Targeting is vital for precise positioning and efficient therapy, and integrated platforms for diagnosis and therapy have attracted more and more attention. Herein, we established dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coated fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) by using the linear peptide of the extracellular region of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) and adopting doxorubicin (DOX) as templates for targeted imaging and targeted therapy. Benefiting from the epitope imprinting approach, the imprinted sites generated by peptides on the MIP surface can be employed for recognizing the corresponding protein, which allowed the MIP to specifically and actively target HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Because of its ability to identify breast cancer cells, the MIP was applied for targeted fluorescence imaging by taking advantage of the excellent fluorescence properties of Si NPs, and the DOX-loaded MIP (MIP@DOX) can act as a therapeutic probe to effectively target and kill breast cancer cells. In fluorescence images, the targeting of the MIP promoted more uptake of the nanoparticles by cells than the non-imprinted polymer (NIP), so HER2-positive breast cancer cells incubated with the MIP exhibited stronger fluorescence, and there was no significant difference in fluorescence when HER2-negative cells and normal cells were respectively hatched with the MIP and NIP. Importantly, the cell viability was evaluated to demonstrate targeted accumulation and therapy of MIP@DOX for breast cancer cells. The nanoplatform for diagnosis and therapy combined the high sensitivity of fluorescence with the high selectivity of the molecular imprinting technique, which holds vital potential in targeted imaging and targeted therapy in vitro.
靶向对于精确定位和高效治疗至关重要,用于诊断和治疗的集成平台吸引了越来越多的关注。在此,我们通过使用人表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)细胞外区域的线性肽并采用阿霉素(DOX)作为模板,建立了双模板分子印迹聚合物(MIP)包覆的荧光硅纳米粒子(Si NPs),用于靶向成像和靶向治疗。受益于表位印迹方法,MIP 表面上的肽生成的印迹位点可用于识别相应的蛋白质,这使得 MIP 能够特异性地主动靶向 HER2 阳性乳腺癌细胞。由于其识别乳腺癌细胞的能力,MIP 被应用于通过 Si NPs 的优异荧光特性进行靶向荧光成像,并且负载 DOX 的 MIP(MIP@DOX)可以用作治疗探针,以有效靶向和杀死乳腺癌细胞。在荧光图像中,MIP 的靶向作用促进了细胞对纳米粒子的摄取增加,而印迹聚合物(NIP)则没有。因此,孵育了 MIP 的 HER2 阳性乳腺癌细胞显示出更强的荧光,而孵育了 MIP 和 NIP 的 HER2 阴性细胞和正常细胞之间的荧光没有明显差异。重要的是,通过评估细胞活力来证明 MIP@DOX 对乳腺癌细胞的靶向积累和治疗作用。用于诊断和治疗的纳米平台将荧光的高灵敏度与分子印迹技术的高选择性结合在一起,在体外靶向成像和靶向治疗中具有重要的潜力。
