Folate-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles (Synthesis, Characterization and Design for Cancer Cells Nanotechnology-based Targeting)
A new folate-conjugated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has been designed to selectively target the folate receptor that is overexpressed on the surface of tumoral cells. For this purpose, we made 4-aminothiophenol, as a bifunctional linker to react with HAuCl4 in the presence of sodium borohydride and it was binded to the AuNP surface through its thiol group. Then, we conjugated amino-terminated nano...
متن کاملTargeting folate receptor alpha for cancer treatment
Promising targeted treatments and immunotherapy strategies in oncology and advancements in our understanding of molecular pathways that underpin cancer development have reignited interest in the tumor-associated antigen Folate Receptor alpha (FRα). FRα is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein. Its overexpression in tumors such as ovarian, breast and lung cancers, low an...
متن کاملUtilizing the folate receptor for active targeting of cancer nanotherapeutics
The development of specialized nanoparticles for use in the detection and treatment of cancer is increasing. Methods are being proposed and tested that could target treatments more directly to cancer cells, which could lead to higher efficacy and reduced toxicity, possibly even eliminating the adverse effects of damage to the immune system and the loss of quick replicating cells. In this mini-r...
متن کاملRecruiting cytotoxic T cells to folate-receptor-positive cancer cells.
One new class of biologics that is generating a great deal of interest as next-generation cancer therapeutics are bispecific antibodies that simultaneously target the cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) protein and tumor-associated antigens to recruit cytotoxic T cells from the patient s own immune system to eliminate cancer cells. Examples include the first approved bispecific antibody in Europ...
متن کاملtargeting gastric cancer stem cells through developmental pathways: hypothesis
cancer stem cells (cscs) have been defined as a unique subpopulation in tumors, endowed with the capacity to initiate tumor progression, maintain self-renewal as well as metastatic potential. recently, more evidence strongly indicates the existence of cscs in solid tumors of wide variety of organs such as breast, brain and stomach. recent studies suggest that a special subpopulation of gastric ...
