摘要

Glyconanomaterials are of great interest for bio-imaging to understand biological processes, for instance metabolism, cell-cell or virus-cell interactions, gluconeogenesis, and cancer. Herein, we present a strategy for the biofunctionalization of fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) from continuous-flow reactor with carbohydrates. This flow reactor enables the reproducible synthesis of a large amount of QDs, with controlled surface functionalization. These QDs act as fluorescent biomarkers and as structural scaffolds for the presentation of glycoclusters to lectins, receptors and cells. Before the phase transfer into water takes place, the carbohydrates are covalently attached to an amphiphilic poly(isoprene)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copolymer (PI-b-PEG) using click-chemistry as previously described by us. These functionalized polymers are subsequently used for the encapsulation of the QDs under preservation of their unique optical properties in a continuous flow system. Binding of glycoconjugated QDs to the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa was characterized using confocal microscopy. Depending on the terminal group of the polymer (namely: D-maltose, D-glucose, carboxyl, and amine), the uptake of the functionalized QDs can be controlled and directed. Functionalization with maltose yields very high uptake in low incubation times and low concentrations. Although serum is known to inhibit the cellular response of artificial nanostructures, we observe reduced but significant cellular uptake of the maltose functionalized nanocontainers in serum containing media. This encapsulated materials have already been tested to be suitable for in vivo tumor targeting, due to their lack of toxicity as well as extraordinary stability. Though this method relies on highly reproducible continuous flow systems, which yield high amounts of well defined, functional, non-toxic and highly stable nanoparticles this method has extraordinary industrial, biological and medical relevance.
