Sodium hyaluronate (HA) was associated with dopamine (DPA) and introduced as a coating for maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles obtained by the coprecipitation of iron(II) and iron(III) chlorides and oxidation with sodium hypochlorite. The effects of the DPA anchorage of HA on the gamma-Fe2O3 surface on the physicochemical properties of the resulting colloids were investigated.

Nanoparticles coated at three different DPA-HA/gamma-Fe2O3 and DPA/HA ratios were chosen for experiments with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human chondrocytes. The nanoparticles were internalized into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via endocytosis as confirmed by Prussian Blue staining.

The efficiency of mesenchymal stem cell labeling was analyzed. From among the investigated samples, efficient cell labeling was achieved by using DPA-HA-gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with DPA-HA/gamma-Fe2O3 = 0.45 (weight/weight) and DPA/HA = 0.038 (weight/weight) ratios.

The particles were used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging for the labeling and visualization of cells.
