The effects of AuNP incorporation and E2 incubation on the MCF-7 cell surface roughness were measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Endocytic vesicle formation was studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Finally, the results were confirmed by hyperspectral optical microscopy.Results: High-resolution AFM images of the surfaces of MCF-7 membranes (up to 250 nm2) were obtained. The incubation of cells for 12 hrs with AuNP and E2 increased the cell membrane roughness by 95% and 30% compared with the groups treated with vehicle (ethanol) or AuNPs only, respectively. This effect was blocked by an ER antagonist (7α,17β-[9-[(4,4,5,5,5-Pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl]nonyl]estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol [ICI] 182,780). Higher amounts of AuNPs were localized inside MCF-7 cells around the nucleus, even after 6 hrs of E2 incubation, compared with vehicle-treated cells. Endolysosome formation was induced by E2, which may be associated with an increase in AuNP-uptake.Conclusions: E2 enhances AuNP incorporation in MCF-7 cells by modulating of plasma membrane roughness and inducing lysosomal endocytosis. These findings provide new insights into combined nanotherapies and hormone therapies for breast cancer.Keywords: nanotherapy, hormone therapy, estrogen-induced vesicle formation, AuNP cellular uptake, membrane roughness, endocytosisLara-Cruz CJiménez-Salazar JEArteaga MArredondo MRamón-Gallegos EBatina NDamián-Matsumura PDove Medical PressarticleNanotherapyhormone therapyestrogen-induced vesicle formationAuNP cellular uptakemembrane roughnessendocytosisMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2705-2718 (2019)
