PEG-coated gold nanoparticles attenuate β-adrenergic receptor-mediated cardiac hypertrophy
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used as a drug delivery vehicle, which can accumulate in the heart through blood circulation. Therefore, it is very important to understand the effect of AuNPs on the heart, especially under pathological conditions. In this study, we found that PEG-coated AuNPs attenuate β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR)-mediated acute cardiac hypertrophy and inflammation. Howev...
متن کاملReversible cardiac hypertrophy induced by PEG-coated gold nanoparticles in mice.
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are attracting more and more attention for their great potential value in biomedical application. Currently, no study has been reported on the chronic cardiac toxicity of GNPs after repeated administration. Here we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the chronic cardiac toxicity of GNPs to the heart. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) -coated GNPs at three different sizes...
متن کاملSize-dependent in vivo toxicity of PEG-coated gold nanoparticles
BACKGROUND Gold nanoparticle toxicity research is currently leading towards the in vivo experiment. Most toxicology data show that the surface chemistry and physical dimensions of gold nanoparticles play an important role in toxicity. Here, we present the in vivo toxicity of 5, 10, 30, and 60 nm PEG-coated gold nanoparticles in mice. METHODS Animal survival, weight, hematology, morphology, or...
متن کاملGlutathione-mediated release of Bodipy® from PEG cofunctionalized gold nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticles synthesized via sodium citrate reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl(4)) were functionalized with either various concentrations of thiol-terminated Bodipy(®) FL L-cystine (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 μg/mL) or Bodipy-poly(ethylene glycol) at concentrations of 0.5-18.75, 1.0-12.50, and 1.5-6.25 μg/mL to form a mixed monolayer of BODIPY-PEG. Thiol-terminated Bodipy, a fluorescing mol...
متن کاملMicrotubules modulate cardiomyocyte beta-adrenergic response in cardiac hypertrophy.
The role of microtubules in modulating cardiomyocyte beta-adrenergic response was investigated in rats with cardiac hypertrophy. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent stenosis of the abdominal aorta (hypertensive, HT) or sham operation (normotensive, NT). Echocardiography and isolated left ventricular cardiomyocyte dimensions demonstrated cardiac hypertrophy in the HT rats after 30 wk. Cardiomyocy...
