제목 Theranostic approaches to cancer diagnosis and therapy using gas-generating nanoparticles
초록 Theragnosis is an emerging approach that can perform diagnosis and therapy simultaneously, and has shown great potential in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Polymeric nanoparticles typically can encapsulate anti-cancer drugs as well as imaging probes. The aim of this research is to fabricate gas-generating nanoparticles that can be delivered to the tumor site and provide cancer-specific ultrasound imaging and necrotic cell death by generating gas bubbles. Gas-generating nanoparticles containing calcium carbonate minerals were fabricated by a W/O/W double emulsion method, followed by chemical modification with RVG peptide to target neuroblastoma. Various characteristics such as size, morphology, gas generation, and cytotoxicity of gas-generating nanoparticles were investigated in vitro. Gas-generating nanoparticles were useful to acquire cancer-specific ultrasonic images and reduced the tumor size in a tumor-bearing mouse model after intravenous administration.
