A smart all-in-one theranostic platform for CT imaging guided tumor microwave thermotherapy based on IL@ZrO₂ nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: This study develops a simple hollow ZrO₂ nanostructure as a carrier to encapsulate ionic liquid (IL), which integrates the CT imaging function of the ZrO₂ shell and the microwave susceptibility function of the IL core. The simple nanostructure can be used as a multifunctional theranostic agent via combining diagnostic and therapeutic modalities into one "package". Based on the microwave susceptibility properties, the tumor inhibiting ratio can be over 90% in mice models after one-time thermal therapy upon microwave irradiation. In vitro and in vivo imaging results prove the potential of CT imaging application for real-time monitoring of biodistribution and metabolic processes, and assessing therapeutic outcomes. To our best knowledge, our study is the first example to achieve CT imaging and microwave thermal therapy simultaneously through a simple nanostructure. We anticipate that the simple IL@ZrO₂ nanostructure may build a useful platform for the clinical imaging guided therapy of tumors.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous ablation is an alternative treatment for lung cancer in non-operable patients. This is a prospective clinical trial for percutaneous microwave ablation (pMWA) of biopsy-proven lung cancer to demonstrate safety and efficacy.MethodsA prospective trial from 6-1-2016 to 1-1-2019 enrolled patients with biopsy-proven primary or metastatic lung cancer <3 cm in size and 1 cm away from the pleura for pMWA with the Emprint Ablation System with Thermosphere Technology for Phase I analysis, (Clinicaltrials.gov; #NCT0267302). Patients were followed for 1 year with PET/CT and PET/MR to determine patterns of recurrence and efficacy of ablation.ResultsAfter 12 patients consented for biopsy, 6 patients underwent treatment of 7 lesions, 3/6 women, median age of 67 (IQR, 65-70) years, body mass index (BMI): 27.8 (IQR, 21.4-32.1) kg/m2, lesion distance to pleura 24.4 (IQR, 13-38) mm, lesion size of 10.7 (IQR, 6-14) mm, and ablation duration time 5.9 (IQR, 3-10) minutes. pMWA were completed at 75 W. Twelve adverse events were reported (1 Grade 3, 3 Grade 2, and 8 Grade 1 events) with Grade 4 or 5 events. Mean % change after ablation in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was -2% and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) was -1%. After 2-3 months, the lesions would decrease in size, rim thickness, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) activity, and T2 signal. FDG activity after 6 months was below blood pool in all cases. The ablation zones stabilized by 6-12 months. One patient expired during the study from pneumonia unrelated to ablation without local recurrence. Of the seven ablations during the 1 year follow-up, there was local tumor recurrence at 271 days following ablation at the apex of the ablation zone, subsequently successfully treated with percutaneous cryoablation (Cryo).ConclusionspMWA appears to be a safe and effective mechanism for treatment of primary and secondary tumors of the lung, with possible preservation of pulmonary function.

Project description:Fluorescence image-guided surgery combined with intraoperative therapeutic modalities has great potential for intraoperative detection of oncologic targets and eradication of unresectable cancer residues. Therefore, we have developed an activatable theranostic nanoplatform that can be used concurrently for two purposes: (1) tumor delineation with real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal during surgery, and (2) intraoperative targeted treatment to further eliminate unresected disease sites by non-toxic phototherapy. Methods: The developed nanoplatform is based on a single agent, silicon naphthalocyanine (SiNc), encapsulated in biodegradable PEG-PCL (poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ɛ-caprolactone)) nanoparticles. It is engineered to be non-fluorescent initially via dense SiNc packing within the nanoparticle's hydrophobic core, with NIR fluorescence activation after accumulation at the tumor site. The activatable nanoplatform was evaluated in vitro and in two different murine cancer models, including an ovarian intraperitoneal metastasis-mimicking model. Furthermore, fluorescence image-guided surgery mediated by this nanoplatform was performed on the employed animal models using a Fluobeam® 800 imaging system. Finally, the phototherapeutic efficacy of the developed nanoplatform was demonstrated in vivo. Results: Our in vitro data suggest that the intracellular environment of cancer cells is capable of compromising the integrity of self-assembled nanoparticles and thus causes disruption of the tight dye packing inside the hydrophobic cores and activation of the NIR fluorescence. Animal studies demonstrated accumulation of activatable nanoparticles at the tumor site following systemic administration, as well as release and fluorescence recovery of SiNc from the polymeric carrier. It was also validated that the developed nanoparticles are compatible with the intraoperative imaging system Fluobeam® 800, and nanoparticle-mediated image-guided surgery provides successful resection of cancer tumors. Finally, in vivo studies revealed that combinatorial phototherapy mediated by the nanoparticles could efficiently eradicate chemoresistant ovarian cancer tumors. Conclusion: The revealed properties of the activatable nanoplatform make it highly promising for further application in clinical image-guided surgery and combined phototherapy, facilitating a potential translation to clinical studies.
