研究目的
To develop a novel nanosystem for image-guided cancer therapy that combines diagnostic and therapeutic functions, specifically targeting ovarian cancer with improved photodynamic therapy (PDT) effects under hypoxia conditions.
研究成果
The FURH-PFH-NPs nanosystem demonstrated excellent targeting ability, multimodal imaging capacity, and synergistic therapeutic effects in ovarian cancer models. It effectively addressed the limitations of PDT under hypoxia and provided a non-invasive, visualized, and controllable therapeutic modality. The strategy shows promise for clinical application in ovarian cancer treatment.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the challenges of PDT under hypoxia and the limited penetration depth of visible light, which the nanosystem aims to overcome. However, the long-term stability and potential immunogenicity of the nanosystem in clinical settings remain to be evaluated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed a novel nanosystem (FURH-PFH-NPs) combining folic acid-modified lipid shells with a perfluorohexane (PFH) core for targeted drug delivery and imaging. The methodology included the synthesis of UCNPs-RB, preparation of lipid films, and double ultrasonic emulsification for nanoparticle formation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SKOV3 cells and nude mice bearing SKOV3 xenografts were used for in vitro and in vivo studies, respectively. Data were collected through multimodal imaging (US, PA, FL), cell viability assays, and histopathological examinations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument, ultrasound diagnostic instrument, and fluorescence microscopy. Materials included Rose Bengal, HCPT, UCNPs-NH2, PFH, and various lipids.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The workflow involved the synthesis of UCNPs-RB, preparation of FURH-PFH-NPs, in vitro and in vivo imaging, cell viability and apoptosis assays, and therapeutic efficacy evaluation in xenograft models.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 for statistical significance, including ANOVA and student's t-test. Imaging data were quantified using specific software for gray value and fluorescence intensity analysis.
