ABSTRACT
Aim:
To ascertain the impact of shape and surface modification of anisotropic nanoparticles on the toxicity and photothermal efficiency toward cancerous cell lines.Methods:
Gold nanobipyramids and nanostars surface modified with MUC1 aptamer were used in the current study to explore the toxicity and photothermal efficiency on MCF7 breast cancer cell lines via MTT assay.Results:
Surface functionalization with MUC1 aptamer showed significant reduction in % cytotoxicity and increase in % specific internalization of nanostructures into MCF7 cell lines. Further, the photothermal studies accomplished at IC50 concentration for 6 h of treatment and laser exposure for 15 min reported that aptamer-conjugated nanobipyramids were more effective and specific toward MCF7 cell lines than aptamer-conjugated nanostars.Conclusion:
This work establishes a platform for the development of tailored photoablation based gold nanostructures for in vivo studies.
