摘要
Green fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method and then modified into folic acid functionalized carbon dots (FA-CDs) and hyaluronic acid functionalized carbon dots (HA-CDs) with targeted function to study their application in breast cancer cells imaging. The microstructure of the CDs observed through TEM showed the CDs with a scale of 2.69 nm. FT-IR and XPS showed the changes of bonds and functional groups that confirmed the transformation of COOH and NH2 to amide bonds. FA-CDs and HA-CDs had good water solubility and cytocompatibility, which laid a foundation for their application in human breast cancer cells imaging. At the same time, FA-CDs and HA-CDs had strong fluorescence excitation, and the optimal emission wavelength was about 450 nm. In fluorescence imaging of cells, carbon dots had bright green fluorescence in both breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells) and normal cells (EC cells). After targeted endocytosis, FA-CDs and HA-CDs could emit bright green fluorescence in cancer cells but could not in normal cells, which proved that the synthesized FA-CDs and HA-CDs had targeting properties. FA-CDs and HA-CDs could be used to accurately identify breast cancer cells and normal cells as cancer diagnosis material, which had the potential application in early cancer diagnosis.
