Novel Linear Peptides with High Affinity to αvβ3 Integrin for Precise Tumor Identification
Development of alternative linear peptides for targeting αvβ3 integrin has attracted much attention, as the traditional peptide ligand, cyclic RGD, is limited by inferior water-solubility and complex synthesis. Using pharmacophore-based virtual screening and high-throughput molecular docking, we identified two novel linear small peptides RWr and RWrNM with high affinity and specificity to αvβ3 ...
متن کاملβ3-specific Dual-modality Micellar Nanoprobes
Multimodality tumor-specific nanoprobes that incorporate two or more imaging functionalities are becoming an integral part of early detection, molecular diagnosis and post-therapy assessment of cancer (1,2). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging are two complementary imaging modalities that provide superb anatomical and functional imaging information, respectively. Here we report...
متن کاملA concise review of magnetic resonance molecular imaging of tumor angiogenesis by targeting integrin αvβ3 with magnetic probes
Angiogenesis is an essential step for the growth and spread of malignant tumors. Accurate detection and quantification of tumor angiogenesis is important for early diagnosis of cancers as well as post therapy assessment of antiangiogenic drugs. The cell adhesion molecule integrin αvβ3 is a specific marker of angiogenesis, which is highly expressed on activated and proliferating endothelial cell...
متن کاملSynergistic targeting of alphavbeta3 integrin and galectin-1 with heteromultivalent paramagnetic liposomes for combined MR imaging and treatment of angiogenesis.
Effective and specific targeting of nanoparticles is of paramount importance in the fields of targeted therapeutics and diagnostics. In the current study, we investigated the targeting efficacy of nanoparticles that were functionalized with two angiogenesis-specific targeting ligands, an alpha(v)beta(3) integrin-specific and a galectin-1-specific peptide. We show in vitro, using optical techniq...
متن کاملBiological Production of an Integrin αvβ3 Targeting Imaging Probe and Functional Verification
The aim of the present study is to establish a bacterial clone capable of secreting an integrin αvβ3 targeting probe with bioluminescent and fluorescent activities, and to verify its specific targeting and optical activities using molecular imaging. A bacterial vector expressing a fusion of secretory Gaussia luciferase (sGluc), mCherry, and RGD (sGluc-mCherry-RGDX3; GCR), and a control vector e...
