized for imaging of folate receptor positive (FA+) MCF-7 cancer cells through the emission of green fluorescence by NCQDs incorporated within the nanocomposite. Additionally, these nanoparticles demonstrated a good level of cell viability, exceeding 82 %, even at a concentration of 600 μg mL−1. Even the in vivo toxicity inspection of the nanocomposite exemplified no observed acute toxicity at experimental dosages of 1 and 3 mg per kg body weight. By subjecting MCF-7 cells, inoculated with 100 μg mL−1 of nanocomposite, to NIR laser irradiation for 5 min, a significant decline in cell viability was witnessed, establishing the photothermal therapeutic potency of the nanocomposite. The death of cancer cells induced by nanocomposite was verified through MTT assay, imaging of cells by NCQDs alone, with nanocomposite, and by live/dead cell Calcein AM/PI staining assay. Quantification of induced apoptosis post-laser treatment is conducted through staining with Annexin V-FITC/PI. These findings establish potential use of PPy:NCQDs:FA nanocomposite as versatile theranostic agents, capable of targeted bioimaging and treatment for cancer cells exhibiting folate receptors.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
