| Popis: | Focused ultrasound (FU) is in demand for clinical cancer therapy, but the possible thermal injury to the normal peripheral tissues limits the usage of the ablative FU for tumors with a large size; therefore research efforts have been made to minimize the possible side effects induced by the FU treatment. Non-ablative focused ultrasound assisted chemotherapy could open a new avenue for the development of cancer therapy technology. Here, low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for controlled quick intracellular release of small molecules (Mw ≤ 1000 Da) without acute cell damage is demonstrated. The release is achieved by a composite poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)/poly-(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/SiO2 microcapsules which are highly sensitive to LIFU and can be effectively broken by weak cavitation effects. Most PAH/PSS/SiO2 capsules in B50 rat neuronal cells can be ruptured and release rhodamine B (Rh-B) into the cytosol within only 30 s of 0.75 W cm-2 LIFU treatment, as demonstrated by the CLSM results. While the same LIFU treatment shows no obvious damage to cells, as proved by the live/dead experiment, showing that 90% of cells remain alive. |
