Integrin Targeted Imaging and Therapy
This theme issue provides an overview on the biology and pathology of various integrins as well as in-depth discussion on the use of integrin as targeting molecules for molecular imaging and molecular therapy.
متن کاملIntegrin-targeted imaging and therapy with RGD4C-TNF fusion protein.
This study used integrin alpha v beta3 as a target for tumor-specific delivery of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF). The fusion protein RGD4C-TNF bound specifically to alpha v beta3 as evidenced by cell receptor binding assay and noninvasive micro-positron emission tomography imaging. 64Cu-DOTA-RGD4C-TNF had significantly higher activity accumulation in integrin-positive tumors (U87MG and MDA-M...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeted MR Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical diagnostic imaging modality for integrin targeted imaging, which uses the magnetic resonance of tissue water protons to display tissue anatomic structures with high spatial resolution. Contrast agents are often used in MRI to highlight specific regions of the body and make them easier to visualize. There are four main classes of MRI contras...
متن کاملIntegrin αvβ3-targeted gold nanoshells augment tumor vasculature-specific imaging and therapy
PURPOSE Gold nanoshells (NSs) have already shown great promise as photothermal actuators for cancer therapy. Integrin αvβ3 is a marker that is specifically and preferentially overexpressed on multiple tumor types and on angiogenic tumor neovasculature. Active targeting of NSs to integrin αvβ3 offers the potential to increase accumulation preferentially in tumors and thereby enhance therapy effi...
متن کاملTargeted Agents for Imaging and Therapy
Molecular Imaging allows the visualization of biological processes in vivo, offering new chances for healthcare with respect to early diagnosis and improved therapy. The new field of molecular imaging is boosted by more sensitive imaging systems and the emergence of targeted imaging agents that home in on molecules of interest. This paper describes the principles of molecular imaging and the di...
