A/C magnetic hyperthermia of melanoma mediated by iron(0)/iron oxide core/shell magnetic nanoparticles: a mouse study

Abstract: BackgroundThere is renewed interest in magnetic hyperthermia as a treatment modality for cancer, especially when it is combined with other more traditional therapeutic approaches, such as the co-delivery of anticancer drugs or photodynamic therapy.MethodsThe influence of bimagnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) combined with short external alternating magnetic field (AMF) exposure on the growth of subcutaneous mouse melanomas (B16-F10) was evaluated. Bimagnetic Fe/Fe3O4 core/shell nanoparticles were designed for cancer… Show more

“…22,23 To evaluate the efficacy of hyperthermia mediated by Dex-LSMO nanoparticles, we selected murine melanoma (B16F1) cells as a cancer model, since this cancer is reported to be resistant to conventional treatment such as chemotherapy. 24 Before treatment with hyperthermia, it was important to confirm that the Dex-LSMO nanoparticles themselves do not damage cells. We therefore evaluated the cytotoxicity of Dex-LSMO nanoparticles alone in various cell lines.…”

“…Previous attempts to implement IV MNPs followed by AMF heating showed some efficacy but were not able to fully ablate tumors, as the required concentration was not reached in the tumors. [57][58][59] From calculations, test tube experiments, and in vitro cell hyperthermia, it appears that ∼0.1%-0.4% iron by weight is required for adequate heating in a tumor. 60,61 A barrier to this approach has been the toxicity of the MNPs at a level that achieves the required tumor loading after IV injection.…”

“…These results demonstrate that the antitumor effectiveness of magnetohyperthermia treatment can be associated with cell death in the target tissue and is consistent with the tumor regression observed in hamsters treated with this magnetic fluid composition and AMF. The treatment of tumors via magnetic heating has already demonstrated promising results in other tumors [16,[46][47][48][49].…”
