Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a fast developing alternative of traditional therapeutics, is showing great promise in antitumor treatment. Herein, novel photosensitizer (PS) Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were strategically designed as targeting drug with higher photocatalytic killing efficiency. The photokilling effect of Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ NPs on hepatoma carcinoma cells (HepG2) in different external magnetic fields was investigated under ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, changes of cell cycle, apoptosis rate and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of HepG2 cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The results indicated that Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ NPs have comparable photokilling efficiency to HepG2 cells under both visible and ultraviolet light. Moreover, Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ NPs have higher cell uptake efficiency than pure TiO₂, which made it possible to have higher selectivity and photocatalytic killing efficiency. The mechanism was that photocatalytic Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ NPs inhibit cancer cells by yielding reactive oxygen species (ROS). Then, Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ induced apoptosis, mediated by arresting cell cycle in G₀/G₁ phase, reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial depolarization.
