Targeted signal-amplifying enzymes enhance MRI of EGFR expression in an orthotopic model of human glioma.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) imaging in brain tumors is essential to visualize overexpression of EGFRvIII variants as a signature of highly aggressive gliomas and to identify patients that would benefit from anti-EGFR therapy. Seeking imaging improvements, we tested a novel pretargeting approach that relies on initial administration of enzyme-linked anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (m...
متن کاملGlucosamine Conjugated Gadolinium (III) Oxide Nanoparticles as a Novel Targeted Contrast Agent for Cancer Diagnosis in MRI
Background: Glucose transporter (Glut), a cellular transmembrane receptor, has a key role in the metabolism of cell glucose and is also associated with various human carcinomas.Objective: In this study, we evaluated a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent for tumor detection based on paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) coated polycyclodextrin (PCD) and mod...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملSuperparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated with epidermal growth factor (SPION–EGF) for targeting brain tumors
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) conjugated with recombinant human epidermal growth factor (SPION-EGF) were studied as a potential agent for magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement of malignant brain tumors. Synthesized conjugates were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. The interacti...
متن کاملDetecting epidermal growth factor receptor tumor activity in vivo during cetuximab therapy of murine gliomas.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Noninvasive molecular imaging of glioma tumor receptor activity was assessed with diagnostic in vivo fluorescence monitoring during targeted therapy. The study goals were to assess the range of use for treatment monitoring and stratification of tumor types using epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) status with administration of fluorescently labeled EGF and det...
