The entry of nanoparticles into cells has become a primary issue for effectively regulating the subsequent safety and performance of nanomaterials in vivo. Although the influence of nanomaterials on endocytosis has been extensively studied, reports on the influence of stem cells are rare.Moreover, the effect of nanomaterials on stem cells is also dependent upon the action mode. Unfortunately, the interaction between stem cells and assembled nanoparticles is often neglected. In this paper, we explore for the first time the uptake of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles by adipose-derived stem cells with different passage numbers. The results demonstrate that cellular viability decreases and cell senescence level increases with the extension of the passage number. We found the surface appearance of cellular membranes to become increasingly rough and uneven with increasing passage numbers. The iron content in the dissociative nanoparticles was also significantly reduced with increases in the passage number. However, we observed multiple-passaged stem cells cultured on assembled nanoparticles to have similarly low iron content levels. The mechanism may lie in the magnetic effect of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles resulting from the field-directed assembly. The results of this work will facilitate the understanding and translation of nanomaterials in the clinical application of stem cells.展开更多
