Abstract:
Objective To develop a superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-based MR probe containing vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) to investigate their biological and chemical properties and targeting effect of colorectal cancer cells in vitro. Methods The anti-VEGF-SPIO probe was fabricated with VEGF antibody and SPIO through chemical method. Its biological and chemical properties and reflexivity were tested with SDS-PAGE and MRL The SW620 cells incubated with anti-VEGF-SPIO probe for 30, 60 and 90 minutes respectively and compared with marrow mesenchymal stem cell at 37℃. The comparison among groups was conducted by using analysis of variance and LSD-t test. The MRI results were confirmed by the Prussian blue staining. The comparison among groups was performed by analysis of variance and factorial experiment. Results SPIO-based MR probe containing VEGF was successfully contributed and isolated. The reflexivity of anti-VEGF-SPIO probe was 0.0426×10~6 mol/s. The immunofluorescence and prussia blue stain proved high expression of VEGF in SW620 cells. Anti-VEGF-SPIO probe and SW620 cellscombined at 37℃ in vitro MRI proved the SW620 cells incubated with anti-VEGF-SPIO probe appeared hypointense on T_2WI and T_2~* WI. MR signal were 392±7,91±8,264±10 for 30, 60 and 90 minutes respectively, which were statistically different from that before incubation 679±12 (F=4735.489, P< 0.01). The intensity decreased most significantly at 60 minutes in vitro. Its MR signal 82±7 were statistically different compared with marrow mesenchymal stem cell 689±43, t=39.167,P<0.05). While SW620 cells incubated without SPIO were not statistically different compared with marrow mesenchymal stem cell, which were 419±59 and 400±41 respectively(t=-0.718,P>0.05). Conclusion Nanoscale iron particles containing the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor molecular probe can evaluate tumor angiogenesis at the receptor level, which provides a new way of the tumor angiogenesis diagnosis and anti-angiogenesis therapy.
