We investigated the biotransformation of very small superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (VSOP) in atherosclerotic LDLR-/- mice. Transmission electron microscopy revealed an uptake of VSOP not only by macrophages but also by endothelial cells in liver, spleen, and atherosclerotic lesions and their accumulation in the lysosomal compartment. Using magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS), we show that the majority of VSOP's superparamagnetic iron was degraded within 28 days. MPS spectrum shape indicated changes in the magnetic properties of VSOP during the biodegradation process. Experiments with primary murine bone marrow derived macrophages, primary murine liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and primary human aortic endothelial cells demonstrated that loading with VSOP induced a differential response of cellular iron homeostasis mechanisms with increased levels of ferritin and iron transport proteins in macrophages and increased levels of ferritin in endothelial cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D011973 Receptors, LDL Receptors on the plasma membrane of nonhepatic cells that specifically bind LDL. The receptors are localized in specialized regions called coated pits. Hypercholesteremia is caused by an allelic genetic defect of three types: 1, receptors do not bind to LDL; 2, there is reduced binding of LDL; and 3, there is normal binding but no internalization of LDL. In consequence, entry of cholesterol esters into the cell is impaired and the intracellular feedback by cholesterol on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is lacking.

D005293 Ferritins Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
