Este protocolo proporciona uma abordagem para a modificação química da VNPs e suas aplicações para a imagiologia de tumores in vivo. As técnicas de imagem de animais de fluorescência, quantificação de fluorescência, e imunohistoquímica aqui apresentadas são úteis para o estudo de biodistribuição e avaliar tumor homing. Estas técnicas proporcionam informação valiosa sobre o acesso das nanopartículas para o tumor, através do efeito EPR. Ao combinar os resultados dos vários métodos d...

viral nanoparticles for in vivo tumor imaging

O uso de nanomateriais tem o potencial de revolucionar a ciência de materiais e medicamentos. Actualmente, um número de diferentes nanopartículas estão a ser investigados para aplicações em imagiologia e terapia. Nanopartículas virais (VNPs) derivados de plantas pode ser considerada de auto-montagem bionanomaterials com tamanhos e formas definidas. Vírus de plantas em estudo em laboratório Steinmetz incluem partículas formadas por icosaédrica Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) e vírus do mosaico Brome (BMV), ambos os quais são de 30 nm de diâmetro. Também estamos a desenvolver estruturas em forma de bastonete e filamentosas derivados de vírus de plantas os seguintes: vírus do mosaico do tabaco (TMV), o qual forma hastes rígidas com as dimensões de 300 nm por 18 nm, e os vírus da batata X (PVX), que formam as partículas filamentosas 515 nm de comprimento e 13 nm de largura (o leitor é remetido para refs. 1 e 2 para mais informações sobre VNPs). <p class="jove_content"&gt; Do ponto de um cientista de materiais da vista, VNPs são blocos de construção atractivos por diversas razões: as partículas são monodispersas, podem ser produzidos com facilidade em larga escala in planta, são excepcionalmente estáveis ​​e biocompatíveis. Além disso, VNPs são &quot;unidades programáveis&quot;, que podem ser especificamente modificados usando a modificação genética ou métodos químicos bioconjugação 3. A estrutura de VNPs é conhecida a resolução atómica, e modificações podem ser efectuadas com uma precisão espacial ao nível atómico 4, um nível de controle que não pode ser conseguido usando os nanomateriais sintéticos com correntes estado-da-arte. Neste artigo, descreve a propagação de CPMV, PVX, TMV e BMV em Vigna ungiuculata e plantas Nicotiana benthamiana. Extracção e purificação de protocolos para cada VNP são dadas. Métodos para caracterização da purificada e VNPs quimicamente marcados encontram-se descritos. Neste estudo, nos concentramos em chrotulagem emical de VNPs com fluoróforos (por exemplo, Alexa Fluor 647) e polietileno glicol (PEG). Os corantes de rastreamento e facilitar a detecção dos VNPs 5-10, e PEG reduz a imunogenicidade das nanopartículas proteicas enquanto melhora sua farmacocinética 8,11. Demonstramos tumor homing de VNPs peguilado utilizando um rato modelo de xenoenxerto de tumor. Uma combinação de imagens de fluorescência de tecidos ex vivo utilizando Maestro Imaging System, a quantificação da fluorescência em tecidos homogeneizados, e microscopia confocal é utilizada para estudar a biodistribuição. VNPs são limpas por meio do sistema reticuloendotelial (RES); tumor homing de forma passiva, através da maior permeabilidade e efeito de retenção (EPR) 12. A nanotecnologia VNP é um poderoso plug-and-play tecnologia para imagem e tratar locais de doença in vivo. Estamos aprofundar VNPs para transportar cargas de drogas e porções de imagem clinicamente relevantes, bem como tecido-específicos para ligandosalvo receptores moleculares overexpressed em câncer e doenças cardiovasculares.
