Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop co-encapsulation of quercetin (QCT) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) into methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-oligo(ɛ-caprolactone), mPEG750-b-OCL-Bz micelles (QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles) for inhibition of hepatitis B virus-transfected hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2.2.15) cell growth. QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles were prepared using film hydration method. They were spherical in shape with average size of 22-55 nm. The best QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles showed entrapment efficiency and loading capacity of QCT at 70% and 3.5%, respectively and of SPIONs at 15% and 0.8%, respectively. Transverse (T2) relaxivity of SPIONs was 137 mM-1s-1. SPIONs clusters present inside the core of QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles increased T2 relaxivity value (246 mM-1s-1) indicating the good magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitivity of QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles in comparison with SPIONs. QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles could be taken up by HepG2.2.15 cells and showed higher cytotoxicity than QCT. Further, these cells were arrested by QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles at the G0/G1 phase of cell cycle. QCT-SPIONs-loaded micelles accumulated in vicinity of NdFeB magnetic disc, resulting in the potent inhibition of cancer cell growth at the strong magnetic field strength. In conclusion, mPEG750-b-OCL-Bz micelles are a promising multi-functional vehicle for co-delivery of QCT and SPIONs for disease monitoring and therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma.
