- Abstract
- Uptake and intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles are tightly regulated by their interactions with cellular organelles and physiological microenvironment. Although the dynamic physicochemical reactions at the interface of nanoparticles and cells ultimately determine the intracellular distribution and fate, microscopic tracing and quantitative analysis of the nanoparticles have been hampered by the limited resolution associated with individual nanoparticle trafficking. Herein, we report spatiotemporal investigations on autophagic clearance of biodegradable iron oxide-silica core-shell nanoparticles in terms of intracellular trafficking and ionic dissolution at a single cell level using multimodal imaging systems. By combining transmission electron microscopy and
super-resolution confocal laser scanning microscopy with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, the complementary imaging analysis exclusively shows the intracellular uptake, endosomal fusion and biodegradative clearance, leading to identify the step-by-step endocytic transport pathway and utophagic degradation pathways. Tracing the intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles reveals that they are spontaneously transported from endosomes to lysosomes, and transiently stimulate autophagy while maintaining cell viability. While protecting iron oxide core, the silica shell is gradually degraded during endocytosis and autophagic clearance, resulting in ionic dissolution of iron oxide in acidic environment. Moreover, burst reduction of ferric ions by adding ascorbic acid readily triggers acute ferroptosis owing to rapid supplement of ferrous ions and Fenton reaction in cancer cells. The complementary imaging strategy provides insights into the design of biocompatible nanomedicines for cellular delivery and the degradative mechanisms beyond the intracellular fate.
