We found that cells exposed to hypoosmotic pressures can internalize substantial quantities of gold nanoparticles. Importantly, these nanoparticles can circumvent normal intracellular traffic and be transported directly into the cytosol, without the need for surface functionalization. In contrast, nanoparticles endocytosed at physiological osmolality are segregated inside endocytic organelles and are not able to reach the cytosol. Cytosolic internalization was observed for nanoparticles of various sizes and materials, with minimal short- or long-term damage induced by the internalized particles. Thus, our strategy can be used as a delivery platform for a range of applications from therapeutics to medical imaging. As examples, we demonstrated rapid delivery of membrane-impermeable molecules to the cytosol by using nanoparticles as carriers and the use of nanoparticles assembled within the cytosol as plasmonic nanoantenna to enhance intracellular fluorescence. We propose a model for the mechanisms behind nanoparticle internalization through pressurized plasma membranes via the release of lateral pressures. Such characterizations may constitute a foundation for developing new technologies, including nanoparticle-based drug delivery. ? 2016 American Chemical Society. |
