Description

Suitable for MRI/PA and the multi-mode self-assembled nanometer probe of other imagings
Technical field
The invention belongs to bioprobe field, and in particular to a kind of multi-mode suitable for MRI/PA and other imagings is from group Dress nano-probe and its application.
Background technology
Molecular imaging (Molecular Imaging) is following most one of medical science Disciplinary Frontiers of development potentiality, It includes plurality of medical image technology, such as:Positron emission computerized tomography (PET), X ray computer fault imaging (CT), NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-imaging (MRI), optical imagery (including bioluminescence, fluorescence, near-infrared spectroscopy), ultra sonic imaging (US) etc..Different image technologies differ from one another, also each defective, therefore multi-pattern Fusion becomes current research and development heat Point.With the high speed development of multi-pattern Fusion image documentation equipment, PET/CT, PET/MR, photoacoustic imaging (PA, PAUS) are occurred in that in succession Deng new technique, by combination among the strong ones, have complementary advantages, be expected to organically combine fine anatomical structure and molecular function information, more The good morning for realizing disease is anti-, early diagnosis, it is early control, help clinician to suit the remedy to the case, realize individualized treatment, so as to mitigate patient Pain and financial burden, the health of the mankind is significant.By taking PET/MRI as an example, PET has high sensitivity, function The characteristic of imaging, and MRI has high-resolution to soft tissue, can accurately provide Anatomical orientation information, the two joint, may be implemented in Physiology, the noinvasive of pathological process, real-time, reproducible are carried out on molecular level, in diseases such as nervous system, tumor, cardiovascular There is in terms of sick diagnosis unique value.Photoacoustic imaging (PA) is a kind of image technology for developing rapidly in recent years, and which utilizes has The tissue of light absorbs can produce local sound source, i.e. PA effects, and different physiological parameters are known so as to according to the situation of light absorbs, The concentration and oxygen saturation of such as intravital hemoglobin, melanin, water, ion etc..
, up to 5-7cm, spatial resolution is up to submillimeter level for the penetration depth of PA, it is easier to realize clinical conversion.Therefore light Sound imaging is also the imaging pattern of a kind of potential structure, function and molecule.
If PET/MRI is combined with PA imaging techniques, fine anatomical structure and the PA that PET/MRI can be imaged into The molecular function information of the deep layer of picture is effectively integrated, and is obtained with space and temporal information, three-dimensional, Crestor in synchronization The high quality graphic of amount, makes imaging with the high sensitivity and high specific to minimal disease, it is possible to provide comprehensive information.But It is that, in current medical imaging field, the correlation technique of tri- schema mergings of PET/MRI/PA imaging is rarely reported.
To realize that multi-pattern Fusion is imaged, the successful exploitation of multi-mode probe is one of important prerequisite.Exploitation multi-mode is visited The purpose of pin is:1) imaging of different mode is capable of achieving using a kind of contrast medium;2) concordance of target area signal is realized, no There is a problem of because causing signal distributions different using different contrast medium.At present, in multi-mode probe, nano material conduct There are reports for the probe of carrier.By taking CNT (CNT) as an example, first, CNT itself carries fluorescence, can be used for near-infrared Optical imagery, while strong absorptions of the CNT near infrared region can be additionally used in optoacoustic imaging;Secondly, metal is needed in CNT preparation process (such as Co, Fe etc.) catalysis, still has the ferrum of residual after purification, can be used as magnetic resonance contrast agent.In addition, CNT can also carry out various repairing Decorations, to realize improving its quantum efficiency, strengthen photoacoustic signal, strengthen nuclear magnetic signal, produce PET signal and other effects.Although nanometer The great prospect of application of the material in multi-mode probe, but due to its process controllability, stability, biocompatibility, degradable Property, the focus of the always dispute such as toxicity, body absorption and removement performance, therefore, still fail so far to be applied to clinic.
In the nano-carrier reported at present, have using ferritin or apoferritin as the probe of nano-carrier.For example, In Chinese patent literature CN102462847A, make the carrier of tumor target direction contrast agent using apoferritin, contrast agent is wrapped up Wherein, targeting is enriched to tumor tissues position, and then carries out NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-imaging.Ferritin is natural ferrum storage protein, is gone Ferrum ferritin (Apoferritin) is the nonferrous existence form of ferritin (ferritin).Ferritin and apoferritin can Degradation in vivo, safety non-toxic, non-immunogenicity.Simultaneously as many tumor cell surfaces can be special with great expression ferritin Specific receptor, can produce endocytosis to ferritin and apoferritin by the combination mediation of transferrin receptor-ferritin and make With, therefore, ferritin and apoferritin also have preferable targeting to tumor cell.Above-mentioned contrast agent is with apoferritin As carrier, although avoid nano material as carrier probe generally have biocompatibility, degradability, toxicity, Body absorption and removement performance problem, and there is preferable targeting, but, it is only capable of realizing NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-imaging, if it is desired to sharp It is carrier with ferritin or apoferritin, carries out the imaging of tri- schema mergings of PET/MRI/PA, then face problems with:1) at present Conventional PET positron radionuclides are the aniones such as C, F, I, and when being marked on ferritin or apoferritin, complex steps are difficult Degree is high, and low yield is big to operator's irradiation dose;2) ferritin or apoferritin itself do not have optical property, adopt PA imagings are capable of achieving from the ultraviolet melanin for there are light absorbs near infrared region.Melanin (melanin) is a kind of biochrome, It is widely present in animal, plant and protista body, is L-Tyrosine or 3,4- dihydroxy phenylpropyl alcohol ammonia through a succession of chemical reaction Formed, with multiple biological activities such as antioxidation, antitumor, venom, antiviral, hepatoprotective, radioprotectives, commodity at present Change.But, when melanin is loaded on ferritin or apoferritin carrier, it is larger to be not only due to melanin particle diameter, insoluble The organic solvent (ethanol, hexane, acetone, stupid, chloroform etc.) of Yu Shui, acid and routine, is dissolved only in alkali, meets oxidant and easily decolourizes, difficult To load on carrier, and, it is even more important that when the melanin for PA imagings and the common metal for MRI imagings In the presence of ion is common, as melanic metal chelation abilities are strong, the common metal ion of MRI imagings is run into (such as Fe3+) when Easily precipitate, even if modifying to melanin, modified for example with Polyethylene Glycol, also can only improve molten to a certain extent Load capacity of the melanin to metal ion in liquid, it is impossible to reach MRI imagings and the concentration needed for PA imagings, the signal of MRI and PA Low intensity, sensitivity are also extremely low.
