In this study, a multifunctional nanocomposite based on dextran and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles （SPIO） was prepared for drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）. Amphiphilic dextran was synthesized by grafting stearyl acid onto the carbohydrate backbone, and micelle was formed by the resulted amphiphilic dextran with low critical micelle concentration at 1.8 mg L^-1. Doxorubicin （DOX） and a cluster of the manganese-doped iron oxide nanoparticles （Mn-SPIO） nanocrystals were then coencapsulated successfully inside the core of dextran micelles, resulting in nanocomposites with diameter at about 100 nm. Cell culture experiments demonstrated the potential of these Mn-SPIO/DOX nanocomposites as an effective multifunctional nanoplat- lk）rm for the delivery of anticancer drug DOX with a loading content （DLC） of 16 %. Confocal laser scanning microscopy reveals that the Mn-SPIO/DOX had excellent internalization ability against MCF-7/Adr cells after 2-h labeling compared with flee DOX.HCI. Under a 3.0-T MRI scanner, Mn-SPIO/ DOX nanocomposite-labeled cells in gelatin phantom show much darker images than the control. Their transverse relaxation （T2） rate is also significantly higher than that of the control cells （33.9 versus 2.3 s^-1）. Our result offers an effective strategy to treat MCF-7/Adr at optimized low dosages with imaging capability.展开更多

Most of these theranostic formulations have used solid iron oxide nanoparticles （SIONPs） loaded with chemotherapeutics as nano-carrier formulation for both magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and cancer therapy. In this study, we applied the dopamine-plus-human serum albumin （HSA） method to modify hollow iron oxide nanoparticles （HIONPs） and encapsuated doxorubicin （DOX） within the hollow porous structure of the nano-carrier. The new delivery system can load more drug than solid iron oxide nanoparticles of the same core size using the same coating strategy. The HIONPs-DOX formulation also has a pH-dependent drug release behaviour. Compared with free DOX, the HIONPs-DOX were more effectively uptaken by the multidrug resistant OVCAR8- ADR cells and consequently more potent in killing drug resistant cancer cells. MRI phantom and cell studies also showed that the HIONPs-DOX can decrease the T2 MRI signal intensity and can be used as a MR/contrast agent while acting as a drug delivery vehicle. For the first time, the dual application of chemo drug transport and MR imaging using the HIONPs-DOX formulation was achieved against both DOX-sensitive and DOX-resistant cancer cells.展开更多
