▎ 摘 要
Aim: This study was to prepare the functionalized nano-graphene oxide (nano-GO) particles, and observe targeted fluorescence imaging and photothermy of U251 glioma cells under near infrared (NIR) exposure. Material and methods: The functionalized nano-GO-Tf-FITC particles were prepared and then were incubated with U251 glioma cells. Estimation of CCK8 cell activity was adopted for measurement of cytotoxicity. The effect of fluorescein imaging was detected by fluorescence microscope with anti-CD71-FITC as a control. Finally, we detected the killing efficacy with flow cytometry after an 808 nm NIR exposure. Results: Both nano-GO-Tf-FITC group and CD71-FITC group exhibited green-yellow fluorescence, while the control group without the target molecule nano-GO-FITC was negative. The nano-GO-Tf-FITC was incubated with U251 cells at 0.1 mg/ml, 1.0 mg/ml, 3.0 mg/ml and 5.0 mg/ml. After 48 h of incubation, the absorbance was 0.747 +/- 0.031, 0.732 +/- 0.043, 0.698 +/- 0.051 and 0.682 +/- 0.039, while the absorbance of control group is 0.759 +/- 0.052. There is no significant difference between the nano-GOFITC groups and control group. In addition, the apoptosis and death index of nano-GO-Tf-FITC group was significantly higher than that of nano-GO-FITC and blank control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The nano-GO-Tf-FITC particles with good biological compatibility and low cytotoxicity are successfully made, which have an observed effect of target imaging and photothermal therapy on glioma U251 cells.
