We are investigating the combination of microbubble-based targeted drug delivery and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging as a potential therapy to reduce incidence of restenosis following stent placement in atherosclerotic coronary arteries. The goal of these studies was to determine whether IVUS could be used to detect targeted microbubbles and enhance drug/gene delivery through targeting. Quiescent vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were stimulated with cytokine IL-1β to induce the inflammatory cell surface marker vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). Molecular-targeted (VCAM-1 Ab or IgG control Ab), fluorescent-labeled microbubbles were conjugated with plasmid DNA expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP, pMax-GFP) and exposed to the inflamed SMCs under flow to measure adhesion compared with control microbubbles. Gene delivery was performed using a modified IVUS catheter to generate 1.5-MHz ultrasound at 200 kPa. Detection of adherent microbubbles to inflamed SMCs in culture and flow chambers was measured using an IVUS catheter and scanner. VCAM-1-targeted microbubbles enhanced adhesion to inflamed SMCs 100-fold over nontargeted microbubbles. Compared with noninflamed SMCs, VCAM-1-targeted microbubbles exhibited a 7.9-fold increase in adhesion to IL-1β-treated cells. Targeted microbubbles resulted in a 5.5-fold increase in plasmid DNA transfection over nontargeted microbubbles in conjunction with a focused 2.54-cm (1-in) diameter 1-MHz transducer and also enhanced transfection by the modified IVUS transducer at 1.5 MHz. Targeted microbubbles (at a density of 3 × 104microbubbles/mm2) increased IVUS image intensity 13.2 dB over non-microbubble-coated surfaces. Rupture of microbubbles from the modified IVUS transducer resulted in a 53% reduction in image intensity. Taken together, these results indicate that IVUS may be used to detect targeted microbubbles to inflamed vasculature and subsequently deliver a gene/drug locally.
