超声微泡用于脑胶质瘤靶向药物递送
Ultrasonic microbubbles for glioma-targeted drug delivery
-
摘要: 本文用超声微泡可逆地有限开放血脑屏障 (blood-brain barrier, BBB), 为抗肿瘤药物的脑内靶向递送打下基础。建立脑胶质瘤大鼠模型, 探索低频超声 (1 MHz) 结合微泡对脑胶质瘤部位BBB开放的影响, 并与非超声条件下伊文思蓝 (Evans blue, EB) 渗透BBB对比。考察超声的时机和时长对BBB渗透和脑组织的损伤作用。考察脑胶质瘤生长期对BBB渗透性的影响。结果表明, 脑胶质瘤对BBB渗透性影响非常有限; 而超声微泡可短暂有限开放BBB, 并具有可逆性, 可促进EB和核磁增强造影剂渗透BBB。超声时长30 s最合适, 可开放BBB, 并且对脑组织不会造成明显损伤。药物需在超声前注射才能借助BBB开放进入脑。超声微泡可安全有效开放BBB, 控制时机和时长, 能促进药物进入脑胶质瘤和脑组织。Abstract: Ultrasonic microbubbles were used to open blood-brain barriers (BBB) with a reversed and limited behavior feature in the study, which could improve the brain-targeted delivery of anti-tumor drugs. The glioma rat model was prepared. Low-frequency ultrasound was combined with microbubbles to affect the permeability of BBB compared with the permeability of independently administered Evans blue (EB) crossing BBB. Time point and length of ultrasound were investigated whether they affect the permeability of BBB and the damage of brain tissue. The effect of the growth time of glioma on BBB permeability was explored. Only glioma had a very little impact on BBB permeability. However, ultrasonic microbubbles opened the BBB with the features of temporary, limited and reversed behavior and improved EB and magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent penetrating BBB. A length of 30 s ultrasound is appropriate for opening BBB and no damage of brain tissue. Drugs should be injected before ultrasound so that they enter into brain as BBB opening. Ultrasonic microbubbles can open BBB effectively and safely, which improve drugs penetrating BBB under proper time point and length.
