Radiosensitization of breast cancer cells using AS1411 aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles
Introduction: A main choice for cancer treatment is radiotherapy. But, the radiotherapy disadvantage is damages caused by radiation given to normal tissues/organs surrounding cancer. One way to avoid this is via increasing radiosensitization of cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have shown sensitizing effect on cancer cells by enhancing their absorbed dose. Unlike earlier ...
متن کاملaptamer-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles as targeted magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for breast cancer
early detection of breast cancer is the most effective way to improve the survival rate in women. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) offers high spatial resolution and good anatomic details, and its lower sensitivity can be improved by using targeted molecular imaging. in this study, as1411 aptamer was conjugated to fe3o4@au nanoparticles for specific targeting of 4t1 cells that overexpress nucle...
متن کاملAS1411-conjugated gold nanospheres and their potential for breast cancer therapy
AS1411 is a quadruplex-forming DNA oligonucleotide that functions as an aptamer to target nucleolin, a protein present on the surface of cancer cells. Clinical trials of AS1411 have indicated it is well tolerated with evidence of therapeutic activity, but improved pharmacology and potency may be required for optimal efficacy. In this report, we describe how conjugating AS1411 to 5 nm gold nanos...
متن کاملRGD-conjugated mesoporous silica-encapsulated gold nanorods enhance the sensitization of triple-negative breast cancer to megavoltage radiation therapy
Multifunctional nanoprobes have great potential as effective radiosensitizers and drug carriers. RGD-modified gold nanorods could increase the uptake of nanoparticles via receptor-mediated endocytosis in integrin alphaV beta3-overexpressing breast cancer cells, which could enhance the effects of radiation on tumor cells, leading to further radiosensitization. The purpose of our study was to dem...
