Title: | Intracellular localization and dynamics of Hypericin loaded PLLA nanocarriers by image correlation spectroscopy | Authors: | PENJWEINI, Rozhin DEVILLE, Sarah D'OLIESLAEGER, Lien Berden, Mandy AMELOOT, Marcel ETHIRAJAN, Anitha |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV | Source: | JOURNAL OF CONTROLLED RELEASE, 218, p. 82-93 | Abstract: | The study of cell-nanoparticle interactions is an important aspect for understanding drug delivery using nanocarriers. In this regard, advances in fluorescence based microscopy are useful for the investigation of temporal and spatial behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) within the intracellular environment. In this work, we focus on the delivery of the naturally-occurring hydrophobic photosensitizer Hypericin in human lung carcinoma A549 cells by using biodegradable poly L-lactic acid NPs. For the first time, Hypericin containing NPs are prepared by combining the miniemulsion technique with the solvent evaporation method. This approach yields an efficient loading of the NPs with Hypericin and allows for additional cargo molecules. To monitor the release of Hypercin from the NPs, an additional fluorescent lipophilic dye Coumarin-6 is incorporated in the NPs. Temporal and spatiotemporal image correlation spectroscopy is used to determine the fate of the NPs carrying the potential cargo. Both directed and non-directed motions are detected. By using image cross-correlation spectroscopy and specific fluorescent labeling of endosomes, lysosomes and mitochondria, the dynamics of the cargo loaded NPs in association with the organelles is studied.
