Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia uses magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) to increase local temperature for ablation of cancer cells. The magnetic thermal capacity of MNPs not only depends on the intrinsic properties of MNPs but is also affected by the microenvironmental matrices surrounding the MNPs. In this study, the influence of agarose hydrogels and gelatin porous scaffolds on the magnetic thermal property and anticancer effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated with a comparison to free Fe3O4 NPs. Flower-like Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized and embedded in agarose hydrogels and gelatin porous scaffolds. Under AMF irradiation, the free Fe3O4 NPs had the best magnetic thermal properties and the most efficiently increased the local temperature to ablate breast cancer cells. However, the Fe3O4 NPs embedded in agarose hydrogels and gelatin porous scaffolds showed reduced magnetic-thermal conversion capacity, and the local temperature change was decreased in comparison to free Fe3O4 NPs during AMF irradiation. The gelatin porous scaffolds showed a higher inhibitory influence than the agarose hydrogels. The inhibitory effect of agarose hydrogels and gelatin porous scaffolds on magnetic-thermal conversion capacity resulted in a decreased anticancer ablation capacity to breast cancer cells during AMF irradiation. The Fe3O4 NP-embedded gelatin scaffolds showed the lowest anticancer effect. The results suggested that the matrices used to deliver MNPs could affect their performance, and appropriate matrices should be designed to maximize their therapeutic effect for biomedical applications.
期刊介绍：
Micro and Nanostructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of micro-structures and nano-structures in materials and their devices, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:
• Novel micro and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials (nanowires, nanodots, 2D materials ) and devices
• Synthetic heterostructures
• Plasmonics
• Micro and nano-defects in materials (semiconductor, metal and insulators)
• Surfaces and interfaces of thin films
In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
