Abstract:

The laser induced cellular cytotoxicity of rich arginine peptide RRRRRRRR(R8) modified ferric oxide core gold shell nanoparticles(R8-Fe2O3@Au NP) was studied. Although R8-Fe2O3@Au NP has a low cytotoxicity, the viability of nanoparticles internalized HeLa cell can be decreased by laser irradiation. The experimental result indicates that the R8-Fe2O3@Au NPs have significant cellular phototoxicity under laser irradiation. In addition, the cellular phototoxicity of R8-Fe2O3@Au NPs is dependent on the wavelength of irradiation laser, and increased by the irradiating time and light intensity.

Key words: Fe2O3@Au nanoparticles, Peptide, Phototoxicity, Living cell
