Renal-Clearable Ultrasmall Coordination Polymer Nanodots for Chelator-Free 64 Cu-Labeling and Imaging-Guided Enhanced Radiotherapy of Cancer.
ACS Nano 2017 September 27
Developing tumor-homing nanoparticles with integrated diagnostic and therapeutic functions, and meanwhile could be rapidly excreted from the body, would be of great interest to realize imaging-guided precision treatment of cancer. In this study, an ultrasmall coordination polymer nanodot (CPN) based on the coordination between tungsten ions (WVI ) and gallic acid (W-GA) was developed via a simple method. After polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification, PEGylated W-GA (W-GA-PEG) CPNs with an ultrasmall hydrodynamic diameter of 5 nm were rather stable in various physiological solutions. Without the need of chelator molecules, W-GA-PEG CPNs could be efficiently labeled with radioisotope 64 Cu2+ , enabling positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, which reveals efficient tumor accumulation and rapid renal clearance of W-GA-PEG CPNs upon intravenous injection. Utilizing the radio-sensitizing function of tungsten with strong X-ray absorption, such W-GA-PEG CPNs were able to greatly enhance the efficacy of cancer radiotherapy in inhibiting the tumor growth. With fast clearance and little long-term body retention, those W-GA-PEG CPNs exhibited no appreciable in vivo toxicity. This study presents a type of CPNs with excellent imaging and therapeutic abilities as well as rapid renal clearance behavior, promising for further clinic translation.
