Polymeric Micelle of A3B-Type Lactosome as a Vehicle for Targeting Meningeal Dissemination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polymeric micelle of the A₃B-type lactosome comprising (poly(sarcosine))₃-b-poly(l-lactic acid) was labeled with 111In. The 111In-labeled A₃B-type lactosome was administered to the model mice bearing meningeal dissemination and bone metastasis at mandible. With single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, the meningeal dissemination was identified successfully by 111In-labeled A₃B-type lactosome, which was superior to 201TlCl in regard of the imaging contrast. The 111In-labeled A₃B-type lactosome was also potential in imaging selectively of bone metastasis at mandible, whilst a nonspecific imaging of the whole bone was obtained by the SPECT imaging using 99mTc-HMDP. The polymeric micelle of the A₃B-type lactosome was therefore found to be effective as a vehicle of 111In to be targeted to meningeal dissemination and bone metastasis.

BACKGROUND Anticancer agents and operating procedures have been developed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, but their prognosis remains poor. It is necessary to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCC to improve its prognosis. Lactosome is a core-shell-type polymeric micelle, and enclosing labeling or anticancer agents into this micelle enables drug delivery. In t...

Polymeric micelles that are composed of synthetic polymers are generally size controllable and can be easily modified for various applications. Lactosomes (A3B-type) are biodegradable polymeric micelles composed of an amphipathic polymer, including three poly(sarcosine) blocks and a poly(l-lactic acid) block. Lactosomes accumulate in tumors in vivo through the enhanced permeability and retentio...
