研究目的
Investigating the therapeutic effects of a specific nanotheranostic system on overcoming hypoxic radioresistance in tumor radiotherapy.
研究成果
The study concludes that the scintillating nanotheranostic system of NSC@mSiO2-SNO/ICG NPs has great potential for multimodal imaging-guided X-ray radiation-triggered tumor combined therapy to overcome tumor radioresistance. The system effectively enhances radiotherapy efficacy through high local dosage, ROS production, and NO release, improving tumor hypoxia and promoting tumor cell apoptosis.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the need for future clinical application, including size reduction and PEG surface modification to prolong in vivo circulation time and prevent nanoparticles from being captured by the liver and spleen. Additionally, a targeting ligand could be further used to improve tumor-specific accumulation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed a radiation-responsive nanotheranostic system by loading S-nitrosothiol groups (SNO) and indocyanine green (ICG) onto mesoporous silica shells of Eu3+-doped NaGdF4 scintillating nanocrystals (NSC). The system was tested for its ability to enhance radiotherapy effects on hypoxic tumors through multi-way therapeutic effects.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells, human mammary epithelial MCF-10A cells, human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, human glioma U251 cells, and human cervical cancer HeLa cells were used. In vivo studies were conducted on BALB/c mice with 4T1 tumor xenografts.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer, dynamic light scattering, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, confocal laser-scanning microscope, clinical electron linear accelerator.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanosystem was synthesized, characterized, and tested for ROS and NO production under X-ray radiation. In vitro and in vivo studies assessed the system's effects on tumor cell destruction, apoptosis, and tumor growth inhibition.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using OriginPro 9.0 and Microsoft Excel. Significance between groups was analyzed using Student's two-tailed t-test.
