Indocyanine green conjugated lipid microbubbles as an ultrasound-responsive drug delivery system for dual-imaging guided tumor-targeted therapy?
RSC Advances Pub Date: 2018-09-25 DOI: 10.1039/C8RA03193B
Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional traceable and ultrasound-responsive drug targeted delivery system based on indocyanine green (ICG) and folic acid (FA) covalently conjugated lipid microbubbles (ILMBs–FA) is proposed. After encapsulation of the anticancer drug resveratrol (RV), the composite (RILMBs–FA) with fluorescence and ultrasound imaging capacity was studied for highly sensitive dual-imaging guided tumor targeted therapy. The resulting RILMBs–FA with an average particle size of 1.32 ± 0.14 μm exhibited good stability and biocompatibility characteristics. The RILMBs–FA featured a high RV loading ratio and the encapsulated RV has been demonstrated to be released from the microbubbles triggered by ultrasound (US) waves. In addition, it was found that the linked FA could facilitate a high cellular uptake of RILMBs–FA via the FA receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. Compared to free RV and RILMBs, RILMBs–FA with US irradiation demonstrated a more significant tumor cell-killing efficacy mediated by apoptosis in vitro. Eight hours post intravenous injection of RILMBs–FA, the composites showed maximum accumulation in tumorous tissues according to in vivo fluorescence and US images. This ultimately led to the best tumor inhibition effect among all tested drugs under US irradiation. In vivo biosafety evaluations showed that RILMBs–FA featured high biocompatibility characteristics and no significant systemic toxicity over the course of one month. Taken in concert, these results demonstrate the versatility of this drug delivery system with dual-imaging and ultrasound-triggered drug release characteristics for potential future applications in cancer theranostics.
