Cyclic RGD Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Tumor Targeting
摘要:
Integrin alpha(v)beta(3) is an adhesion molecule involved in physiological and pathological angiogenesis as well as. tumor invasion and metastasis. Therefore, it is considered an important target for molecular imaging and delivery of therapeutics for cancer, and there is a strong interest in developing novel agents interacting with this protein. Nevertheless, the interaction of individual ligands is often still weak for efficient tumor targeting, and many research groups have synthesized multivalent displays in order to overcome this problem. Gold nanoparticles can be considered a smart platform for polyvalent presentation on account of their globular shape, tunable size, facile surface chemistry, and biocompatibility. Moreover, their unique physical properties render gold nanoparticles ideal candidates for tumor diagnosis and therapy. Here, we report the synthesis. and characterization Of gold nanoparticles functionalized with cRGD integrin ligand and their employment for targeting human cancer cells expressing alpha(v)beta(3) integrin.

Herein we demonstrate the ability to pattern Ag nanoparticle films of arbitrary geometry inside sealed PDMS/TiO2/glass microfluidic devices. The technique can be employed with aqueous solutions at room temperature under mild conditions. A 6 nm TiO2 film is first deposited onto a planar Pyrex or silica substrate, which is subsequently bonded to a PDMS mold. UV light is then exposed through the device to reduce Ag+ from an aqueous solution to create a monolayer-thick film of Ag nanoparticles. We demonstrate that this on-chip deposition method can be exploited in a parallel fashion to synthesize nanoparticles of varying size by independently controlling the solution conditions in each microchannel in which the film is formed. The film morphology was checked by atomic force microscopy, and the results showed that the size of the nanoparticles was sensitive to solution pH. Additionally, we illustrate the ability to biofunctionalize these films with ligands for protein capture. The results indicated that this could be done with good discrimination between addressed locations and background. The technique appears to be quite general, and films of Pd, Cu, and Au could also be patterned.

Synthetic asymmetrical systems, Janus particles and patchy particles, are capable of undergoing hierarchical assembly processes that mimic those of Nature, to serve as switchable devices, optical probes, phase-transfer catalysts, and multifunctional drug carriers, each of which benefits from opposing surface patterns that behave differently. Production of nanometer-sized Janus particles that are equipped with efficient chemistries remains a challenge. A robust Janus-faced polymer nanoparticle framework that presents two orthogonally click-reactive surface chemistries has been generated by a recyclable strategy that involves reactive functional group transfer by templating against gold nanoparticle substrates. This anisotropic functionalization approach is compatible with a wide range of soft materials, providing Janus nanoparticles for the construction of dual-functionalized devices by accurately controlling chemical functionality at the nanoscopic level.
