چکیده
To establish an effective nonviral gene delivery and a corresponding imaging method for i.p.-disseminated tumors, various oligonucleotide-carrier complexes were synthesized, and their in vitro and in vivo properties were examined. The 20-mer multiamino-linked oligonucleotide (oligo), synthesized as antisense against the c-erbB-2 sequence, and the 3'-biotinylated form of the same oligonucleotide (oligo-Bt) were (111)In labeled through a diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid chelate. (111)In-oligo was mixed with generation 4 polyamidoamine dendrimer (G4) or with biotinylated G4 (G4-Bt), which are positively charged to form electrostatic complexes. (111)In-oligo/G4-Bt and (111)In-oligo-Bt were conjugated to avidin ((111)In-oligo/G4-Av and (111)In-oligo-Av, respectively). (111)In-oligo/G4, (111)In-oligo/G4-Av, (111)In-oligo-Av, and carrier-free (111)In-oligo (2.96 kBq/22.4-45.9 ng of oligo) were examined for internalization in vitro in human ovarian cancer cells (SHIN3). Biodistribution of (111)In-oligo-carrier complexes or (111)In-oligo was examined in normal (n = 4-7) or i.p. SHIN3 tumor-bearing (n = 6-10) mice 2-24 h after i.p. injection (74 kBq/125-300 ng). Scintigraphy of i.p. tumor-bearing and normal mice was performed at various times postinjection of (111)In-oligo-carrier complex or (111)In-oligo (1.85 MBq/2.2 ng). (111)In-oligo-carrier complexes bound to the tumor cells were internalized at a rate of 34-56% at 24 h. In vivo, G4, G4-Av, and Av significantly enhanced tumor delivery of (111)In-oligo [9.1, 14.5, and 24.4% of injected dose per g of tissue (ID/g) at 24 h; P < 0.05, < 0.01, and < 0.0001, respectively] compared with delivery without carrier (0.8% ID/g). Scintigrams of (111)In-oligo delivered to the i.p.-disseminated tumors by the carriers were successfully obtained. In conclusion, G4, G4-Av, and Av can effectively deliver (111)In-oligo to i.p.-disseminated tumors. (111)In-oligo-carrier complexes also have potential as tracers for imaging and monitoring of gene delivery.

Introduction: Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a nanotechnology-assisted cancer hyperthermia approach in which the interaction between laser light and plasmonic nanoparticles generates a localized heating for thermoablation of the tumor. Recent efforts in the area of PTT follow two important aims: (i) exploitation of targeting strategies for preferential accumulation of plasmonic ...

BACKGROUND Lectins (proteins that bind specific sugar molecules on glycoproteins and glycolipids) are expressed at various levels on the surface of tumor cells. Conjugation of cytotoxic agents to glycoproteins recognized by lectins could be useful in the treatment of tumors. Avidin (a highly glycosylated, positively charged protein found in egg white) contains terminal N-acetylglucosamine and m...
