In this study, the endocytosis and the internalization mechanism of aminosilane-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles into human lung cancer cell line SPC-A1 was studied compared with human lung cell line WI-38 in vitro. The particle endocytosis behavior was studied by using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). It was found that aminosilane-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles could be greatly taken up by SPC-A1 human cancer cells (202 pg iron/cell) but not by WI-38 human lung cells (13 pg iron/cell). The particles could be retained in SPC-A1 cells over a number of generations in vitro. Different endocytosis was observed by TEM after SPC-A1 cells were treated with different temperature or with/without Cytochalasin B (Inhibitor of phagocytosis) at 37 degrees C. No nanoparticles were taken up by SPC-A1 after the endocytosis inhibited in low temperature. Restoring the endocytosis activity at 37 degrees C, the process of nanoparticles from coated pit to endosomes and lysosomes was observed by TEM. Endocytosis activity was effectively inhibited by the presence of Cytochalasin B at 37 degrees C, while a lot of nanoparticles were uptaken to the cytoplasm of SPC-A1 cells in the control group. Our results suggest that the process of endocytosis of aminosilane-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles can efficiently takes place in lung cancer cells and nanoparticles can be kept in cancer cells for generations. Phagocytosis may be involved in the internalization process of aminosilane-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles.

Objective: To evaluate the potential of magnetic hyperthermia using aminosilane-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in glioblastoma tumor model.
Methods: The aminosilane-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were analyzed as to their stability in aqueous medium and their heating potential through specific absorption rate, when submitted to magnetic hyperthermia with different frequencies and intensities of alternating magnetic field. In magnetic hyperthermia in vitro assays, the C6 cells cultured and transduced with luciferase were analyzed by bioluminescence in the absence/presence of alternating magnetic field, and also with and without aminosilane-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.

Hypothesis: Dual-modality imaging agents, such as radiolabeled iron oxide nanoparticles (IO-NPs), are promising candidates for cancer diagnosis and therapy. We developed and evaluated aminosilane coated Fe3O4 (10±2nm) as a tumor imaging agent in nuclear medicine through 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) functionalization. We evaluated this multimeric system of targeted (99m)Tc-labeled nanoparticles (NPs) conjugated with a new RGD derivate (cRGDfK-Orn3-CGG), characterized as NPs-RGD as a potential thermal therapy delivery vehicle.

This is a comparative study on the efficacy of differential cell apoptosis induced by three methods (intracellular hyperthermia, with water bath hyperthermia and extracellular hyperthermia) in human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1 cells in vitro. The effects of hyperthermia on cell apoptosis were determined by Transmission electron microscopy(TEM), agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry methods, respectively. The intracellular effect of particle heating was compared with that of water bath hyperthermia and extracellular hyperthermia; significant differences between these heating methods were detected, the rate of apoptosis being 36.
