    High-Dose Exposure To Polymer-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Elicits Autophagy-Dependent Ferroptosis in Susceptible Cancer Cells
    (MDPI, 2023) Lomphithak, Thanpisit; Helvacıoğlu, Selin; Armenia, Ilaria; Keshavan, Sandeep; Ovejero, Jesus G.; Baldi, Giovanni; Ravagli, Costanza; Grazú, Valeria; Fadeel, Bengt
    Ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven cell death, has been extensively investigated in recent years, and several studies have suggested that the ferroptosis-inducing properties of iron-containing nanomaterials could be harnessed for cancer treatment. Here we evaluated the potential cytotoxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles, with and without cobalt functionalization (Fe2O3 and Fe2O3@Co-PEG), using an established, ferroptosis-sensitive fibrosarcoma cell line (HT1080) and a normal fibroblast cell line (BJ). In addition, we evaluated poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PEG-PLGA). Our results showed that all the nanoparticles tested were essentially non-cytotoxic at concentrations up to 100 mu g/mL. However, when the cells were exposed to higher concentrations (200-400 mu g/mL), cell death with features of ferroptosis was observed, and this was more pronounced for the Co-functionalized nanoparticles. Furthermore, evidence was provided that the cell death triggered by the nanoparticles was autophagy-dependent. Taken together, the exposure to high concentrations of polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles triggers ferroptosis in susceptible human cancer cells.

    Protoporphyrin Ix-Loaded Magnetoliposomes as a Potential Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy: Fabrication, Characterization and in Vitro Study
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Başoğlu, Harun; Bilgin, Mehmet Dinçer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is a well-known photosensitizer that has great potential for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, aggregation behavior of PpIX in neutral water makes it inappropriate for physiological studies. PpIX-loaded magnetoliposomes (MLs) were fabricated to increase PpIX biocompatibility. PpIX-loaded ML physical properties were characterized, and PpIX-loaded ML drug release behavior was investigated under the influence of an external magnetic field and heat. Toxicity and photodynamic effects of the complex were also examined using in vitro experiments with MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The magnetoliposomes were prepared with DPPC, DSPE-PEG2000 lipids and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The toxicity and in vitro photodynamic effects of the PpIX-loaded MLs at various concentrations were studied using the MCF-7 cell line.
