Based on the reverse microemulsion technique, luminescent quantum dots doped core-shell nanoparticles have been prepared by employing silica as the shell and CdTe quantum dots as the core of the nanoparticles, which have an excellent solubility and dispersibility, especially amine and phosphonate groups have been modified on their surface synchronously. In comparison with CdTe quantum dots, these nanoparticles show superiority in chemical and photo-chemical stability. The quantum dots doped core-shell nanoparticles were successfully linked with lactobionic acid by amine group on it, which was used to recognize living liver cells.

In order to conduct the fundamental investigation of the effect of 5-FU on HNE1 cells,p33ING1 mRNA level in cellular total RNA was detected quantitatively based on MB assay.During the operation,the effects of 5-FU concentrations and treatment time in HNE1 cells and HNE1 cells transfected with p33ING1 were measured in vitro.The results were as follows: p33ING1 mRNA expression level in tumor cells was enhanced not only by the 5-FU concentration but also by lapse of time.The MTT results also proved that high expression of p33ING1 mRNA can increase cell’s sensitivity to chemical drug 5-FU.The detection method based on MB can be used to provide useful evidence quickly and quantitatively for gene expression and new chemical drugs development.
