Abstract

The translocation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) across MCF7 breast cancer cells was demonstrated with radioisotope labeling. Hybrids of SWNT-RNA polymer poly(rU) were formed through a nonspecific binding mechanism which could allow for the dissociation of the poly(rU) from the SWNTs upon delivery. The cellular uptake of the hybrids was examined by confocal fluorescence microscopy. Through cell growth and MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assays, we showed the negligible cytotoxicity of SWNTs (up to 0.5 mg/mL) to MCF7 cells.
