Abstract:

Magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles(NPs) were first prepared through a solvothermal strategy, after that, selectively protected N-acetylglucosamine was modified on the surface of these NPs by “Click” chemistry, followed by sulfation to obtain a series of sulfated glycosylated Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs with core/shell structure and various sulfation patterns. The components and morphology of these nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM), respectively, before and after the modification. The effects of sulfated glycosyl groups on NPs-induced tumor cell apoptosis and protein signal regulation were studied. The results showed the prepared Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs were uniform and well-dispersed. After the sulfated glycosylation, the average size of NPs increased from 110—130 nm to about 160—180 nm. These NPs could efficiently internalize into tumor cells, regulate the protein expression level of the Bcl-2/Bax pathway, and then induce cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. The activity was highly related to different sulfation patterns of glycosyl groups on the surface of NPs.

Key words: Sulfated glycosyl group, Sulfation pattern, cell apoptosis, Bcl-2/Bax pathway, Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles
