This study developed a humanized bispecific antibody, mPEG×HER2, to confer tumor specificity on various PEGylated nanoparticles for multimodality imaging in breast cancer. The researchers utilized a one-step formulation to modify different nanoprobes, demonstrating that the modified agents specifically targeted HER2-positive MCF7 cells while avoiding HER2-negative counterparts. In vivo experiments showed significant increases in nanoprobe accumulation within HER2-overexpressing tumors, enhancing both sensitivity and contrast intensity compared to untargeted probes. Relevance to endometriosis: The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Developing a universal strategy to improve the specificity and sensitivity of PEGylated nanoaparticles (PEG-NPs) for assisting in the diagnosis of tumors is important in multimodality imaging. Here, we developed the anti-methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) bispecific antibody (BsAb; mPEG×HER2), which has dual specificity for mPEG and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), with a diverse array of PEG-NPs to confer nanoparticles with HER2 specificity and stronger intensity. Result: We used a one-step formulation to rapidly modify the nanoprobes with mPEG×HER2 and optimized the modified ratio of BsAbs on several PEG-NPs (Lipo-DiR, SPIO, Qdot and AuNP). The αHER2/PEG-NPs could specifically target MCF7/HER2 cells (HER2+) but not MCF7/neo1 cells (HER2-). The αHER2/Lipo-DiR and αHER2/SPIO could enhance the sensitivity of untargeted PEG-NPs on MCF7/HER2 (HER2+). In in vivo imaging, αHER2/Lipo-DiR and αHER2/SPIO increased the specific targeting and enhanced mPEG-nanoprobe accumulation 161% and 187%, respectively, in HER2-overexpressing tumors. Conclusion: mPEG×HER2, therefore, provided a simple one-step formulation to confer HER2-specific targeting and enhanced sensitivity and contrast intensity on HER2 positive tumors for multimodality imaging.

The αHER2/PEG-NPs could specifically target MCF7/HER2 cells (HER2+) but not MCF7/neo1 cells (HER2-). The αHER2/Lipo-DiR and αHER2/SPIO could enhance the sensitivity of untargeted PEG-NPs on MCF7/HER2 (HER2+). In in vivo imaging, αHER2/Lipo-DiR and αHER2/SPIO increased the specific targeting and enhanced mPEG-nanoprobe accumulation 161% and 187%, respectively, in HER2-overexpressing tumors. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: mPEG×HER2, therefore, provided a simple one-step formulation to confer HER2-specific targeting and enhanced sensitivity and contrast intensity on HER2 positive tumors for multimodality imaging.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Humanized Bispecific Antibody (mPEG×HER2) Rapidly Confers PEGylated nanoaparticles Tumor Specificity for Multimodality Imaging in Breast Cancer","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2020-05-17 20:40:22","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-28604/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"","date":"2020-06-13T12:00:00+00:00","index":2,"fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2020-06-07T12:00:00+00:00","index":1,"fulltext":"Recommendation: Reviewer's comments unavailable due to the journal's policy.\n"},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"","date":"2020-05-25T12:00:00+00:00","index":1,"fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2020-05-23T12:00:00+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2020-05-12T12:00:00+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"","date":"2020-05-11T12:00:00+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2020-05-11T12:00:00+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2020-05-11T12:00:00+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"journal-of-nanobiotechnology","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"jnan","sideBox":"Learn more about [Journal of Nanobiotechnology](http://jnanobiotechnology.biomedcentral.com)","snPcode":"12951","submissionUrl":"https://submission.nature.com/new-submission/12951/3","title":"Journal of Nanobiotechnology","twitterHandle":"@BioMedCentral","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"BMC/SO AJ","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"581fcfa9-89d6-484d-bbbd-2b3e8b1311e4","owner":[],"postedDate":"May 17th, 2020","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":101578,"name":"Nanoscience"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2020-09-03T15:58:30+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-28604","link":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-020-00680-9","journal":{"identity":"journal-of-nanobiotechnology","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Journal of Nanobiotechnology"},"publishedOn":"2020-08-27 12:00:00","publishedOnDateReadable":"August 27th, 2020"},"versionCreatedAt":"2020-05-17 20:40:22","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1186/s12951-020-00680-9","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-020-00680-9","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-28604","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-28604","identity":"rs-28604","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"GqpaHPwrfC8PjnIFayRh5","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}

My notes (saved in your browser only)

⚙ Ask this paper AI returns verbatim quotes from the full text · source: preprint-html ⓘ

Answers must be backed by verbatim quotes from this paper's full text. Hallucinated quotes are dropped automatically; if no verbatim passage answers the question, we say so. How this works

Citation neighborhood (no data yet)

We don't have any in-corpus citations linked to this paper yet. The paper's references may be in our DB but unresolved to ``paper_id`` (resolution happens at ingest when the cited DOI matches a row we already have). Run the cross-source citation reconcile pass to retry.
