Theranostic radioisotope pairs such as Gallium-68 (Ga) for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Lutetium-177 (Lu) for radioisotopic therapy, in conjunction with nanoparticles (NPs), are an emerging field in the treatment of cancer. The present work aims to demonstrate the ability of condensed colloidal nanocrystal clusters (co-CNCs) comprised of iron oxide nanoparticles, coated with alginic acid (MA) and stabilized by a layer of polyethylene glycol (MAPEG) to be directly radiolabeled with Ga and its therapeutic analog Lu. Ga/Lu- MA and MAPEG were investigated for their in vitro stability. The biocompatibility of the non-radiolabeled nanoparticles, as well as the cytotoxicity of MA, MAPEG, and [Lu]Lu-MAPEG were assessed on 4T1 cells. Finally, the ex vivo biodistribution of the Ga-labeled NPs as well as [Lu]Lu-MAPEG was investigated in normal mice. Radiolabeling with both radioisotopes took place via a simple and direct labelling method without further purification. Hemocompatibility was verified for both NPs, while MTT studies demonstrated the non-cytotoxic profile of the nanocarriers and the dose-dependent toxicity for [Lu]Lu-MAPEG. The radiolabeled nanoparticles mainly accumulated in RES organs. Based on our preliminary results, we conclude that MAPEG could be further investigated as a theranostic agent for PET diagnosis and therapy of cancer.
用于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的镓 - 68(Ga)和用于放射性同位素治疗的镥 - 177(Lu)等诊疗放射性同位素对,与纳米颗粒(NPs)结合,是癌症治疗中一个新兴的领域。目前的工作旨在证明由氧化铁纳米颗粒组成、包覆藻酸(MA)并由一层聚乙二醇(MAPEG)稳定的凝聚胶体纳米晶体簇(co - CNCs)能够直接用Ga及其治疗类似物Lu进行放射性标记。研究了Ga/Lu - MA和MAPEG的体外稳定性。在4T1细胞上评估了未放射性标记的纳米颗粒的生物相容性,以及MA、MAPEG和[Lu]Lu - MAPEG的细胞毒性。最后,在正常小鼠体内研究了Ga标记的NPs以及[Lu]Lu - MAPEG的体内生物分布。两种放射性同位素的放射性标记均通过简单直接的标记方法进行,无需进一步纯化。两种NPs均验证了血液相容性,而MTT研究表明纳米载体无细胞毒性,[Lu]Lu - MAPEG具有剂量依赖性毒性。放射性标记的纳米颗粒主要积聚在网状内皮系统(RES)器官中。基于我们的初步结果,我们得出结论,MAPEG可作为癌症PET诊断和治疗的诊疗剂进一步研究。
