This study was performed to synthesize multimodal radiopharmaceutical designed for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To achieve this goal, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles were used as a platform for targeting molecule (PSMA-617) and for complexation of two scandium radionuclides, Sc for PET imaging and Sc for radionuclide therapy. TEM and XPS images showed that the FeO NPs have a uniform cubic shape and a size from 38 to 50 nm. The FeO core are surrounded by SiO and an organic layer. The saturation magnetization of the SPION core was 60 emu/g. However, coating the SPIONs with silica and polyglycerol reduces the magnetization significantly. The obtained bioconjugates were labeled with Sc and Sc, with a yield higher than 97%. The radiobioconjugate exhibited high affinity and cytotoxicity toward the human prostate cancer LNCaP (PSMA+) cell line, much higher than for PC-3 (PSMA-) cells. High cytotoxicity of the radiobioconjugate was confirmed by radiotoxicity studies on LNCaP 3D spheroids. In addition, the magnetic properties of the radiobioconjugate should allow for its use in guide drug delivery driven by magnetic field gradient.
本研究旨在合成用于前列腺癌诊断和治疗的多模态放射性药物。为实现这一目标,超顺磁性氧化铁(SPIO)纳米颗粒被用作靶向分子(PSMA - 617)的平台以及两种钪放射性核素的络合剂,其中Sc用于PET成像,Sc用于放射性核素治疗。透射电子显微镜(TEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)图像显示,FeO纳米颗粒具有均匀的立方形状,尺寸在38至50纳米之间。FeO核被SiO和有机层包围。SPION核的饱和磁化强度为60 emu/g。然而,用二氧化硅和聚甘油包覆SPION会显著降低其磁化强度。所得生物共轭物用Sc和Sc标记,产率高于97%。该放射性生物共轭物对人前列腺癌LNCaP(PSMA +)细胞系表现出高亲和力和细胞毒性,远高于对PC - 3(PSMA -)细胞的毒性。通过对LNCaP 3D球体的放射毒性研究证实了该放射性生物共轭物的高细胞毒性。此外,该放射性生物共轭物的磁性应使其可用于磁场梯度驱动的引导药物递送。
