Uptake Mechanism of Oppositely Charged Fluorescent Nanoparticles in HeLa Cells

Abstract: The endocytotic mechanisms involved in the uptake of charged polystyrene nanoparticles into HeLa cells were investigated. Uptake experiments were done in the presence or absence of drugs known to inhibit various factors in endocytosis. Independent of the particle charge, endocytosis is highly dependent on dynamin, F-actin, and tyrosine-specific protein kinases, which suggests a dynamin-dependent and lipid raft-dependent mechanism. However, cholesterol depletion did not hinder particle uptake. Regarding positiv… Show more

“…8,9 Previous studies have shown that the uptake of NPs by living cells is affected by NP properties such as size [10][11][12][13] and surface. [14][15][16] However, NPs dispersed in a biological fluid are rapidly covered by biomolecules, such as proteins and lipids, forming a biomolecular 'corona' that effectively screens the bare NP surface. [17][18][19][20][21][22] When cells are exposed to NPs it is therefore, in realistic circumstances, typically not the bare NP surface that interacts with the cell but the NP-biomolecular corona complex.…”

“…About 20 % of the endocytosis of positively charged particles is inhibited by chlorpromazine. 39 Clathrin-coated pits (Fig. 2C) only play a minor role in the uptake of positively charged NPs, and have no effect on the endocytosis of negatively charged NPs.…”

“…It was evaluated which endocytotic mechanisms are involved in the uptake of well-defined positively and negatively charged 100-nm fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles into HeLa cells. 83 To study the uptake mechanism, nanoparticles were incubated with HeLa cells in the presence or absence of drugs known to inhibit various factors in endocytosis. The amount of endocytosed particles was quantified using fluorescent particles (see below) by flow cytometry, and the intracellular localization was confirmed by confocal laser scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).…”

“…18 To investigate the uptake path in HeLa cells, positively and negatively charged PS nanoparticles of the same size were applied in combination with selective inhibitors for different uptake mechanisms. 83 Here, the different uptake mechanisms known so far (e.g., clathrin or caveolin mediated endocytosis, see Fig. 13) can be investigated.…”
