JS-K Combined with a Melanin-Based Theranostic Agent: A Novel Sequential Delivery Strategy to Enhance the Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
Analytical Chemistry 2024 March 2
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy with a 5 year survival rate less than 12%. This malignancy is closely related to the unique tumor microenvironment (TME), which is characterized by a hypovascular and hyperdense extracellular matrix, making it difficult for drugs to permeate the tumor center. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, which has high sensitivity and resolution, may improve the survival rate of PDAC patients. In this study, we first used JS-K (O2 -(2,4-dinitrophenyl) 1-[(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazine-1-yl] diazene-1-ium-1,2-diolate) to specifically dilate blood vessels within the TME of PDAC patients and subsequently injected IR820-PEG-MNPs (IPM NPs) to diagnose and treat orthotopic PDAC. We found that JS-K promoted the accumulation of IPM NPs in orthotopic Pan02 tumor-bearing mice and was able to increase the tumor signal-to-background ratio (SBR) in the orthotopic PDAC area by 41.5%. In addition, surgical navigation in orthotopic Pan02 tumor-bearing mice and complete tumor resection based on fluorescence imaging were achieved with a detection sensitivity of 81.0%. Moreover, we verified the feasibility of the combination of laparoscopy and photothermal ablation (PTA) for the treatment of PDAC. Finally, we demonstrated that IPM NPs had greater affinity for human PDAC tissues than for normal pancreatic tissues ex vivo , preliminarily highlighting the potential for clinical translation of these NPs. In conclusion, we developed and validated a novel sequential delivery strategy that promotes the accumulation of nanoagents in the tumor area and can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of PDAC.
