Targetable aptamer-conjugated gold nanorods for epithelial cancer therapy |
초록 |
Biomarker-specific photothermal nanoparticles that can efficiently sense the markers, which are overexpressed in distinguished adenocarcinomas, has attracted much interest in an aspect of efficacy increase of cancer treatment. In this study, we demonstrated a promising prospect of smart photothermal therapy agent employing anti-epidermal growth factor receptor aptamer (AptEGFR)-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG)layted gold nanorods (AptEGFR-PGNRs). And then, to assess the potential as biomarker-specific photothermal therapy agent of synthesized AptEGFR-PGNRs, the optical properties, biocompatibility, colloidal stability, binding affinity and epicellial cancer cell killing efficacy in vitro/in vivo under NIR laser irradiation were investigated. As a results, AptEGFR-PGNRs exhibit excellent tumor targeting ability and feasibility of effective photothermal ablation cancer therapy. |
