Targeting the tumor and its microenvironment by a dual-function decoy Met receptor.
Met, the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is activated in human cancer by both ligand-dependent and -independent mechanisms. We engineered a soluble Met receptor (decoy Met) that interferes with both HGF binding to Met and Met homodimerization. By lentiviral vector technology, we achieved local or systemic delivery of decoy Met in mice. We provide evidence that in vivo expression of...
متن کاملDual targeting of peroxisomal proteins
Cellular compartmentalization into organelles serves to separate biological processes within the environment of a single cell. While some metabolic reactions are specific to a single organelle, others occur in more than one cellular compartment. Specific targeting of proteins to compartments inside of eukaryotic cells is mediated by defined sequence motifs. To achieve multiple targeting to diff...
متن کاملDopamine-conjugated apoferritin protein nanocage for the dual-targeting delivery of epirubicin
Objective(s): Nanocarriers are drug delivery vehicles, which have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years, particularly in cancer treatment. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs using protein nanocages is considered to be an optimal approach to reducing drug side-effects and increasing the bioavailability of anticancer drugs. Epirubicin (EPR) is an active chemotherapeutic medica...
متن کاملDual-imaging enabled cancer-targeting nanoparticles.
The development of dual-imaging enabled cancer-targeting nanoparticles (DICT-NPs) is reported based on newly developed biodegradable photoluminescent polymers and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. DICT-NPs possess capabilities of dual-imaging (magnetic resonance imaging and optical imaging), magnetic targeting, and potentially selective targeting for cancer cells. The development of D...
متن کاملDual defensin strategy for targeting Enterococcus faecalis.
A leading cause of antibiotic-resistant hospital infection (1), Enterococcus faecalis, decorates its surface with proteins that contribute to its ability to colonize and survive. Several proteins, including Esp (2), aggregation substance (3), a collagen adhesin (4), and a pilin (5), correlate with a particular disease or exacerbate the course of infection in amodel system. In PNAS, Kandaswamy e...
