Abstract
AbstractMesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are emerging as one of the most appealing candidates for gene carriers. Nevertheless, one major obstacle for their clinical application is the lack of efficient controlled release and gene delivery. In this study, a mesoporous silica‐modified gold nanorods (Au NRs) controlled release platform was synthesized. Then a thermosensitive copolymer was grafted to the surface of release platform, to impart the switching response of carrier under the photothermal of Au NRs. Fluorination were modified on the surface of MSN through a disulfide bond to achieve glutathione (GSH) response release and improve serum‐resistant ability. This gene carrier, with notable DNA condensation ability and negligible cytotoxicity, could be easily internalized into cells, enhanced green fluorescent protein expression in the presence of serum under laser irradiation. This work inspired us to solve the problem of traditional controllable sustained release and realize the performance of intracellular switch response to gene sustained release.
