Tumor Targeting via Integrin Ligands
Selective and targeted delivery of drugs to tumors is a major challenge for an effective cancer therapy and also to overcome the side-effects associated with current treatments. Overexpression of various receptors on tumor cells is a characteristic structural and biochemical aspect of tumors and distinguishes them from physiologically normal cells. This abnormal feature is therefore suitable fo...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeting for Tumor Optical Imaging
Optical imaging has emerged as a powerful modality for studying molecular recognitions and molecular imaging in a noninvasive, sensitive, and real-time way. Some advantages of optical imaging include cost-effectiveness, convenience, and non-ionization safety as well as complementation with other imaging modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomog...
متن کاملMultimodality tumor imaging targeting integrin αvβ3
The cell adhesion molecule integrin αvβ3 is an important player in the process of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Antibodies, peptides, peptidomimetics, and small molecule antagonists against integrin αvβ3 have been shown to induce endothelial apoptosis, to inhibit tumor angiogenesis, and to increase endothelial permeability. The ability to quantitatively image integrin αvβ3 expression in vi...
متن کاملIntegrin Ligands
Vasoactive effects of soluble matrix proteins and integrin-binding peptides on arterioles are mediated by a v b 3 and a 5 b 1 integrins. To examine the underlying mechanisms, we measured L-type Ca 2 1 channel current in arteriolar smooth muscle cells in response to integrin ligands. Whole-cell, inward Ba 2 1 currents were inhibited after application of soluble cyclic RGD peptide, vitronectin (V...
متن کاملCharacteristics of oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus displaying tumor-targeting ligands.
We sought proof of principle that tumor-targeting ligands can be displayed on the surface of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) by engineering its glycoprotein. Here, we successfully rescued VSVs displaying tumor vasculature-targeting ligands. By using a rational approach, we investigated various feasible insertion sites on the G protein of VSV (VSV-G) for display of tumor vasculature-targeting l...
