Functional Behavior and Gene Expression of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Loaded Primary Endothelial Cells for Targeting Vascular Stents

Abstract: Aim To assess functional competence and gene expression of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-loaded primary endothelial cells (ECs) as potential cell-based therapy vectors. Materials & methods A quantitative tube formation, nitric oxide and adhesion assays were conducted to assess functional potency of the MNP-loaded ECs. A quantitative real-time PCR was used to profile genes in both MNP-loaded at static conditions and in vitro targeted ECs. Results Functional behavior of MNP-loaded and unloaded cells was compar… Show more

“…This did not markedly affect cell functional competence, gene expression, intracellular organelles, or cell respiration. 44,45 The results from our previous study demonstrated the feasibility of magnetic guidance to target (model) ECs to stented rat carotids mediated by a uniform magnetic field. ECs administered into the left ventricular cavity via intracardiac injection were uniformly captured from systemic circulation onto the stent struts.…”

“…Therefore, the current therapeutic efficacy study was conducted using inbred Lewis rats and syngeneic primary aortic ECs isolated from closely related individuals. The syngeneic cells used in this study represented a highly pure culture of ECs (98% CD31 + , 90% Tie-2 + , and 4% α-SMA − (SMA = smooth muscle actin) per flow cytometry) 44 that were tolerated well by all the recipient animals. It is noteworthy that the internalization of polymeric MNPs used in this study to confer cells with magnetic responsiveness for achieving efficient targeting was accomplished by loading an individual cell on average with ∼25 pg of magnetite.…”

“…Typically this may be with an external magnet34 but increasingly magnetic implants are being developed, as in the orthopaedic field where insertion of magnetic scaffolds with or without permanent magnets can be used to aid healing of massive bone defects and chondro-osseous defects353637, or in vascular surgery where magnetic stents can aid targeting of magnetised endothelial cells38. The assimilation of magnetic nanoparticle synthesis into mammalian cells creates a real and compelling, cytocompatible, alternative to exogenous administration of SPIONs.…”

“…Biodegradable PLGA-magnetite SPIONs provided an effective and safe means for cell labeling at lower levels of iron loading. 27 PLGA is an FDA-approved polymer and has been used for over 30 years for intracellular drug delivery. [28][29][30][31] In vivo degradation is well documented and can be controlled by molecular weight, crystallinity, ratio of lactide:glycolide, and nanoparticle size.…”
