제목 Image-Guided Prostate Tumor Therapy using Aptamer Functionalized TCL-SPION
초록 We report CG-rich duplex containing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) aptamer conjugated thermally cross-linked superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (TCL-SPION) as prostate cancer-specific nanotheranostic agents that are capable of prostate tumor detection in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and selective delivery of drugs to the tumor tissue, simultaneously. The prepared PSMA functionalized TCL-SPION via hybridization method (Apt-hybr-TCL-SPION) exhibited preferential binding towards target prostate cancer cells (LNCaP, PSMA+) in both in vitro and in vivo when analyzed by T2-weighted MRI. After Dox molecules loaded onto the Apt-hybr-TCL-SPIO, the resulting Dox@Apt-hybr-TCL-SPION showed selective drug delivery efficacy in the LNCaP xenograft mouse model. These results suggest that Dox@Apt-hybr-TCL-SPION has potential for use as novel prostate cancer-specific nanotheranostics.
