The amphiphilic diblock copolymers poly(e-caprolaetone)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PCL-b-PEO) with different functional groups at the end of hydrophilic block were synthesized. The functional groups endue the micelles with different charges on the surfaces. The cellular uptake of micelles to T-24 cells (human bladder tumor cells), HepG2 cells (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line) and Hela cells (human epithelial cervical cancer cells) was studied by means of flow cytometer and confbcal laser scanning microscopy. The results indicate that the surface charges showed great influence on zeta potential of micelles at different pH values. The in vitro cellular uptake efficiency of micelles with different charged surfaces demonstrated different cellular uptake patterns to three kinds of cancer cells.展开更多
