ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted tremendous attention for their diverse biomedical applications involving tumor hyperthermia, drug controlled release and magnetic resonance angiography. The interaction between biomaterials and cells is the major part in the in vitro study, and the evaluation of cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles is indispensable for tumor hyperthermia and drug delivery.OBJECTIVE:
To review the progress of evaluation methodology of cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles.METHODS:
The articles about magnetic nanoparticles and cellular uptake were retrieved from PubMed, SCI and Embase databases published during January 2010 to June 2017 by the first author using computer. The Mesh terms were "magnetic nanoparticles", and the key words were "cellular uptake", "internalization" or "endocytosis". The logical operator between them was "AND". RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
Qualitative quantitative assessment methods for cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles include Prussian blue staining, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy,transmission electron microscopy. Quantitative assessment methods for cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles include inductively coupled plasma, magnetization measurements, colorimetry of Prussian blue staining. The development direction of the evaluation methodology is from qualitative to quantitative. As each method has its own merits and demerits, we should choose the right evaluation method based on the function and application of magnetic nanoparticles and then supply the right experimental basis for the biomedical application of magnetite nanoparticles.
