项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Curative treatment of local and/or regional breast cancer requires surgery and adjuvant therapy such as thermotherapy. In thermal treatment of breast cancer, the tissue is exposed to high temperatures that damage and kill cancer cells with minimal injury to normal tissues. The overall goal of our research program is to develop an image-guided, molecular specific photothermal therapy of cancer using targeted metal nanoparticles. Specifically, using targeted plasmonic nanosensors and an advanced, in-vivo, noninvasive, functional, molecular specific imaging technology (i.e., integrated ultrasound, photoacoustic and elasticity imaging), photothermal therapy can be greatly improved. Indeed, before the therapeutic procedure, using ultrasound (anatomical and blood flow imaging) and elastography (biomechanical functional imaging), the tumor will be non-invasively imaged to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Furthermore, the delivery and interaction of molecular specific photoabsorbers with cancerous tissue will be imaged using photoacoustics - a technique capable of in-vivo imaging of plasmonic nanoparticles at sufficient depth. During the therapy, the real-time imaging system will be used to guide photothermal therapy by tracking the temperature rise and, therefore, monitoring cancer treatment. Finally, after the therapy, the combined imaging will be used to accurately assess the short-term and the long-term treatment outcome. The central theme of the current application is threefold: to develop multifunctional plasmonic nanoparticles acting as both photoabsorbers for photothermal therapy and contrast agent for molecular and thermal imaging; to design and build a laboratory prototype of the integrated ultrasound, photoacoustic and elasticity imaging system; and to initially test the developed nanoparticles and imaging technology in 3-D tissue phantoms and small animal cancer model ex vivo and in vivo. Therefore, all theoretical and experimental studies will be conducted to evaluate the applicability of the molecular specific, image-guided photothermal therapy to treat cancer. At the end of the study, we will outline the design and technical specifications of a clinical image- guided photothermal therapy system. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal growth of cells. The resulting tumor can invade and destroy the surrounding healthy tissue. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. Breast cancer treatment often requires surgery and adjuvant therapy such as thermotherapy. In thermal treatment of breast cancer the tissue is exposed to high temperatures that damage and kill cancer cells with minimal injury to normal tissues. The primary goal of thermal treatment of cancer is to selectively heat a small volume of cancerous cells leading to tumor necrosis while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue. Thus, to successfully perform photothermal cancer therapy, an imaging technique that can help effectively plan, guide and monitor the photothermal therapy is needed. The overall goal of our research program is to develop the targeted multifunctional nanoparticles and the combined ultrasound, photoacoustic and elasticity imaging system to assist photothermal therapy. Before the therapeutic procedure, the tumor will be non-invasively imaged to develop an appropriate treatment plan. During the therapy, the real-time imaging system will be used to guide photothermal therapy by tracking the temperature rise and monitoring the cancer treatment. Finally, after the therapy, the combined imaging will be used to accurately assess the short-term and the long-term treatment outcome.

描述（由申请人提供）：局部和/或区域性乳腺癌的治愈性治疗需要手术和辅助治疗，如热疗。在乳腺癌的热治疗中，组织暴露在高温下，破坏和杀死癌细胞，对正常组织的损伤最小。我们研究计划的总体目标是开发一种使用靶向金属纳米颗粒的图像引导的分子特异性光热疗法。具体地，使用靶向等离子体纳米传感器和先进的体内非侵入性功能性分子特异性成像技术（即，集成的超声、光声和弹性成像），光热治疗可以得到极大的改善。事实上，在治疗程序之前，使用超声（解剖和血流成像）和弹性成像（生物力学功能成像），肿瘤将被非侵入性成像，以制定适当的治疗计划。此外，分子特异性光吸收剂与癌组织的递送和相互作用将使用光声成像-一种能够在足够深度处对等离子体纳米颗粒进行体内成像的技术。在治疗过程中，实时成像系统将通过跟踪温度上升来指导光热治疗，从而监测癌症治疗。最后，在治疗后，组合成像将用于准确评估短期和长期治疗结果。本申请的中心主题是三方面的：开发多功能等离子体纳米颗粒，其既用作光热治疗的光吸收剂，又用作分子和热成像的造影剂;设计和构建集成超声、光声和弹性成像系统的实验室原型;并在体外和体内的3-D组织模型和小动物癌症模型中初步测试所开发的纳米颗粒和成像技术。因此，所有的理论和实验研究将进行评估的分子特异性，图像引导的光热疗法治疗癌症的适用性。在研究的最后，我们将概述一个临床图像引导光热治疗系统的设计和技术规格。公共卫生相关性：癌症是一种以细胞不受控制的异常生长为特征的疾病。由此产生的肿瘤可以侵入并破坏周围的健康组织。癌症是美国第二大死亡原因，仅次于心脏病。乳腺癌治疗通常需要手术和辅助治疗，如热疗。在乳腺癌的热治疗中，组织暴露于高温，高温破坏并杀死癌细胞，对正常组织的损伤最小。癌症热治疗的主要目标是选择性地加热小体积的癌细胞，导致肿瘤坏死，同时保护周围的健康组织。因此，为了成功地进行光热癌症治疗，需要能够帮助有效地计划、引导和监测光热治疗的成像技术。本研究计划的总体目标是开发靶向多功能纳米颗粒和超声、光声和弹性成像联合系统，以辅助光热治疗。在治疗程序之前，将对肿瘤进行非侵入性成像，以制定适当的治疗计划。在治疗过程中，实时成像系统将通过跟踪温度上升和监测癌症治疗来指导光热治疗。最后，在治疗后，组合成像将用于准确评估短期和长期治疗结果。
