Intracellular drug delivery by mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) carrying hydrophilic and hydrophobic fluorophores as model drug cargo is demonstrated on 2D cellular and 3D tumor organoid level. Two different MSN designs, chosen on the basis of the characteristics of the loaded cargo, were used: MSNs with a surface-grown poly(ethylene imine), PEI, coating only for hydrophobic cargo and MSNs with lipid bilayers covalently coupled to the PEI layer as a diffusion barrier for hydrophilic cargo. First, the effect of hydrophobicity corresponding to loading degree (hydrophobic cargo) as well as surface charge (hydrophilic cargo) on intracellular drug release was studied on the cellular level. All incorporated agents were able to release to varying degrees from the endosomes into the cytoplasm in a loading degree (hydrophobic) or surface charge (hydrophilic) dependent manner as detected by live cell imaging. When administered to organotypic 3D tumor models, the hydrophilic versus hydrophobic cargo-carrying MSNs showed remarkable differences in labeling efficiency, which in this case also corresponds to drug delivery efficacy in 3D. The obtained results could thus indicate design aspects to be taken into account for the development of efficacious intracellular drug delivery systems, especially in the translation from standard 2D culture to more biologically relevant organotypic 3D cultures.

In this research, several precursors were chosen to solve the drawbacks of using toxic and expensive chemicals in the synthesis of fibrous mesoporous silica particle via self-assembly process in microemulsion system. The synthesis of this emerging material normally is realized by using toxic cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) as common structure directing agent in conjunction with combined cyclohexane and n-pentanol as expensive solvent and co-solvent, respectively. Less toxic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) can be the replacement for CPB but the use of this surfactant may drastically reduce the surface area of the resulting product. Herein, we report that the use of CTAB with combined toluene and n-butanol as affordable solvents can be used to synthesize fibrous mesoporous silica particle with high surface area. The material was well characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption/ desorption, X-ray difraction (XRD)and thermal gravimetry (TG). This material might be applied in potential applications such as catalysis, drug delivery and adsorption. Moreover, it can be used as a hard-template for fabricating another novel fibrous materials.
