BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of using matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-cleavable ratiometric activatable cell-penetrating peptides (RACPPs) conjugated to Cy5 and Cy7 fluorophores to accurately label pancreatic cancer for fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in an orthotopic mouse model.
METHODS
Orthotopic mouse models were established using MiaPaCa-2-GFP human pancreatic cancer cells. Two weeks after implantation, tumor-bearing mice were randomized to conventional white light reflectance (WLR) surgery or FGS. FGS was performed at far-red and infrared wavelengths with a customized fluorescence-dissecting microscope 2 h after injection of MMP-2 and MMP-9-cleavable RACPPs. Green fluorescence imaging of the GFP-labeled cancer cells was used to assess the effectiveness of surgical resection and monitor recurrence. At 8 weeks, mice were sacrificed to evaluate tumor burden and metastases.
RESULTS
Mice in the WLR group had larger primary tumors than mice in the FGS group at termination [1.72 g ± standard error (SE) 0.58 vs. 0.25 g ± SE 0.14; respectively, p = 0.026). Mean disease-free survival was significantly lengthened from 5.33 weeks in the WLR group to 7.38 weeks in the FGS group (p = 0.02). Recurrence rates were lower in the FGS group than in the WLR group (38 vs. 73 %; p = 0.049). This translated into lower local and distant recurrence rates for FGS compared to WLR (31 vs. 67 for local recurrence, respectively, and 25 vs. 60 % for distant recurrence, respectively). Metastatic tumor burden was significantly greater in the WLR group than in the FGS group (96.92 mm(2) ± SE 52.03 vs. 2.20 mm(2) ± SE 1.43; respectively, χ (2) = 5.455; p = 0.02).
CONCLUSIONS
RACPPs can accurately and effectively label pancreatic cancer for effective FGS, resulting in better postresection outcomes than for WLR surgery.
背景
本研究旨在评估与Cy5和Cy7荧光团偶联的基质金属蛋白酶-2（MMP-2）和基质金属蛋白酶-9（MMP-9）可切割的比率激活细胞穿透肽（RACPPs）在原位小鼠模型中对胰腺癌进行准确标记以用于荧光引导手术（FGS）的疗效。
方法
使用MiaPaCa-2-GFP人胰腺癌细胞建立原位小鼠模型。植入后两周，将荷瘤小鼠随机分为传统白光反射（WLR）手术组或FGS组。在注射MMP-2和MMP-9可切割的RACPPs后2小时，使用定制的荧光解剖显微镜在远红光和红外波长下进行FGS。利用GFP标记癌细胞的绿色荧光成像评估手术切除的有效性并监测复发情况。8周时，处死小鼠以评估肿瘤负荷和转移情况。
结果
在实验结束时，WLR组小鼠的原发性肿瘤比FGS组小鼠的更大[1.72 g±标准误（SE）0.58 vs. 0.25 g±SE 0.14；p = 0.026]。平均无病生存期从WLR组的5.33周显著延长至FGS组的7.38周（p = 0.02）。FGS组的复发率低于WLR组（38%对73%；p = 0.049）。这导致FGS组的局部和远处复发率均低于WLR组（局部复发分别为31%对67%，远处复发分别为25%对60%）。WLR组的转移瘤负荷显著大于FGS组（96.92 mm²±SE 52.03对2.20 mm²±SE 1.43；χ² = 5.455；p = 0.02）。
结论
RACPPs能够准确有效地标记胰腺癌以进行有效的FGS，与WLR手术相比，术后效果更佳。
