Abstract
The effects of fluorodeoxyglucose conjugated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (FDGMNP) on macrophages are presented using a yeast substrate. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) were synthesized by partially reducing FeCl3, then conjugated with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) after silication with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Silanated MMP nanoparticles were combined with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Fluorodeoxyglucose iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (FDGMNP) and its unconjugated control (MNP) were added (1mL) to the cells from the murine macrophage-like, Abelson murine leukemia virus transformed cell line RAW 264.7 (American Type Culture Collection number TIB-71) cell culture wells at different concentrations from 90-3.6 μg/mL. Cells were placed on the magnet plate for 30 min before incubating at 37°C, 5% CO2 overnight. MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide tetrazolium) assay was performed to measure cell viability. Our results demonstrate that iron based nanoparticles can be linked to macrophages (elements of the immune system that attack bacteria) without the function of the macrophages being affected, ie no detrimental effects to the macrophages were evident in these experiments. We conclude that neither FDGMNP nor MNP had a detrimental effect on macrophage function.
