RGD-Targeted Ultrasound Contrast Agent for Longitudinal Assessment of Hep-2 Tumor Angiogenesis In Vivo.
OBJECTIVE To prepare arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-targeted ultrasound contrast microbubbles (MBs) and explore the feasibility of their use in assessing dynamic changes in αvβ3 integrin expression in a murine model of tumor angiogenesis. METHODS RGD peptides were conjugated to the surfaces of microbubbles via biotin-avidin linkage. Microbubbles bearing RADfK peptides were prepared as contr...
متن کاملStructural spectroscopic analysis of tumor vasculature before and after contrast agent administration to mice
BACKGROUND Tumour vasculature is important in the delivery of nutrients and drugs. It is used as a target for some types of therapy and may be modulated as a secondary effect of other cancer treatments. Modeling the uptake of MR contrast agents is widely used to evaluate tumour blood vessels, both before and after treatment. Anti-vascular drugs such as combretastatin-A4 phosphate are sometimes ...
متن کاملAptamer-based Targeted Delivery of miRNA let-7d to Gastric Cancer Cells as a Novel Anti-Tumor Therapeutic Agent
miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new bombesin analogue labeled with 99mTc as potential targeted tumor scintigraphic agent
Background: Bombesin shows high affinity for Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptors which over expressed on the cell surfaces of several human tumors particularly in prostate and breast cancers. The aim of this study was labeling of designed analogue with99mTc via HYNIC and Tricine /EDDA and evaluation as potential targeted tumor scintigraphic agent. Materials and Methods: HYNIC-Bombesin wa...
متن کاملMultifunctional MIL-S─CUR@FC nanoparticles: a targeted theranostic agent for magnetic resonance imaging and tumor targeted delivery of curcumin
Introduction: Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted drug delivery systems, usually referred to as theranostic agents, are being developed to enable detection, site-specific treatment, and long-term monitoring. Materials and Methods: To elucidate the effects of coating on cellular uptake and biodistribution of n...
