Targeted cell delivery is useful in a variety of biomedical applications. The goal of this protocol is to use superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) to label cells and thereby enable magnetic cell targeting approaches for a high degree of control over cell delivery and localization.
Entrega direccionada de células e agentes terapêuticos beneficiaria uma vasta gama de aplicações biomédicas, concentrando-se o efeito terapêutico no sítio alvo, enquanto minimizam os efeitos deletérios para locais fora do alvo. Segmentação célula magnética é uma técnica de entrega eficiente, segura e simples. Nanopartículas de óxido de ferro superparamagnético (spion) são biodegradáveis, biocompatíveis, e pode ser sujeita a endocitose nas células para as tornar sensível aos campos magnéticos. O processo de síntese envolve a criação de magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) nanopartículas seguido por emulsificação a alta velocidade para formar uma poli (ácido láctico-co-glicólico) revestimento (PLGA). Os SPIONs PLGA-magnetita são aproximadamente 120 nm de diâmetro incluindo a cerca de 10 nm núcleo de magnetita diâmetro. Quando colocado em meio de cultura, são naturalmente SPIONs endocitose pelas células e armazenadas como pequenos aglomerados dentro de endossomas citoplasmáticos. Estas partículas conferem massa magnético suficiente para as célulaspara permitir o direccionamento para dentro de campos magnéticos. Numerosos separação de células e aplicações de segmentação são ativadas por prestar diversos tipos de células que respondem a campos magnéticos. SPIONs ter uma variedade de outras aplicações biomédicas, incluindo também o uso como um agente de contraste para imagiologia médica, a entrega de drogas ou gene alvo, ensaios de diagnóstico e geração de hipertermia local para terapia de tumor ou tecido de solda.
Targeted delivery and capture of cells to specific sites within the body is desirable for a variety of biomedical applications. Delivery of neural stem cells to the brain by MRI-guided focused ultrasound has been proposed as a possible treatment option for neurodegenerative disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke1. Mesenchymal stem cells are being studied for their ability to deliver anti-cancer drugs to tumors due to their natural tumor-tropic properties2,3. Cardiac stem cells have been delivered to the heart as a possible treatment for myocardial infarction4,5. Vascular stents have been developed with CD34 antibodies to capture circulating progenitor cells6. While promising, these cell targeting approaches present drawbacks including lack of cell specificity, inconsistent cell retention, and off-target cell delivery.
The overall goal of the current method is to enable magnetically directed targeting of cells for a variety of cell delivery and sorting applications. Magnetic targeting allows for controlled delivery of specific cells to a specific target site with minimal off-target effects7. The magnetic fields can be generated by implanted or external devices to safely direct the movement of magnetically-labeled cells within the body8. Numerous research efforts have focused on magnetically directed targeting of stem cells to injured tissues such as the heart9-14, retina15, lung16, skin17, spinal cord18,19, bone20, liver21, and muscle22,23 in order to improve regeneration outcomes.
Magnetic targeting of cells has also been studied extensively as a means to endothelialize implantable cardiovascular devices. A uniform and complete endothelium provides a barrier between the device and circulating blood elements to mitigate thrombosis and inflammation. Endothelial cells can be delivered to the device either prior to implantation or via the vascular system following implantation. In both cases, magnetic fields are used to capture cells to the surface of the device and retain the cells when subjected to the shear stress generated by circulating blood. Magnetic vascular stents24-27 and vascular grafts28 have both been fabricated and tested for this purpose.
Magnetic cell targeting requires a strategy for labeling cells with magnetic carrier particles. These particles can be bound to the surface of cells via antibodies or ligand/receptor pairs or they can be endocytosed into the cells. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are biodegradable, biocompatible, and readily endocytosed by a variety of cell types29. These particles effectively render a cell responsive to magnetic fields and are naturally degraded over time. SPIONs provide a straightforward and safe means of magnetically labeling cells in culture for a variety of magnetic targeting and sorting applications. A method for synthesizing SPIONs with a magnetite (Fe3O4) core and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) shell is provided. In addition, a method for labeling cells in culture with SPIONs is provided.

Nanopartículas de magnetite são de aproximadamente 10 nm de diâmetro, como resultado da agitação de uma solução aquosa de ferro (III) e cloreto de ferro (II), cloreto de tetra-hidrato a 50 ° C e 1000 rpm (Figura 1). Estes resultados demonstram a síntese bem sucedida de nanopartículas de magnetite. É importante para verificar o tamanho e a forma de nanopartículas de magnetite tomadas a partir de uma pequena amostra do lote durante a tentativa para a síntese da primeira vez. A microscopia ele...
