제목 Assessing the effect of surface chemistry on cellular uptake, trafficking, and degradation
초록 Nanoparticles have been attracting tremendous attention for drug delivery and bioimaging up to date. However, it remains questions how to optimally synthesize and chemically modify nanomaterials for in vivo applications. Here, we investigate the role of surface chemistry in mediating serum protein adsorption to the nanoparticles and their cellular uptake. To suppress protein adsorption or nonspecific bindings, researchers often functionalize the nanoparticle surface with the antifouling polyethylene glycol (PEG). The relative density of the serum proteins depends on the nanoparticle size and the PEG grafting density, and variations in serum protein adsorption is further correlated with the uptake mechanism and efficiency of nanoparticle. The study provides controllable manner of nanoparticle uptake by changing nanoparticle size and surface chemistry, and ultimately establishes principles for the rational design of clinically useful nanoparticle for translational uses of nanomedicine.
