High-precision tumor resection down to few-cell level guided by NIR-IIb molecular fluorescence imaging.

ABSTRACT: In vivo fluorescence/luminescence imaging in the near-infrared-IIb (NIR-IIb, 1,500 to 1,700 nm) window under <1,000 nm excitation can afford subcentimeter imaging depth without any tissue autofluorescence, promising high-precision intraoperative navigation in the clinic. Here, we developed a compact imager for concurrent visible photographic and NIR-II (1,000 to 3,000 nm) fluorescence imaging for preclinical image-guided surgery. Biocompatible erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (ErNPs) with bright down-conversion luminescence in the NIR-IIb window were conjugated to TRC105 antibody for molecular imaging of CD105 angiogenesis markers in 4T1 murine breast tumors. Under a ∼940 ± 38 nm light-emitting diode (LED) excitation, NIR-IIb imaging of 1,500- to 1,700-nm emission afforded noninvasive tumor–to–normal tissue (T/NT) signal ratios of ∼40 before surgery and an ultrahigh intraoperative tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratio of ∼300, resolving tumor margin unambiguously without interfering background signal from surrounding healthy tissues. High-resolution imaging resolved small numbers of residual cancer cells during surgery, allowing thorough and nonexcessive tumor removal at the few-cell level. NIR-IIb molecular imaging afforded 10-times-higher and 100-times-higher T/NT and T/M ratios, respectively, than imaging with IRDye800CW-TRC105 in the ∼900- to 1,300-nm range. The vastly improved resolution of tumor margin and diminished background open a paradigm of molecular imaging-guided surgery.

Project description:BackgroundSurgery is the cornerstone of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, yet complete removal of the tumour remains a challenge. The second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescent molecular imaging is a novel technique, which has broad application prospects in tumour surgical navigation. We aimed to evaluate the ability of CEACAM5-targeted probe for CRC recognition and the value of NIR-II imaging-guided CRC resection.MethodsWe constructed the probe 2D5-IRDye800CW by conjugated anti-CEACAM5 nanobody (2D5) with near-infrared fluorescent dye IRDye800CW. The performance and benefits of 2D5-IRDye800CW at NIR-II were confirmed by imaging experiments in mouse vascular and capillary phantom. Then mouse colorectal cancer subcutaneous tumour model (n = 15), orthotopic model (n = 15), and peritoneal metastasis model (n = 10) were constructed to investigate biodistribution of probe and imaging differences between NIR-I and NIR-II in vivo, and then tumour resection was guided by NIR-II fluorescence. Fresh human colorectal cancer specimens were incubated with 2D5-IRDye800CW to verify its specific targeting ability.Findings2D5-IRDye800CW had an NIR-II fluorescence signal extending to 1600 nm and bound specifically to CEACAM5 with an affinity of 2.29 nM. In vivo imaging, 2D5-IRDye800CW accumulated rapidly in tumour (15 min) and could specifically identify orthotopic colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases. All tumours were resected under NIR-II fluorescence guidance, even smaller than 2 mm tumours were detected, and NIR-II had a higher tumour-to-background ratio than NIR-I (2.55 ± 0.38, 1.94 ± 0.20, respectively). 2D5-IRDye800CW could precisely identify CEACAM5-positive human colorectal cancer tissue.Interpretation2D5-IRDye800CW combined with NIR-II fluorescence has translational potential as an aid to improve R0 surgery of colorectal cancer.FundingsThis study was supported by Beijing Natural Science Foundation (JQ19027), the National Key Research and Development Program of China (2017YFA0205200), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) (61971442, 62027901, 81930053, 92059207, 81227901, 82102236), Beijing Natural Science Foundation (L222054), CAS Youth Interdisciplinary Team (JCTD-2021-08), the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (XDA16021200), the Zhuhai High-level Health Personnel Team Project (Zhuhai HLHPTP201703), the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (JKF-YG-22-B005) and Capital Clinical Characteristic Application Research (Z181100001718178).
