Current methods are inadequate for rapid detection of earlyndisease, revealing flat lesions, and delineating tumor margins withnaccuracy and molecular specificity. Fluorescence endoscopy can generatenwide field-of-view images enabling detection of CRC lesions and margins;nincreased signal intensity and improved signal-to-noise ratios cannincrease both speed and sensitivity of cancer detection. For thisnpurpose, we developed targeted near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent silicannanoparticles (FSNs). We tuned their size to 50–200 nm andnconjugated their surface with an antibody to carcinoembryonic antigenn(CEA) to prepare CEA-FSNs. The physicochemical properties and biodegradablenprofiles of CEA-FSN were characterized, and molecular targeting wasnverified in culture using HT29 (CEA positive) and HCT116 (CEA negative)ncells. CEA-FSNs bound to the HT29 cells to a greater extent than tonthe HCT116 cells, and smaller CEA-FSNs were internalized into HT29ncells more efficiently than larger CEA-FSNs. After intravenous administrationnof CEA-FSNs, a significantly greater signal was observed from thenCEA-positive HT29 than the CEA-negative HCT116 tumors in xenograftednmice. In F344-PIRC rats, polyps in the intestine were detected bynwhite-light endoscopy, and NIR fluorescent signals were found in thenexcised intestinal tissue after topical application of CEA-FSNs. Immunofluorescencenimaging of excised tissue sections demonstrated that the particlensignals coregistered with signals for both CRC and CEA. These resultsnindicate that CEA-FSNs have potential as a molecular imaging markernfor early diagnosis of CRC.","PeriodicalId":523701,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1753-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147920461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
