Hybrid nanogels, composed of thermoresponsive polymers and superparamagnetic nanoparticles, are attractive nano carriers for biomedical applications, being able-as a polymer matrix to uptake and release high quantities of chemotherapeutic agents and-as magnetic nanoparticles-to be heated when exposed to an alternative magnetic field (AMF), better known as magnetic hyperthermia. Herein, biocompatible, pH-responsive, magneto responsive, and thermoresponsive nanogels, based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate monomers and a methacrylic acid comonomer were prepared by conventional precipitation radical copolymerization in water, post-assembled by complexation with iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3), and loaded with an anticancer drug (doxorubicin, DOX), for remotely controlled drug release by a hot spot, as an athermal magnetic hyperthermia strategy against cancer. These nanogels, denoted MagNanoGels, with a hydrodynamic diameter from 328 to 460 mn, as a function of the MNP content, have a swelling-deswelling behavior at their volume phase temperature transition around 47 degrees C in a physiological medium (pH 7.5), which is above the human body temperature (37 degrees C). Applying an alternative magnetic field increases the release of DOX by 2-fold, while no macroscopic heating was recorded. This enhanced drug release is due to a shrinking of the polymer network by local heating, as illustrated by the MagNanoGel size decrease under an AMF. In cancer cells, not only do the DOX MagNanoGels internalize DOX more efficiently than free DOX, but also DOX intracellular release can be remotely triggered under an AMF, in athermal conditions, thus enhancing DOX cytotoxicity.
