目的探讨携紫杉醇(Pac)和注射用曲妥珠单克隆抗体(Herceptin)高分子造影剂(Pac.PLGA—HER)联合超声体外寻靶能力及显影效果。方法通过双乳化法和碳二亚胺法制备载Pac靶向高分子造影剂。将MCF-7细胞种植于12个培养皿中,培养24h,分为4组,每组3个:非靶向造影剂组(Pac—PLGA组)、靶向造影剂组(Pac—PLGA—HER组)、靶向造影剂+超声组(Pac—PLGA—HER+超声组)和抗体封闭组。在激光共聚焦显微镜下对比观察高分子造影剂与细胞的结合能力。观察体外显影效果,并用DFY型定量仪进行定量,采用独立样本t检验进行统计学分析。结果靶向载Pac高分子造影剂平均粒径为(596±12)nm,体外寻靶能力实验显示靶向载Pac高分子造影剂可与MCF-7细胞大量结合。体外显影实验示靶向与非靶向载Pac高分子造影剂平均声强分别为(134.50±10.19)和(135.11±11.49)dB,平均灰阶分别为147.83±11.12和148.50±12.63,两者比较差异均无统计学意义(t均为一0.097,P均〉0.05)。结论携Pac和Herceptin的高分子造影剂对高表达HER2的人乳腺癌MCF-7有较强的结合能力,在体外显影实验中有较好的显影效果。
Objective To further explore the affinity of paclitaxel-loaded and trastuzumab (Her- ceptin)-targeted poly( lactic-co-glycolic acid, PLGA)-COOH ultrasound contrast agent (Pac-PLGA-HER) for human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and study their effect on ultrasound imaging in vitro. Methods Paclitaxel-loaded PLGA-COOH ultrasound contrast agents (Pac-PLGA) were prepared by the double emul- sion technique and conjugated with Herceptin monoclonal antibody by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl- carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N-hyalroxysuccinimide (NHS). MCF-7 cells were plated in culture di- shes for 24 h and divided into 4 groups with 3 dishes in each group, i.e. Pac-PLGA group, Pae-PLGA- HER group, ultrasound + Pac-PLGA-HER group and antibody blocking group. Binding of polymer ultra- sound contrast agents to MCF-7 cells was observed by laser scanning eonfocal microscopy. In vitro experi- ments were employed to study the effects of Pac-PLGA-HER on the enhancement of ultrasound imaging as compared with Pac-PLGA, the control group. Independent samples t-test was used for statistical analysis with the help of DFY. Results The average diameter of Pac-PLGA-HER was (596 -+ 12) nm. In the in vitro targeting study, a number of Pac-PLGA-HER bound with MCF-7 cells tightly; while, no conjugation was ob- served in the control group. During in vitro ultrasound imaging, the average sound intensity of Pac-PLGA- HER and Pac-PLGA was ( 134.50 ~ 10. 19) and ( 135.11 + 11.49) dB ( t = - 0. 097, P 〉 0.05) and the average grey scale was 147.83 + 11.12 and 148.50 ~ 12.63 ( t = - 0. 097, P 〉 0.05 ), respectively. There was no difference between the two. Conclusion Pac-PLGA-HER could bind to high HER2-expressingMCF-7 cells specifically and effectively and was an effective ultrasound contrast agent in vitro.
