ABSTRACTMnO nanoparticles were conjugated to single stranded DNA (ssDNA), Cytosin-phosphatidyl-Guanosin oligonucleotide (CpG ODN) to detect and activate Toll-like (TLR9) receptors in cells and to follow nanoparticle cellular trafficking by different means of imaging while at the same time serving as a drug carrier system. By virtue of their magnetic properties these nanoparticles may serve as vehicles for the transport of target molecules into cells, while the fluorescent target ligand allows optical detection simultaneously.x

Despite the interesting chemopreventive, antioxidant and antiangiogenic effects of the natural bioflavonoid genistein (GEN), its low aqueous solubility and bioavailability make it necessary to administer it using a suitable drug carrier system.

PLGA, poly (lactic-co-glycolic-acid), is a kind of biodegradable functional macromolecular organic compounds. PLGA, certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), possesses desirable features of biocompatibility, nontoxicity and no immune response, and is being widely applied to human clinical medical research. Because of its biodegradability, simple synthetic methods, controllability of degrading rate and desirable plasticity, PLGA was applied in large quantity into the carrier materials which is to control the release in recent years, gradually propelling PLGA microsphere controlled release system to be the most ideal drug-carrier system at present. As the carrier of drug and genes, PLGA is mainly researched on its features as the carrier, synthetic methods, different surface modification methods, and the applications on different drugs, genetic treatments and genetic vaccines.

In this paper, we prepared the nanoparticle drug carrier system between nanoparticles — chitosan and Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) for breast cancer cell inhibiting application. For this drug carrier system, chitosan acts as a carrier and EGCG as a drug. Which were systematically characterized and thoroughly evaluated in terms of their inhibition rate and biocompatibility. We also did a cell scratch test and the result indicated that the chitosan-EGCG nanoparticles have inhibitory effect on the growth of breast cancer cells. The inhibition rate could reach up to 21.91%. This work revealed that the modification of nanoparticles paved a way for specific biomedical applications.
