Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest and most invasive brain cancers/gliomas, and there is currently no established way to treat this disease. The treatment of GBM typically involves intracranial surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impedes the delivery of the chemotherapeutic drug, making the treatment challenging. In this study, we embedded a chemotherapeutic drug and other nanomaterials into a nanobubble (NB), utilized active tracking and other guidance mechanisms to guide the nanocomposite to the tumor site, and then used high-intensity focused ultrasound oscillation to burst the nanobubbles, generating a transient cavitation impact on the BBB and allowing the drug to bypass it and reach the brain. FePt enhances the resolution of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging images and has magnetic properties that help guide the nanocomposite to the tumor location. FePt nanoparticles were loaded into the hydrophobic core of the NBs along with doxorubicin to form a bubble-based drug delivery system (Dox-FePt@NB). The surface of the NBs is modified with a targeting ligand, transferrin (Dox-FePt@NB-Tf), giving the nanocomposite active tracking abilities. The Dox-FePt@NB-Tf developed in the present study represents a potential breakthrough in GBM treatment through improved drug delivery and biological imaging.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是最致命和最具侵袭性的脑癌/神经胶质瘤之一,目前尚无治疗这种疾病的既定方法。GBM 的治疗通常包括颅内手术和化疗。然而,血脑屏障(BBB)阻碍了化疗药物的输送,使得治疗具有挑战性。在这项研究中,我们将化疗药物和其他纳米材料嵌入纳米泡(NB)中,利用主动跟踪和其他引导机制将纳米复合材料引导到肿瘤部位,然后使用高强度聚焦超声振荡使纳米泡破裂,对 BBB 产生短暂的空化冲击,使药物绕过它并到达大脑。FePt 提高了 T2 加权磁共振成像图像的分辨率,并且具有磁性,有助于将纳米复合材料引导到肿瘤位置。FePt 纳米颗粒与阿霉素一起装载到 NB 的疏水性核心中,形成基于泡的药物递送系统(Dox-FePt@NB)。NB 的表面用靶向配体转铁蛋白(Dox-FePt@NB-Tf)进行修饰,使纳米复合材料具有主动跟踪能力。本研究中开发的 Dox-FePt@NB-Tf 通过改善药物递送和生物成像,代表了 GBM 治疗的潜在突破。
