Acute and Subacute Toxicity Study of Graphene-Based Tumor Cell Nucleus-Targeting Fluorescent Nanoprobes.

Abstract:

:Graphene-based tumor cell nuclear targeting fluorescent nanoprobes (GTTNs) were synthesized in our laboratory as a kind of nanomaterial and showed good performance for both in vivo and in vitro imaging. GTTNs directly cross the cell membrane and specifically target the tumor cell nucleus via a cell membrane permeability targeting (CMPT) mechanism, which takes advantage of the increased permeability of the tumor cell membranes. GTTNs with a CMPT mechanism achieve high targeting efficiency in tumor tissues. With the tumor cell nucleus-targeting characterization, the GTTN distinguishes tumor cells at the single-cell level and recognizes the tumor tissue interface in a very early stage and shows great potential in clinical applications. Toxicity studies are extremely critical for clinical applications. Therefore, we studied the acute and subacute toxicity of GTTNs using an in vivo method and examined the following experimental indicators: mouse body weight, organ coefficients, serum biochemical parameters, and histological changes. The results showed that there were no significant differences in any indicators between the experimental and control mice. We also used an in vitro method to study the cytotoxicity of GTTNs in GES-1 (gastric epithelial cell) cells. Surprisingly, the results demonstrated over 80% cell viability when the incubation time reached up to 72 h under a 200 mg/L concentration of GTTNs, which indicated that GTTNs had low cytotoxicity. GTTNs barely showed any acute or subacute toxicity or cytotoxicity in vivo and in vitro, respectively, which supports their use for clinical applications.
