タイトル An Activatable Fluorescent γ-Polyglutamic Acid Complex for Sentinel Lymph Node Imaging.
ジャーナル Biol Pharm Bull
Abstract Sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) are the first lymph nodes (LN) where cancer cells metastasize from the primary tumor. We designed fluorophore-quencher-based activatable nanoparticles for SLN imaging. We selected TAMRA as a fluorophore and BHQ2 or QSY7 as a quencher. Ternary anionic complexes were constructed with generation 4th polyamidoamine dendrimer (G4) modified with TAMRA and p-SCN-Bn-DTPA (DTPA), polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified with BHQ2 or QSY7, and γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) by the electrostatic self-assembly system. TAMRA-G4-DTPA/PEI-BHQ2/γ-PGA and TAMRA-G4-DTPA/PEI-QSY7/γ-PGA complexes had a particle size of about 40 nm and a ζ-potential of -50 mV, and showed fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) quenching. Fluorescence microscopy studies demonstrated that TAMRA-G4-DTPA/PEI-QSY7/γ-PGA complex produced intracellular fluorescent signals in the lysosome. During in vivo fluorescent imaging, TAMRA-G4-DTPA/PEI-QSY7/γ-PGA complex enabled the detection of mouse popliteal LN. The fluorophore-quencher conjugated γ-PGA complex based on FRET quenching would be useful for fluorescence-based optical imaging of SLN.
