To enhance the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we prepared a dual-modal probe Cy5.5-Tf-Gd-DTPA. Gd-DTPA and near-infrared (NIR) dyes were conjugated to holo-Transferrin (Tf) sequentially, the result of ICP-AES and UV showed 25 Gd ions and 1 Cy5.5 could be loaded per protein, respectively. The calculated longitudinal relaxivity R1 of Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd was 4.21 mM-1S-1 per Gd while that of Magnevist (Gd-DTPA) was only 4.02 mM-1S-1. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that the Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd was localized and accumulated in cytoplasmic vesicles; the cell toxicity assay showed no apparent toxicity. MR and NIR imaging of mice with subcutaneous H1299 xenografte tumors following intravenous injection of Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd revealed a strong positive contrast of the tumors, which caused a longer lasting enhancement of the MRI signal and fluorescence signal. Taken together, these studies indicate that Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd could be a good agent for MR/NIRF dual mode applications to detect both tumor in situ and its metastasis.
为提高非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的诊断水平,我们制备了一种双模态探针Cy5.5-Tf-Gd-DTPA。钆喷酸葡胺(Gd-DTPA)和近红外(NIR)染料依次与全转铁蛋白(Tf)偶联,电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-AES)和紫外(UV)检测结果表明,每个蛋白质分子可分别负载25个钆离子和1个Cy5.5。计算得出,Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd中每个钆离子的纵向弛豫率R1为4.21 mM-1S-1,而马根维显(Gd-DTPA)仅为4.02 mM-1S-1。共聚焦激光扫描显微镜和免疫组织化学分析显示,Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd定位于细胞质囊泡并在其中积聚;细胞毒性试验表明无明显毒性。静脉注射Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd后,对皮下接种H1299异种移植瘤的小鼠进行磁共振成像(MR)和近红外成像(NIR),结果显示肿瘤有强烈的阳性对比,导致MRI信号和荧光信号增强持续时间更长。综上所述,这些研究表明Cy5.5-Tf-DTPA-Gd可能是一种用于MR/NIRF双模态应用以检测原位肿瘤及其转移的良好试剂。
