Este protocolo proporciona un método para la modificación química de VNPs y sus aplicaciones para la formación de imágenes de tumores in vivo. Las técnicas de formación de imágenes de fluorescencia de animales, la cuantificación de fluorescencia, y la inmunohistoquímica presentados aquí son útiles para el estudio de biodistribución y la evaluación de tumor homing. Estas técnicas proporcionan información valiosa con respecto al acceso de las nanopartículas en el tumor por el efecto EPR....

viral nanoparticles for in vivo tumor imaging

El uso de nanomateriales tiene el potencial de revolucionar la medicina y ciencia de los materiales. Actualmente, un número de diferentes nanopartículas están siendo investigados para aplicaciones en la formación de imágenes y terapia. Nanopartículas virales (VNPs) derivados de plantas pueden ser considerados como auto-ensambladas bionanomaterials con tamaños definidos y formas. Los virus de plantas bajo investigación en el laboratorio de Steinmetz incluyen partículas icosaédricas formadas por virus del mosaico del caupí (CPMV) y el virus del mosaico de Brome (BMV), ambos de los cuales son 30 nm de diámetro. También estamos desarrollando estructuras en forma de varilla y filamentosas derivados de los virus de las plantas siguientes: virus del mosaico del tabaco (TMV), que forma varillas rígidas con unas dimensiones de 300 nm por 18 nm, y Potato virus X (PVX), que forman partículas filamentosas 515 nm de longitud y 13 nm de ancho (se remite al lector a las refs. 1 y 2 para obtener más información sobre VNPs). <p class="jove_content"&gt; Desde el punto de un científico de materiales de vista, VNPs son bloques de construcción atractivos por varias razones: las partículas son monodispersas, se puede producir con facilidad a gran escala en planta, son excepcionalmente estables, y biocompatible. También, VNPs son &quot;programables&quot; unidades, que pueden ser específicamente diseñados mediante modificación genética o métodos químicos bioconjugación 3. La estructura de VNPs se conoce a resolución atómica, y modificaciones pueden llevarse a cabo con precisión espacial a nivel atómico 4, un nivel de control que no se puede lograr utilizando nanomateriales sintéticos con estado actual de la técnica de las tecnologías. En este trabajo se describe la propagación de CPMV, PVX, TMV, y la BMV en Vigna ungiuculata y plantas de Nicotiana benthamiana. Protocolos de extracción y purificación para cada VNP se dan. Métodos para la caracterización de purificado y VNPs químicamente marcados se describen. En este estudio, nos centramos en chetiquetado emical de VNPs con fluoróforos (por ejemplo, Alexa Fluor 647) y polietilenglicol (PEG). Los colorantes de facilitar el seguimiento y la detección de los VNPs 5-10, y PEG reduce la inmunogenicidad de las nanopartículas proteináceos al tiempo que mejora su farmacocinética 8,11. Demostramos tumor homing de VNPs PEGilados utilizando un modelo de ratón xenograft tumor. Una combinación de imágenes de fluorescencia de tejidos ex vivo mediante Maestro del sistema de imágenes, la cuantificación de fluorescencia en tejidos homogeneizados, y la microscopía confocal se utiliza para estudiar la biodistribución. VNPs se eliminan a través del sistema reticuloendotelial (RES); tumor homing se logra pasivamente a través del aumento de la permeabilidad y retención (EPR) efecto 12. La nanotecnología VNP es un potente plug-and-play de tecnología para el tratamiento de la imagen y sitios de la enfermedad in vivo. Seguimos desarrollando VNPs para llevar cargas de drogas y restos de formación de imágenes clínicamente relevantes, así como ligandos específicos de tejido aorientar receptores moleculares sobreexpresa en el cáncer y la enfermedad cardiovascular.
