Abstract

In this study, hybrid nanocubes composed of magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) and manganese dioxide (MnO2 ), coated with U-251 MG cell-derived membranes (CM-NCubes) are synthesized. The CM-NCubes demonstrate a concentration-dependent oxygen generation (up to 15%), and, for the first time in the literature, an intracellular increase of temperature (6 °C) due to the exothermic scavenging reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) is showed. Internalization studies demonstrate that the CM-NCubes are internalized much faster and at a higher extent by the homotypic U-251 MG cell line compared to other cerebral cell lines. The ability of the CM-NCubes to cross an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier is also assessed. The CM-NCubes show the ability to respond to a static magnet and to accumulate in cells even under flowing conditions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that 500 µg mL-1 of sorafenib-loaded or unloaded CM-NCubes are able to induce cell death by apoptosis in U-251 MG spheroids that are used as a tumor model, after their exposure to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). Finally, it is shown that the combination of sorafenib and AMF induces a higher enzymatic activity of caspase 3 and caspase 9, probably due to an increment in reactive oxygen...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
