NRs coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide were ligand exchanged with polyoxyethylene[10]cetyl ether, oligofectamine, and phosphatidylserine (PS). Protein coronas from equine serum (ES) were formed on these NR-ALs, and their colloidal stability, as well as cell uptake, proliferation, oxidative stress, and gene expression, were examined. We find that the protein corona that forms and its colloidal stability are affected by AL type and that the cellular response to these NR-AL-coronas (NR-AL-ES) is both ligand and corona dependent. We also find that the presence of common cell culture supplement penicillin\/streptomycin can impact the colloidal stability and cellular response of NR-AL and NR-AL-ES, showing that the cell response is not necessarily inert to pen\/strep when in the presence of nanoparticles. Although the protein corona is what the cells see, the underlying surface ligands evidently play an important role in shaping and defining the physical characteristics of the corona, which ultimately impacts the cellular response. Further, the results of this study suggest that the cellular behavior toward NR-AL is mediated by not only the type of AL and the protein corona it forms but also its resulting colloidal stability and interaction with cell culture supplements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/nn5002886","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,23]],"date-time":"2014-04-23T09:30:17Z","timestamp":1398245417000},"page":"4608-4620","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Protein Coronas on Gold Nanorods Passivated with Amphiphilic Ligands Affect Cytotoxicity and Cellular Response to Penicillin\/Streptomycin"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"James Chen Yong","family":"Kah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology , , 77 Massachusetts Avenue , , ,","place":["Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, 02139"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christin","family":"Grabinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Force Research Laboratory , , Wright-Patterson AFB , , ,","place":["Dayton, Ohio, United States, 45433"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Untener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Force Research Laboratory , , Wright-Patterson AFB , , ,","place":["Dayton, Ohio, United States, 45433"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"Garrett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Force Research Laboratory , , Wright-Patterson AFB , , ,","place":["Dayton, Ohio, United States, 45433"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology , , 77 Massachusetts Avenue , , ,","place":["Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, 02139"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology , , 77 Massachusetts Avenue , , ,","place":["Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, 02139"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saber M.","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Force Research Laboratory , , Wright-Patterson AFB , , ,","place":["Dayton, Ohio, United States, 45433"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimberly","family":"Hamad-Schifferli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology , , 77 Massachusetts Avenue , , ,","place":["Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, 02139"]},{"name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology , , 77 Massachusetts Avenue , , ,","place":["Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, 02139"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081808111088800_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14265","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0805135105","article-title":"Nanoparticle Size and Surface Properties Determine the Protein Corona with Possible Implications for Biological Impacts","volume":"105","author":"Lundqvist","year":"2008","journal-title":"Proc.
