Synergistic Cytotoxic Effect of Gold Nanoparticles and 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy against Skin Cancer Cells
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In this study, the epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 and the normal fibroblasts were used to investigate whether gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can induce an increase in cell death during PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a photosensitizer.Methods: Human fibroblast an...
متن کاملGold Nanocage-Photosensitizer Conjugates for Dual-Modal Image-Guided Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy
We have demonstrated that gold nanocage-photosensitizer conjugates can enable dual image-guided delivery of photosensitizer and significantly improve the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in a murine model. The photosensitizer, 3-devinyl-3-(1'-hexyloxyethyl)pyropheophorbide (HPPH), was noncovalently entrapped in the poly(ethylene glycol) monolayer coated on the surface of gold nanocages. The con...
متن کاملGold nanocage assemblies for selective second harmonic generation imaging of cancer cell.
Second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging using near infrared laser light is the key to improving penetration depths, leading to biological understanding. Unfortunately, currently SHG imaging techniques have limited capability due to the poor signal-to-noise ratio, resulting from the low SHG efficiency of available dyes. Targeted tumor imaging over nontargeted tissues is also a challenge that ne...
متن کاملSV119-gold nanocage conjugates: a new platform for targeting cancer cells via sigma-2 receptors.
We have functionalized the surface of gold nanocages with SV119, a synthetic small molecule specific to sigma-2 receptors, and then demonstrated the capability of this new class of conjugates for targeting cancer cells.
متن کاملFabrication of Poly Caprolactone (PCL) Based Microspheres for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering Application
This paper reports the fabrication of poly (caprolactone) (PCL) based biodegradable microspheres using freeze-drying technique for drug delivery and tissue engineering application. Microspheres play an important role in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. The properties can determine the success or failure of the development of the materials. Biodegradable and biocompatible synth...
