Questo protocollo fornisce un approccio per la modifica chimica di VNPs e delle loro applicazioni per imaging in vivo del tumore. Le tecniche di imaging di fluorescenza animale, quantificazione fluorescenza, l&#39;immunoistochimica e presentati in questa sede sono utili per lo studio di biodistribuzione e la valutazione del tumore homing. Queste tecniche forniscono informazioni importanti per quanto riguarda l&#39;accesso delle nanoparticelle al tumore attraverso l&#39;effetto EPR. Combinando i risultati dei va...

viral nanoparticles for in vivo tumor imaging

L&#39;uso di nanomateriali ha il potenziale per rivoluzionare scienza dei materiali e della medicina. Attualmente, un certo numero di differenti nanoparticelle sono stati studiati per applicazioni di imaging e terapia. Nanoparticelle virali (VNPs) derivati ​​da piante può essere considerata autoassemblati bionanomaterials con dimensioni e forme definite. Virus di piante in esame in laboratorio Steinmetz sono particelle formate icosaedrici dal virus del mosaico Cowpea (CPMV) e virus del mosaico Brome (BMV), entrambi i quali sono 30 nm di diametro. Stiamo anche sviluppando strutture a forma di bastoncello e filamentose derivati ​​dai virus delle piante seguenti: virus del mosaico del tabacco (TMV), che costituisce aste rigide con dimensioni di 300 nm da 18 nm, e Virus X della patata (PVX), che formano le particelle filamentose 515 nm di lunghezza e 13 nm in larghezza (si rimanda il lettore al refs. 1 e 2 per ulteriori informazioni sulla VNPs). <p class="jove_content"&gt; Dal punto uno scienziato dei materiali di vista, VNPs sono elementi interessanti per diversi motivi: le particelle sono monodisperse, può essere prodotta con facilità su larga scala in planta, sono eccezionalmente stabili e biocompatibili. Inoltre, VNPs sono &quot;programmabili&quot; unità, che possono essere specificamente progettati utilizzando modificazione genetica o metodi chimici bioconjugation 3. La struttura di VNPs è noto risoluzione atomica, e modifiche possono essere effettuate con precisione spaziale a livello atomico 4, un livello di controllo che non può essere raggiunto utilizzando nanomateriali di sintesi con le attuali state-of-the-art. In questo articolo, si descrive la propagazione di CPMV, PVX, TMV, e BMV a Vigna ungiuculata e piante di Nicotiana benthamiana. Protocolli di estrazione e purificazione di ogni VNP sono dati. Metodi per la caratterizzazione dei purificato e VNPs chimicamente etichettati sono descritti. In questo studio, ci concentriamo su chetichettatura emical di VNPs con fluorofori (es. Alexa Fluor 647) e polietilenglicole (PEG). I coloranti facilitare il monitoraggio e la rilevazione dei VNPs 5-10, e PEG riduce immunogenicità delle nanoparticelle proteici migliorando loro farmacocinetica 8,11. Dimostriamo tumore homing di VNPs pegilati utilizzando un modello di topo xenotrapianto del tumore. Una combinazione di imaging di fluorescenza di tessuti ex vivo utilizzando Maestro Imaging System, quantificazione fluorescenza nei tessuti omogeneizzati, e microscopia confocale viene utilizzato per studiare biodistribuzione. VNPs vengono cancellati tramite il sistema reticolo-endoteliale (RES); tumore homing avviene passivamente attraverso la permeabilità maggiore e ritenzione (EPR) effetto 12. La nanotecnologia VNP è un potente plug-and-play della tecnologia per l&#39;immagine e il trattamento di siti di malattia in vivo. Stiamo sviluppando ulteriormente VNPs portare carichi di droga e frazioni di imaging clinicamente rilevanti, così come tessuto-specifici ligandi dibersaglio i recettori molecolari sovraespresse nel cancro e malattie cardiovascolari.
