Radiolabeled arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptides to image angiogenesis in swine model of hibernating myocardium.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to image angiogenesis produced by endomyocardial injection of phVEGF165 in a swine model of hibernating myocardium using [123I]Gluco-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) targeting the alphavbeta3 integrins. BACKGROUND A noninvasive test to monitor the efficacy of therapy inducing angiogenesis is needed. The interaction between extracellular matrix and endothelial cells ...
متن کاملPET/MRI dual-modality tumor imaging using arginine-glycine-aspartic (RGD)-conjugated radiolabeled iron oxide nanoparticles.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to develop a bifunctional iron oxide (IO) nanoparticle probe for PET and MRI scans of tumor integrin alphavbeta3 expression. METHODS Polyaspartic acid (PASP)-coated IO (PASP-IO) nanoparticles were synthesized using a coprecipitation method, and particle size and magnetic properties were measured. A phantom study was used to assess the efficacy of PASP-...
متن کاملArginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-peptide binds to both tumor and tumor-endothelial cells in vivo.
Targeting tumor cells or tumor vasculature by peptides is a promising strategy for delivering cytotoxic drugs for cancer therapy. The identification of efficient targeting peptides depends on the availability of informative methods for determining cellular binding specificities. Here, we have used fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) analysis in combination with an isopentane freezing met...
متن کاملFGF induces hypertrophy and angiogenesis in hibernating myocardium.
For several years there has been considerable interest in stimulating angiogenesis by a variety of growth factors, including the family of fibroblast growth factors (FGF). FGF-5 is a protooncogene known to stimulate cell growth and proliferation in multiple cell types, including cancer.1 The cardiac myocyte can also produce different isoforms of FGFs, eg, it has been shown that the expression o...
متن کاملSite-directed mutagenesis of the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid in vitronectin abolishes cell adhesion.
Vitronectin (VN), a major cell adhesion protein, is found in plasma and in the extracellular matrix. At least three distinct cell surface receptors for vitronectin belonging to the integrin superfamily have been identified in normal and neoplastic cells. Many cell adhesion ligands, including vitronectin, contain an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence mediating, in part, the ligand-receptor interaction. ...
