Gold nanostars are a versatile plasmonic nanomaterial with many applications in bioanalysis. Their interactions with animal cells of three different cell lines are studied here at the molecular and ultrastructural level at an early stage of endolysosomal processing. Using the gold nanostars themselves as substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering, their protein corona and the molecules in the endolysosomal environment were characterized. Localization, morphology, and size of the nanostar aggregates in the endolysosomal compartment of the cells were probed by cryo soft-X-ray nanotomography. The processing of the nanostars by macrophages of cell line J774 differed greatly from that in the fibroblast cell line 3T3 and in the epithelial cell line HCT-116, and the structure and composition of the biomolecular corona was found to resemble that of spherical gold nanoparticles in the same cells. Data obtained with gold nanostars of varied morphology indicate that the biomolecular interactions at the surface in vivo are influenced by the spike length, with increased interaction with hydrophobic groups of proteins and lipids for longer spike lengths, and independent of the cell line. The results will support optimized nanostar synthesis and delivery for sensing, imaging, and theranostics.

AbstractPopulus spp. have long been used as model woody plant species for molecular biology research. However, tissues of poplar are often recalcitrant to experimental procedures for molecular studies. We generated a hormone autotrophic poplar suspension cell line from a hybrid of Populus alba × P. berolinensis ‘Yinzhong’, named Qu-2. Qu-2 cells are suitable as a model biological system for studying woody plants. Qu-2 cells have many advantages over suspension cell lines derived so far from any other woody plants. Qu-2 cells are very easy to cultivate and can grow on several common plant culture media without the addition of any plant hormone. They show exceptionally high growth rates, reaching an approximately 150-fold increase in biomass after one week of culturing. Another important unique characteristic of Qu-2 cells is that they can be cryopreserved and readily reactivated. Qu-2 cells are suitable for molecular manipulations such as protoplast production, transient transformation, and RNA-seq analysis. Therefore, Qu-2 cells have the great potential to be an excellent model cell line in tree molecular biological research, ranging from physiology to gene function. The Qu-2 cells will be made available to the plant community for research.
