Integrin antagonist complex (IAC), a novel αvβ3 integrin antagonist peptidomimetic, has emerged as a promising agent for molecular imaging of tumor angiogenesis. This study evaluates the biodistribution and clinical efficacy of [Ga]Ga-DOTAGA-IAC PET/CT in detecting radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC), comparing its diagnostic performance with [F]F-FDG PET/CT. In this prospective pilot study, RAIR-DTC patients underwent whole-body imaging with [F] F-FDG PET/CT, followed by [Ga]Ga-DOTAGA-IAC PET/CT.

Theranostics of nuclear medicine refers to the combination of radionuclide imaging and internal irradiation therapy, which is currently a research hotspot and an important direction for the future development of nuclear medicine. Radiopharmaceutical is a vital component of nuclear medicine and serves as one of the fundamental pillars of molecular imaging and precision medicine. At present, a variety of radiopharmaceuticals have been developed for various targets such as fibroblast activation protein (FAP), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2), and integrin αvβ, and some of them have been successfully applied in clinical practice.

Herein, a water-soluble, ultrabright, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent, mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs)-peptide bioconjugate is designed with dual targeting capabilities. Cancer cell surface overexpressed αβ integrin targeting two RGDS tetrapeptide residues is tethered at the macrocycle of MIMs-peptide bioconjugate via Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry on the Wang resin, and mitochondria targeting lipophilic cationic TPP functionality is conjugated at the axle dye. Living carcinoma cell selective active targeting, subsequently cell penetration, mitochondrial imaging, including the ultrastructure of cristae, and real-time tracking of malignant mitochondria by MIMs-peptide bioconjugate (RGDS)-Mito-MIMs-TPP are established by stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.

Heteronemin suppresses EGF‑induced proliferation through the PI3K/PD‑L1 signaling pathways in cholangiocarcinoma.

Oncol Rep

Graduate Institute of Nanomedicine and Medical Engineering, College of Medical Engineering, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 11031, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds with its surface receptor to stimulate gene expression and cancer cell proliferation. EGF stimulates cancer cell growth via phosphoinositide 3‑kinase (PI3K) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‑L1) pathways. As an integrin αvβ3 antagonist, heteronemin exhibits potent cytotoxic effects against cancer cells.

Optimizing Surface Maleimide/cRGD Ratios Enhances Targeting Efficiency of cRGD-Functionalized Nanomedicines.

J Am Chem Soc

Department of Pharmacy, The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Laboratory of Precision and Intelligent Chemistry, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, Anhui Province, China.

Thiol-maleimide (MI) chemistry is a cornerstone of bioconjugation strategies, particularly in the development of drug delivery systems. The cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptide, recognized for its ability to target the integrin αβ, is commonly employed to functionalize maleimide-bearing nanoparticles (NPs) for fabricating cRGD-functionalized nanomedicines. However, the impact of cRGD density on tumor targeting efficiency remains poorly understood.
