Magnetic forces enable controlled drug delivery by disrupting endothelial cell-cell junctions

Abstract: The vascular endothelium presents a major transport barrier to drug delivery by only allowing selective extravasation of solutes and small molecules. Therefore, enhancing drug transport across the endothelial barrier has to rely on leaky vessels arising from disease states such as pathological angiogenesis and inflammatory response. Here we show that the permeability of vascular endothelium can be increased using an external magnetic field to temporarily disrupt endothelial adherens junctions through internali… Show more

“…Secondly, it was hypothesized that MNPSNPs are available in the implantation area. And thirdly, based on the results of previous in vitro and in vivo studies [26,53,54], an externally magnetized ferromagnetic implant material was supposed to be able to accumulate these nanoparticles at the implant surface in higher concentrations than the control. This would mean a safe use of MNPSNPs as future drug carrier system for implantassociated infection treatment.…”

“…This property was examined for a duration of up to 42 days. Secondly, it was hypothesized that the MNPSNPs were available in the implant area to a large extent due to PEG-surface with associated prolonged blood half-life, as well as enabled extravasation of MNPSNPs assuming comparably increased permeability as reported for similar but smaller nanoparticles in a study by Qiu et al [54]. Thirdly, based on our preliminary results, it was assumed that ferritic steel 1.4521 implants should attract significantly higher numbers of magnetic nanoparticles nanoparticles, this principle should enable reaching magnetizable implant surfaces at any time in any body region for a therapeutic reason.…”

“…The magnetic nanoparticles have been widely applied to in vivo use, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [1][2][3], magnetic-induced hyperthermia [4,5], switching cellular activity [6][7][8], or magnetically guided drug/gene delivery [9][10][11]. Among them, MRI is one of the key applications in which magnetic nanoparticles are used as contrast-enhancing agents for improving the sensitivity of MRI.…”

“…In addition, we identified punctuate connexin43 (Cx43) immunosignal, suggesting the development of gap junctions ( Figure S6b, Supporting Information). [18] We could also identify cellular orientation in the area surrounding the high-density cells that could be attributed to the mechanical forces applied in the center of the construct due to the high number of CMs in this area (Figure 3a,b). This is consistent with previous studies showing that magnetic force can modulate F-actin dynamics and alignment.…”
