项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The detection of early carcinoma or dormant or latent metastatic tumor cells remains an elusive but important clinical goal. We seek to develop further revolutionary new nanotechnology that enables optically based detection of metastatic cancer cells. Towards this goal, we will further refine design criteria for near infrared (NIR) emissive polymersomes, a promising new soft matter nanoscale platform for in vivo diagnostic and drug-delivery applications. This program will develop (i) targeted nanoscale (diameter < 100 nm) NIR- emissive polymersomes, (ii) nanoscale NIR-emissive polymersomes having optimized emissive output, (iii) prototype targeted nanoscale vesicles in which the polymeric building blocks are based-upon FDA-approved materials, (iv) targeted NIR-emissive polymersomes with ideal cell-surface adhesion dynamics, and (v) methods and technology that provide not only new insights into metastatic disease, but define an evolvable nanoscale platform for in vivo dormant tumor cell detection, diagnosis, and treatment. These efforts involve correlating NIR fluorophore structure and photophysics, polymersome composition of matter, vesicle mechanical and biological properties, nanoscale NIR-emissive polymersome fluorescence output, and the nature of the cellular targeting motif, with in vivo function and efficacy. As such, the experimental approach we pursue is cross-cutting and integrative, encompassing supramolecular chemical synthesis, photophysical characterization, in vivo imaging, bioengineering, biology, and medicine. We will strive to establish design principles that will ultimately enable real-time detection and identification of limited target cell numbers under clinically relevant diagnostic conditions, and define new tools for the study of metastatic disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：检测早期癌或休眠或潜在转移性肿瘤细胞仍然是一个难以捉摸但重要的临床目标。我们试图开发进一步的革命性新纳米技术，从而可以基于转移性癌细胞的光学检测。为了实现这一目标，我们将进一步完善近红外（NIR）发射聚合物体的设计标准，这是一个有前途的新软物质纳米级平台，用于体内诊断和药物分发应用。 This program will develop (i) targeted nanoscale (diameter < 100 nm) NIR- emissive polymersomes, (ii) nanoscale NIR-emissive polymersomes having optimized emissive output, (iii) prototype targeted nanoscale vesicles in which the polymeric building blocks are based-upon FDA-approved materials, (iv) targeted NIR-emissive polymersomes with ideal细胞表面粘附动力学以及（v）的方法和技术不仅为转移性疾病提供了新的见解，还为体内休眠肿瘤细胞检测，诊断和治疗定义了可转化的纳米级平台。这些努力涉及将NIR荧光团结构和光物理学，物质的多层组成组成，囊泡机械和生物学特性，纳米级nir-nir隔离性多聚荧光输出以及细胞靶向基序的性质，具有体内功能和功效。因此，我们采用的实验方法是横切和综合性，包括超分子化学合成，光物理特征，体内成像，生物工程，生物学和医学。我们将努力建立设计原则，最终将在临床相关的诊断条件下实时检测和鉴定有限的目标细胞数量，并为转移性疾病的研究定义新工具。
