In the present study, we compared cytotoxicity and cell uptake of silica nanoparticles with four different surface coatings generated through layer-by-layer self-assembly. Rabbit mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) were labeled with silica nanoparticles of different coatings including poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), poly(anetholesulfonic acid, sodium salt) (PAS), and dextran sulfate. The MTT [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide] test was performed to quantify the cell biocompatibility. The cellular uptake of those silica nanoparticles was determined by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed that all examined silica nanoparticles were stable in aqueous phase with high monodispersity. Labeled rMSCs are unaffected in their viability, apoptosis, and differentiation capacities. The silica nanoparticle-coated synthetic polycations such as PEI or PAH have higher cell internalization than negatively charged polyelectrolytes. The ability to control cell uptake of different particles may have applications in cell labeling, cell separation, and other biomedical applications.

Nanostructured and electroactive hybrid films containing Microcrystalline Cellulose (MC) modified with the phosphate group (MCPO4) and polyaniline (PANI) were prepared using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly technique. In the preparation process of the films cellulose was dispersed in the solution of PANI and the film with PVS/PANI(MCPO4) structure was immobilized on ITO substrate. In order to investigate the influence of the phosphate group on the electrochemical behavior of the film, films were also prepared replacing the modified cellulose (MCPO4) by unmodified cellulose (MC), forming the PVS/PANI(MC) films. Subsequently, all films were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and the results showed the redox processes characteristic of PANI, but the presence of CMPO4 promotes an increase in the values of current density observed for the PVS/PANI(MCPO4) film when compared to the PVS/PANI(MC) film. This is probably due to a self-doping process of the polymer in the presence of phosphate groups.
