Monodispersed SPIONs (superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) co-coated with PEG and PEI polymers were prepared by an improved polyol method. To accomplish cancer-specific targeting properties, FA (folic acid) was then modified on the SPIONs via EDC/NHS method (FA-SPIONs).Doxorubicin (DOX) as an example anticancer drug was loaded within FA-SPIONs (DOX@FA-SPIONs), the DOX release rate of DOX@FA-SPIONs was much high in low pH PBS. The SPIONs, FA-SPIONs and DOX@FA-SPIONs with mean hydrodynamic diameters of 23, 40 and 67 nm, respectively, performed excellent colloidal stability in PBS. Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) study implicates that the DOX@FA-SPIONs target MCF-7 cells efficiently through the FA receptor-mediated endocytosis. DOX@FA-SPIONs were tested in nude mice with xenograft MCF-7 breast tumor though tail intravenous injection and were found inhibiting tumor growth more efficiently. The application of a magnetic field (MF) greatly improved the growth inhibiting efficiencies of DOX@FA-SPIONs on MCF-7 cells in vitro and on xenograft MCF-7 breast tumor of nude mice in vivo. The aggregation of SPIONs in tumor was monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the DOX@FA-SPIONs exhibited high r(2) relaxivity (81:77 mM(-1)S(-1)). Histology on liver, Lung, kidney and heart in mice showed no significant toxicity of DOX@ FA-SPIONs on mice organs after 35-day treatment The FA-SPIONs area high efficient drug delivery nanoplatform for advanced cancer theranostics.
