Gold nanorods-mediated efficient synergistic immunotherapy for detection and inhibition of postoperative tumor recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Tumor recurrence after surgery is the main cause of treatment failure. However, the initial stage of recurrence is not easy to detect, and it is difficult to cure in the late stage. In order to improve the life quality of postoperative patients, an efficient synergistic immunotherapy was developed to achieve early diagnosis and treatment of post-surgical tumor recurrence, simultaneously. In this paper, two kinds of theranostic agents based on gold nanorods (AuNRs) platform were prepared. AuNRs and quantum dots (QDs) in one agent was used for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology to indicate the occurrence of in situ recurrence, while AuNRs in the other agent was used for photothermal therapy (PTT), together with anti-PDL1 mediated immunotherapy to alleviate the process of tumor metastasis. A series of assays indicated that this synergistic immunotherapy could induce tumor cell death and the increased generation of CD3⁺/CD4⁺ T-lymphocytes and CD3⁺/CD8⁺ T-lymphocytes. Besides, more immune factors (IL-2, IL-6, and IFN-γ) produced by synergistic immunotherapy were secreted than mono-immunotherapy. This cooperative immunotherapy strategy could be utilized for diagnosis and treatment of postoperative tumor recurrence at the same time, providing a new perspective for basic and clinical research.

Gold nanorods and nanohydroxyapatite hybrid hydrogel for preventing bone tumor recurrence via postoperative photothermal therapy and bone regeneration promotion.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor, which often occurs in adolescents. However, surgical resection usually fails to completely remove the tumor clinically, which has been the main cause of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, resulting in the high death rate of patients. At the same time, osteosarcoma invades a large area of the bone defect, which cannot be self-repaired and seriously affects the life quality of the patients. Herein, a bifunctional methacrylated gelatin/methacrylated chondroitin sulfate hydrogel hybrid gold nanorods (GNRs) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), which possessed excellent photothermal effect, was constructed to eradicate residual tumor after surgery and bone regeneration. In vitro, K7M2wt cells (a mouse bone tumor cell line) can be efficiently eradicated by photothermal therapy of the hybrid hydrogel. Meanwhile, the hydrogel mimics the extracellular matrix to promote proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. The GNRs/nHA hybrid hydrogel was capable of photothermal treatment of postoperative tumors and bone defect repair in a mice model of tibia osteosarcoma. Therefore, the hybrid hydrogel possesses dual functions of tumor therapy and bone regeneration, which shows great potential in curing bone tumors and provides a new hope for tumor-related bone complex disease.

Project description:The immune system may respond to engineered nanomaterials (ENM) through inflammatory reactions. The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to a wide range of ENM, and its activation is associated with various inflammatory diseases. The objective of the study was to compare the effects of gold ENM of different shapes on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and related signalling pathways. Differentiated THP-1 cells (wildtype, ASC- or NLRP3-deficient), were exposed to PEGylated gold nanorods, nanostars, and nanospheres. Exposed cells were subjected to gene expression analysis. Nanorods, but not nanostars or nanospheres, showed NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ASC- or NLRP3-deficient cells did not show this effect. Gold nanorod-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation was accompanied by downregulated sterol/cholesterol biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and purinergic receptor signalling. In conclusion, the shape and surface chemistry of gold nanoparticles determine NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Synergistic delivery of gold nanorods using multifunctional microbubbles for enhanced plasmonic photothermal therapy.

Project description:Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) using plasmonic nanoparticles as efficient photoabsorbing agents has been proposed previously. One critical step in PPTT is to effectively deliver gold nanoparticles into the cells. This study demonstrates that the delivery of gold nanorods (AuNRs) can be greatly enhanced by combining the following three mechanisms: AuNRs encapsulated in protein-shell microbubbles (AuMBs), molecular targeting, and sonoporation employing acoustic cavitation of microbubbles (MBs). Both in vitro and in vivo tests were performed. For molecular targeting, the AuMBs were modified with anti-VEGFR2. Once bound to the angiogenesis markers, the MBs were destroyed by ultrasound to release the AuNRs and the release was confirmed by photoacoustic measurements. Additionally, acoustic cavitation was induced during MB destruction for sonoporation (i.e., increase in transient cellular permeability). The measured inertial cavitation dose was positively correlated with the temperature increase at the tumor site. The quantity of AuNRs delivered into the cells was also determined by measuring the mass spectrometry and observed using third-harmonic-generation microscopy and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. A temperature increase of 20 °C was achieved in vitro. The PPTT results in vivo also demonstrated that the temperature increase (>45 °C) provided a sufficiently high degree of hyperthermia. Therefore, synergistic delivery of AuNRs was demonstrated.

Enrichment and detection of rare proteins with aptamer-conjugated gold nanorods.

Project description:Rare protein enrichment and sensitive detection hold great potential in biomedical studies and clinical practice. This work describes the use of aptamer-conjugated gold nanorods for the efficient enrichment of rare proteins from buffer solutions and human plasma. Gold nanorod (AuNR) surfaces were modified with a long PEG chain and a 15-mer thrombin aptamer for protein enrichment and detection. Studies of the effect of surface modification on enrichment efficiency of thrombin showed that a change of only one EG(6) linker unit, i.e., from 2EG(6) to 3EG(6), could increase thrombin protein capture efficiency by up to 47%. Furthermore, a 1 ppm sample of thrombin in buffer could be enriched with around 90% efficiency using a low concentration (0.19 nM) of gold nanorod probe modified with 3EG(6) spacer, and with the same probe, effective capture was achieved down to 10 ppb (1 ng) thrombin in plasma samples. In addition to ?-thrombin enrichment, prothrombin was also efficiently captured from plasma samples via gold nanorods conjugated with 15-mer thrombin aptamer. Our work demonstrates efficient enrichment of rare proteins using aptamer-modified nanomaterials, which can be used in biomarker discovery studies.

Gold-nanoparticle-decorated silica nanorods for sensitive visual detection of proteins.

Project description:We report a rapid and highly sensitive approach based on gold-nanoparticle-decorated silica nanorods (GNP-SiNRs) label and lateral-flow strip biosensor (LFSB) for visually detecting proteins. Owing to its biocompatibility and convenient surface modification, SiNRs were used as carriers to load numerous GNPs, and the GNP-SiNRs were used as labels for the lateral-flow assay. The LFSB detection limit was lowered 50 times compared to the traditional GNP-based lateral-flow assay. Rabbit IgG was used as a model target to demonstrate the proof-of-concept. Sandwich-type immunoreactions were performed on the immunochromatographic strips, and the accumulation of GNP-SiNRs on the test zone produced the characteristic colored bands, enabling visual detection of proteins without instrumentation. The quantitative detection was performed by reading the intensities of the colored bands with a portable strip reader. The response of the optimized device was highly linear for the range of 0.05-2 ng mL(-1), and the detection limit was estimated to be 0.01 ng mL(-1). The GNP-SiNR-based LFSB, thus, offered an ultrasensitive method for rapidly detecting trace amounts of proteins. This method has a potential application with point-of-care screening for clinical diagnostics and biomedical research.

SPR signals enhancement by gold nanorods for cell surface marker detection.

Project description:Introduction: The detection of micrometer-sized particles like cells is limited by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors because of having a depth of evanescent wave <500 nm. In this study, for the first time, we exhibited the use of streptavidin-functionalized gold nanorods (GNRs) as intensification labels for detection of cell surface markers in SPR-based biosensors. Methods: The GNRs (ʎ max: 735 nm) were modified with streptavidin using EDC/NHS coupling method and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were selected as the cell model for detecting VE-cadherin on cell surface using real-time SPR device in the 785 nm wavelength of the laser source. Results: The investigations revealed that the plasmonic field extension produced from the gold layer and GNRs resulted in multiple enhancement of SPR signals when the wavelength of laser source in SPR instrument was matched with the wavelength of maximum absorbance in GNRs. Moreover, the results showed that the growth of ∆RU value in specific and non-specific bindings for various cell number injections were produced with increasing the cell number. Conclusion: The results displayed that cell detection can be performed in real- time form without any need to a time-consuming process used in conventional methods like immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and western blotting.

Comparative effect of gold nanorods and nanocages for prostate tumor hyperthermia.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles have been investigated as photothermal agents, drug delivery carriers, diagnostics, and theranostics. As long-term accumulation of nanoparticles in nontarget tissues is a growing concern, it is vital to establish biodistribution profiles, tumor uptake, and tissue residence times for each nano-based system. This study aimed to investigate the prostate tumor uptake, photothermal therapy mediated macromolecular delivery, acute and chronic biodistribution profiles, and organ residence time differences between two nanoparticles, i.e., gold nanocages and gold nanorods. These particles have tunable surface plasmon resonances in the near infrared, but dissimilar shapes. Gold nanocages and nanorods had very different light to heat transduction efficiencies, with gold nanocages requiring 18.4 times fewer particles and approximately half the gold mass of gold nanorods to achieve the same heating profile given a constant laser intensity. It was also observed that while the photothermal macromolecular delivery enhancements were similar for the two systems when dosed by optical density, the tumoral uptake and biodistribution profiles for each of these shapes differed, with the nanocages residing in the liver, kidneys and spleen for less time than the nanorods. Additionally, it was observed that the nanocages were excreted from the body at a higher percentage of injected dose than the nanorods at both the 7 and 28 day time points. These findings have implications for the use of these constructs in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Size Dependent Kinetics of Gold Nanorods in EPR Mediated Tumor Delivery.

Project description:Gold nanorods (AuNR) have been intensively used in nanomedicine for cancer diagnostics and therapy, due to their excellent plasmonic photothermal properties. Tuning the size and aspect ratio of AuNR tailors the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the NIR spectrum at which biological tissues are transparent, thus enables specific and effective treatment. The AuNR extravasates into tumor interstitium through enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. Efficient AuNR based cancer therapy requires efficient AuNR tumor delivery. However, the size of AuNR can dramatically affect its blood circulation and tumor accumulation. Here we proposed for the first time a systematic framework to investigate the size-dependent kinetics of AuNRs during EPR mediated tumor delivery. By using 64Cu-labeled AuNRs with positron emission tomography (PET) and kinetic modeling, the in vivo uptake and kinetics of 64Cu-AuNR during its blood circulation, tumor accumulation and elimination were studied both in vitro and in vivo. The results of different sized AuNRs were compared and the optimum size of AuNR was suggested for EPR mediated tumor delivery. Our study provides a better understanding of the in vivo behavior of AuNR, which can help future design of nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy.

Biodegradable gemcitabine-loaded microdevice with sustained local drug delivery and improved tumor recurrence inhibition abilities for postoperative pancreatic tumor treatment.

Project description:At present, the 10-year survival rate of patients with pancreatic cancer is still less than 4%, mainly due to the high cancer recurrence rate caused by incomplete surgery and lack of effective postoperative adjuvant treatment. Systemic chemotherapy remains the only choice for patients after surgery; however, it is accompanied by off-target effects and server systemic toxicity. Herein, we proposed a biodegradable microdevice for local sustained drug delivery and postoperative pancreatic cancer treatment as an alternative and safe option. Biodegradable poly(l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (P(L)LGA) was developed as the matrix material, gemcitabine hydrochloride (GEM·HCl) was chosen as the therapeutic drug and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was employed as the drug release-controlled regulator. Through adjusting the amount and molecular weight of PEG, the controllable degradation of matrix and the sustained release of GEM·HCl were obtained, thus overcoming the unstable drug release properties of traditional microdevices. The drug release mechanism of microdevice and the regulating action of PEG were studied in detail. More importantly, in the treatment of the postoperative recurrence model of subcutaneous pancreatic tumor in mice, the microdevice showed effective inhibition of postoperative in situ recurrences of pancreatic tumors with excellent biosafety and minimum systemic toxicity. The microdevice developed in this study provides an option for postoperative adjuvant pancreatic treatment, and greatly broadens the application prospects of traditional chemotherapy drugs.

Background Suppression in Imaging Gold Nanorods through Detection of Anti-Stokes Emission.

Project description:Metallic nanoparticles have opened the possibility of imaging, tracking, and manipulating biological samples without time limitations. Their low photoluminescence quantum yield, however, makes them hard to detect under high background conditions. In this study we show that it is possible to image gold nanorods by detecting their anti-Stokes emission under resonant excitation. We show that even in the membrane of a cell containing the fluorescent dye Atto 647N, the signal/background of the anti-Stokes emission can be >10, while it is impossible to image the particles with the Stokes emission. The main advantage of this technique is that it does not require any major change in existing fluorescence imaging setups, only the addition of an appropriate short-pass filter in the detection path.
