Novel HER2-Targeted Peptide for NIR-II Imaging of Tumor.
Molecular Pharmaceutics 2023 January 21
Molecular targets serve a crucial role in drug development. Herein, we discovered a novel peptide that can specifically target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and thus named it Herceptide. In our study, Herceptide was conjugated to the near-infrared fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) to obtain a probe, ICG-Herceptide. Importantly, specific binding to HER2 was revealed by molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and competition assays. The probe showed high binding affinity ( K D = 1.03 nM) and fast binding property ( k on = 0.44 min-1 ). In vivo near-infrared window two (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging in HER2-overexpressed SKOV3 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated a high tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratio (T/N = 7.3) at 8 h postinjection. In the blocking study, ICG-Herceptide coinjected with Herceptide only showed a weak tumor signal. In other HER2 high-expression tumors, such as non-small-cell lung cancer A549 and gastric cancer MKN45, the tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratios (T/N) were 4.1 and 4.7, respectively. In contrast, HER2 low-expression tumor MDAMB231 shows no imaging contrast between the tumor and normal tissues. Furthermore, tumor resection was successfully performed under the guidance of the ICG-Herceptide-based NIR-II imaging in subcutaneous SKOV3 mice models. The biocompatibility study indicated that the probe had no observable toxicity to cells and tissues. Overall, these results demonstrate that ICG-Herceptide is a promising optical probe for the diagnosis and localization of HER2-overexpressing tumors. Moreover, Herceptide is a novel HER2-targeting peptide and can be further used for developing theranostic agents.
