Physicochemical-property guided design of a highly sensitive probe to image nitrosative stress in the pathology of stroke.

ABSTRACT: In vivo real-time imaging of nitrosative stress in the pathology of stroke has long been a formidable challenge due to both the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the elusive nature of reactive nitrogen species, while this task is also informative to gain a molecular level understanding of neurovascular injury caused by nitrosative stress during the stroke episode. Herein, using a physicochemical property-guided probe design strategy in combination with the reaction-based probe design rationale, we have developed an ultrasensitive probe for imaging nitrosative stress evolved in the pathology of stroke. This probe demonstrates an almost zero background fluorescence signal but a maximum 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement in response to peroxynitrite, the nitrosative stress marker. Due to its good physicochemical properties, the probe readily penetrates the BBB after intravenous administration, and quickly accumulates in mice brain to sense local vascular injuries. After accomplishing its imaging mission, the probe is easily metabolized and therefore won't cause safety concerns. These desirable features make the probe competent for the straightforward visualization of nitrosative stress progression in stroke pathology.

Project description:BackgroundGiven the lack of visual discrepancy between malignant and surrounding normal tissue, current breast conserving surgery (BCS) is associated with a high re-excision rate. Due to the increasing cases of BCS, a novel method of complete tumour removal at the initial surgical resection is critically needed in the operating room to help optimize the surgical procedure and to confirm tumour-free edges.MethodsWe developed a unique near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging probe, ICG-p28, composed of the clinically nontoxic tumour-targeting peptide p28 and the FDA-approved NIR dye indocyanine green (ICG). ICG-p28 was characterized in vitro and evaluated in multiple breast cancer animal models with appropriate control probes. Our experimental approach with multiple-validations and -blinded procedures was designed to determine whether ICG-p28 can accurately identify tumour margins in mimicked intraoperative settings.FindingsThe in vivo kinetics were analysed to optimize settings for potential clinical use. Xenograft tumours stably expressing iRFP as a tumour marker showed significant colocalization with ICG-p28, but not ICG alone. Image-guided surgery with ICG-p28 showed an over 6.6 × 103-fold reduction in residual normalized tumour DNA at the margin site relative to control approaches (i.e., surgery with ICG or palpation/visible inspection alone), resulting in an improved tumour recurrence rate (92% specificity) in multiple breast cancer animal models independent of the receptor expression status. ICG-p28 allowed accurate identification of tumour cells in the margin to increase the complete resection rate.InterpretationOur simple and cost-effective approach has translational potential and offers a new surgical procedure that enables surgeons to intraoperatively identify tumour margins in a real-time, 3D fashion and that notably improves overall outcomes by reducing re-excision rates.FundingThis work was supported by NIH/ National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, R01EB023924.
