项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Normal cell division needs the formation of a mitotic spindle apparatus, which is directly related to microtubule (MT) assembly. Thus, if the MT assembly is inhibited by tubulin-binding agents, the mitotic spindle functions will be perturbed, resulting in the inhibition of cell division at the metaphase/anaphase transition of mitosis. Therefore, tubulin-binding agents are anti-cancer drugs that can inhibit cell division by perturbing the MT assembly and cause cancer cell death. However, the current tubulin-binding anti-cancer drugs cannot specifically recognize cancer cells and serve as imaging probes. Our lab has recently used phage display technique to successfully identify two types of peptides: tubulin-binding peptides and SKBR-3 breast cancer cell-targeting/internalizing peptides. Moreover, we have developed expertise in the synthesis of lanthanide ion doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and their utilization as cancer cell imaging probes. In contrast to the down-conversion nanoparticles such as the widely used quantum dots (QDs), the UCNPs can be excited by a longer wavelength light such as near infrared (NIR) light (e.g., 980 nm) to emit a shorter wavelength light (e.g., green light). Due to their ability to be excited by NIR light, whic can penetrate cells and tissues relatively deeply, UCNPs can be used for cell/tissue imaging without causing either autofluorescence from or photodamage to the biomolecules, cells and tissues. This project is based on these successes and will conjugate both tubulin-binding and cancer-targeting/internalizing peptides onto the surface of UCNPs. Our hypothesis is that core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (Rare-earth doped ?-NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanocrystal as a core and silica as a shell) with both tubulin-binding and SKBR-3 breast cancer cell- targeting/internalizing peptides conjugated to the surface will (1) recognize the breast cancer cells and be internalized; (2) bind tubulins to interrupt intracellular MT assembly, inhibit cell proliferation and cause cell death in vitro and in vivo; and (3) enable the selective fluorescent imaging of the cancer cells and tumor tissues under NIR excitation. We will carry out two specific aims: (1) Aim 1: Evaluate the in vitro MT assembly in the presence of UCNPs with both tubulin-binding peptides and SKBR-3 cancer cell-targeting/internalizing peptides conjugated to the surface to understand how cell-targeting tubulin-binding UCNPs interrupt MT assembly in vitro. (2) Aim 2: Evaluate in vitro SKBR-3 breast cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle as well as in vitro and in vivo targeted cancer cell imaging and killing after SKBR-3 cells interact with the cell-targeting tubulin-binding UCNPs in vitro or in vivo. This project will advance the targete cancer treatment and diagnosis by developing targeted cancer imaging and therapeutic agents. The cancer-targeting tubulin-binding UCNPs developed in this project are multi-functional theranostic agents that can target and kill cancer cells and at the same time be fluorescently detected and tracked inside the cancer cells and tumor tissues.
描述(申请人提供):正常的细胞分裂需要有丝分裂纺锤体的形成,这与微管(MT)组装直接相关。因此,如果微管蛋白结合剂抑制MT的组装,有丝分裂纺锤体的功能将受到干扰,导致有丝分裂中期/后期细胞分裂受阻。因此,微管蛋白结合剂是一种抗癌药物,可以通过干扰MT组装来抑制细胞分裂,导致癌细胞死亡。然而,目前与微管蛋白结合的抗癌药物不能特异性识别癌细胞并作为成像探针。我们实验室最近利用噬菌体展示技术成功地鉴定了两种类型的多肽:微管结合多肽和SKBR-3乳腺癌细胞靶向/内化多肽。此外,我们在合成稀土离子掺杂上转换纳米粒子(UCNPs)以及将其用作癌细胞成像探针方面发展了专业知识。与诸如广泛使用的量子点(QD)的下转换纳米粒子相比,UCNP可以被诸如近红外(NIR)光(例如,980 nm)之类的较长波长的光激发以发射较短波长的光(例如,绿光)。由于其能够被近红外光激发,可以相对深入地穿透细胞和组织,因此UCNPs可以用于细胞/组织成像,而不会引起生物分子、细胞和组织的自发荧光或光损伤。该项目以这些成功为基础,将微管蛋白结合肽和肿瘤靶向/内化多肽结合到UCNPs表面。我们的假设是,核壳上转换纳米粒子(稀土掺杂?-NaYF4:Yb,Er上转换纳米晶体为核心,二氧化硅为外壳)与微管蛋白结合和SKBR-3乳腺癌细胞靶向/内化多肽连接到表面后,将:(1)识别乳腺癌细胞并被内化;(2)结合微管蛋白中断细胞内MT组装,抑制细胞增殖和导致细胞死亡;(3)能够在近红外激发下对癌细胞和肿瘤组织进行选择性荧光成像。我们将实现两个特定的目标:(1)目标1:评价微管蛋白结合肽和SKBR-3肿瘤细胞靶向/内化多肽同时连接到表面的UCNPs存在下的MT体外组装,以了解细胞靶向微管蛋白结合UCNPs如何干扰体外MT组装。(2)目的2:评价SKBR-3细胞与靶向微管蛋白结合的UCNPs在体内外相互作用后,SKBR-3乳腺癌细胞的增殖和细胞周期以及体内外靶向肿瘤细胞的成像和杀伤作用。该项目将通过开发靶向肿瘤显像剂和治疗剂来推进靶向癌症的治疗和诊断。本项目开发的肿瘤靶向微管蛋白结合UCNPs是一种多功能的治疗药物,可以靶向并杀死癌细胞,同时在癌细胞和肿瘤组织内进行荧光检测和跟踪。
