Effect of Gold Nanorod Surface Chemistry on Cellular Response

Gold nanorods (GNRs) stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and GNR functionalized via a ligand exchange method with either thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG5000) or mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA) were investigated for their stability in biological media and subsequent toxicologica...

description Gold nanorods (GNRs) stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and GNR functionalized via a ligand exchange method with either thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG5000) or mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA) were investigated for their stability in biological media and subsequent toxicological effects to HaCaT cells. GNR-PEG and GNR-MHDA exhibited minimal effects on cell proliferation, whereas GNR-CTAB reduced cell proliferation significantly due to the inherent toxicity of the cationic surfactant to cells. Cell uptake studies indicated relatively low uptake for GNR-PEG and high uptake for GNR-MHDA. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that GNR-PEG induced less significant and unique changes in the transcription levels of 84 genes related to stress and toxicity compared to GNR-MHDA. The results demonstrate that, although cell proliferation was not affected by both particles, there is a significant difference in gene expression in GNR-MHDA exposed cells, suggesting long-term implications for chronic exposure.
