水溶性有机溶剂对Fe3O4磁性纳米粒子过氧化物酶样活性的影响

采用化学共沉淀法合成10nm的Fe3O4磁性纳米粒子(MNPs)。以辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)为对照,研究了四氢呋喃、1,4-二氧六环、丙酮、N,N-二甲基酰胺、甲醇和二甲亚砜等6种水溶性有机溶剂对Fe3O4MNPs过氧化物酶样活性的影响。结果表明,在有机溶剂浓度(V/V)为30%～75%时,Fe3O4MNPs相对酶活力迅速下降至近于完全失活。在15%有机溶液中,Fe3O4MNPs的最适反应温度多为50oC,最适反应pH在3.6左右。经15%有机溶液处理后的水相反应酶活显示,Fe3O4MNPs表现出对有机溶剂较强的热稳定性和pH稳定性,且对75%有机溶液也具有良好的稳定性。以上多数性质均优于相同条件下的HRP组,表明Fe3O4MNPs是一种比HRP对水溶性有机溶剂更稳定的过氧化物酶。由于Fe3O4MNPs具有易制备、成本低、易于磁分离和可循环使用的特点,因此其具有替代HRP用于有机催化的应用潜力。

Magnetic nanoparticles with surface modification enhanced gene delivery of HVJ-E vector

To enter the realm of human gene therapy, a novel drug delivery system is required for efficient delivery of small molecules with high safety for clinical usage. We have developed a unique vector HVJ-E (hemagglutinating virus of Japan-envelope) that can rapidly transfer plasmid DNA, oligonucleotide, and protein into cells by cell-fusion. In this study, we associated HVJ-E with magnetic nanoparticles, which can potentially enhance its transfection efficiency in the presence of a magnetic force. Magnetic nanoparticles, such as maghemite, with an average size of 29 nm, can be regulated by a magnetic force and basically consist of oxidized Fe which is commonly used as a supplement for the treatment of anemia. A mixture of magnetite particles with protamine sulfate, which gives a cationic surface charge on the maghemite particles, significantly enhanced the transfection efficiency in an in vitro cell culture system based on HVJ-E technology, resulting in a reduction in the required titer of HVJ. Addition of magnetic nanoparticles would enhance the association of HVJ-E with the cell membrane with a magnetic force. However, maghemite particles surface-coated with heparin, but not protamine sulfate, enhanced the transfection efficiency in the analysis of direct injection into the mouse liver in an in vivo model. The size and surface chemistry of magnetic particles could be tailored accordingly to meet specific demands of physical and biological characteristics. Overall, magnetic nanoparticles with different surface modifications can enhance HVJ-E-based gene transfer by modification of the size or charge, which could potentially help to overcome fundamental limitations to gene therapy in vivo.     

Effect of colloidal β-cyclodextrins-Fe(3) O(4) magnetic nanoparticles on the chemiluminescence enhancement of luminol-Ag(III) complex for rapid and sensitive determination of cysteine in human serum

Colloidals solution of Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), capped with β‐cyclodextrins (β‐CD) as inclusion complexes, were found to enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of the luminol–diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) system. On injection of cysteine into the luminol–DPA–β‐CD–Fe₃O₄ MNPs inclusion complexes system, the CL intensity is strongly enhanced. The enhanced CL signal is ascribed to the catalytic effect of Fe₃O₄ MNPs capped with β‐CD, which is assumed to stabilize the CL intermediate. Based on these findings, a rapid and sensitive assay was developed for the determination of cysteine in human serum. The effects of analytical variables on the CL signal were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the CL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of cysteine in the range 8.0 × 10^–9–1.0 × 10^–6 mol/L. The detection limit was 2.8 × 10^–9 mol/L (3 S_b/m) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 replicate determinations of 1.0 × 10^–7 mol/L cysteine was 3.5%. The proposed method was applied to the sensitive determination of cysteine in human serum samples, and compared with the Ellman method with satisfactory results.

Fabrication of novel magnetic nanoparticles-coated P(styrene-itaconic acid-divinylbenzene) microspheres

In this paper, P(styrene-itaconic acid-divinylbenzene) microspheres (P(St-IA-DVB) microspheres) based on styrene (St), itaconic acid (IA) and divinylbenzene (DVB) were prepared via water-in-oil emulsions method (W/O) in the presence of emulsifiers with the size of 5-10 μm. The magnetic nanoparticles (i.e. Fe₃O₄) coated tightly on the surface of P(St-IA-DVB) microspheres were prepared in water with a continuous stirring. The morphology of blank microspheres and magnetic nanoparticles-coated microspheres was investigated in this work. In vitro drug release behavior was studied using doxorubicin as a model drug, and these magnetic nanoparticles-coated P(St-IA-DVB) (MNPSID) microspheres might have great potential application in magnetically targeted and thermal therapy.
