S-trans-trans-Farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS) is a Ras inhibitor that exhibits desirable anticancer property and currently undergoing clinical trials for pancreatic cancer (PC). However, its poor water solubility and low bioavailability have severely hampered clinical applications. A strategy to improve FTS bioavailability is to develop a suitable drug delivery method. Here, we use a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) heptamethine carbocyanine (HC) dye conjugated with FTS (to produce FTS-148) as a drug delivery system to enhance FTS bioavailability. We further investigate its tumor-targeting functions. FTS-148 displayed better bioavailability and photophysical property and selective recognition of cancer cells. FTS-148 significantly reduced PC cell proliferation, and more effective than FTS in restricting tumor growth both in a cell-derived xenograft (CDX) model and a patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) model. FTS-148 can specifically recognize PC cells in mice subcutaneous models or rabbit orthotopic models and allows real-time monitoring of the therapeutic effects by NIRF optical imaging. FTS-148 treatment significantly reduced Ras expression in PC cells and increased tumor tissue apoptosis. In short, FTS conjugated with HC dye had enhanced bioavailability and tumor-targeting property. It provides a potential agent for imaging and therapy of PC.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is vital to the regulation of cell growth and proliferation, and it has been taken as a promising target to develop cancer therapies. By reference to the crystal structure of mTOR-PP242, we explored to discover potential ATP-competitive inhibitors of mTOR. Through the integrated use of multiple in silico screenings, the tremendous amount of compounds from the SPECS database were finally reduced to 30. After several rounds of convincing biological tests in A549 cells, the newfound C-4 was identified as a potential ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR. Besides A549 cell proliferation suppression caused by C-4, autophagy was also determined through autophagosome observation and autophagy flux detection in C-4 treated A549 cells. We demonstrated that C-4 could inhibit cell growth and proliferation, and this inhibition may be associated with autophagy.

Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dyes have recently emerged as promising tools for non-invasive imaging of different types of cancers. Here, we explored the potential utility of a NIRF DZ-1 dye, with dual imaging and tumour targeting functions, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We showed the preferential uptake of DZ-1 by HCC cells in vitro and in derived subcutaneous/orthotopic tumour xenografts, accompanied by a minimal effect on normal cells. DZ-1 simplified tumour growth profiling as well, since we were able to correlate NIRF signals with tumour volume and/or tumour-emitting luminescence in mice. Using both orthotopic tumour transplantation and cirrhosis models in parallel, we demonstrated the ability of DZ-1 to differentiate liver tumour from cirrhosis. DZ-1 showed superiority in HCC imaging over indocyanine green by demonstrating significantly enhanced tumour-targeting specificity. At the cellular level, DZ-1 was mainly retained in mitochondria and lysosomes. Additionally, DZ-1 fluorescence spectroscopy has been used for the intraoperative navigation of rabbit liver cancer, to determine surgical margins. We showed that tumor hypoxia and select organic anion-transporting polypeptide genes mediate NIRF dye uptake in HCC, which was supported by clinical evidence. All these findings represent the first evidence that DZ-1 is an effective molecular probe for tumour-specific imaging in HCC, and provide insights into the development of a new generation of imaging agents for intraoperative guidance of cancer surgery.

Objective To knockout Rag2 and IL2rg genes and construct severe combined immunodeficiency mice based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Method Design and synthesis of 25 bp sgRNA were made according to the Rag2 and IL2rg sequences in Genbank. After annealing, sgRNA was cloned into pX330 vector. Recombination plasmid Rag2?sgRNA, IL2rg?sgRN and Cas9 were then transcribed into RNA, these RNA were microinjected into zygotes and the zygotes were transplanted into recipient ICR mice. F0 founders were born and mutated F0 founders mated with wild type mice to obtain F1 generation heterozygous mice. Mutated F1 mice were crossed and got F2 generation homozygous mice. Genotype and phenotype of the knockout mice were identified by sequencing, flow cytometry and xenograft model. Results Rag2?sgRNA and IL2rg?sgRNA recombination plasmids were constructed and transcribed into RNA. After microinjection and mat? ing, F0 founders were born and F2 homozygous mice were obtained. The results of sequencing showed that there were two types of genotype in IL2rg gene, 10 bp or 11 bp deletion;however, there was only one genotype in Rag2 gene, which was 8 bp deletion. Compared with wild?type BALB/c mice, the number of CD3 +, B220 + and NKp46 + cells in peripheral blood of the knockout mice was reduced significantly. After inoculation of human breast cancer cell line SKBR?2HL cells, tumor size in the xenograft mouse model was increased gradually along with time extension. Conclusion CRISPR/Cas9 is an efficient way to mutate Rag2 and IL2rg gene in mice in vivo, leading to aberrant T cells, B cells and NK cells.

Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging agents are promising tools for noninvasive cancer imaging. Here, we explored the tumor-specific targeting ability of NIRF heptamethine carbocyanine MHI-148 dye in cultured gastric cancer cells, gastric cancer cell-derived and patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models. We show that the NIRF dye specifically accumulated in tumor regions of both xenograft models, suggesting the potential utility of the dye for tumor-specific imaging and targeting in gastric cancer. We also demonstrated significant correlations between NIRF signal intensity and tumor volume in PDX models. Mechanistically, the higher cellular uptake of MHI-148 in gastric cancer cells than in normal cells was stimulated by hypoxia and activation of a group of organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) genes. Importantly, this NIRF dye was not retained in inflammatory stomach tissues induced by gastric ulcer in mice. In addition, fresh clinical gastric tumor specimens, when perfused with NIR dye, exhibited increased uptake of NIR dye in situ. Together, these results show the possibility of using NIRF dyes as novel candidate agents for clinical imaging and detection of gastric cancer.
