To prepare iodine-131(Collagen-chitosan microspheres (CCMSs) were prepared with type-Ⅰ collagen and chitosan using emulsification-chemical cross-linking method. The size of the CCMSs were determined by electron microscope.CCMSs were synthesized with a smooth and spherical shape and an average diameter of (5.1±1.2) μm. A radiolabeling rate of 86.10% was achieved.Biodegradable CCMSs were successfully prepared and radiolabeled. The

To establish a mouse model bearing human prostate cancer xenograft with bone metastasis by the monitoring with X-Ray, Micro CT, and ¹⁸F-NaF PET/CT.Sixteen male Balb/c nude mice were allocated into control (6 mice) and experimental group (10 mice). In experimental group, the mice were subjected to percutaneous injection of 2×10At 21 d post modeling, the significant radioactive ¹⁸F--NaF signals were found in the tibial intramedullary cavity of all 10 mice in experimental group. The ROI value evaluation showed that SUVBone metastasis model of prostate PC-3 cancer cells were successfully established by intratibial injection. ¹⁸F-NaF PET/CT could detect tumor invasion and bone osteogenesis in the early stage of modeling.

To synthesize and study the specific binding affinity of tumor-penetrating peptide YCCS to non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells in vitro.YCCS peptide was designed by fusing the neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) binding sequence and NSCLC binding peptide CS. YCCS peptide was synthesized and fluorescent labeled with N-terminal FITC. NRP-1 positive human NSCLC cell A549, NRP-1 positive human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231, normal human bronchial epithelium HBE135-E6E7 and human liver cell HL-7702 were incubated respectively, then we observed the specific binding affinity of tumor-penetrating peptide YCCS to NSCLC cells.After treated with 5 μmol/L peptide, significant fluorescent signals of FITC-YCCS peptide were demonstrated only in NSCLC A549 cells but marginal captured signal in MDA-MB-231, normal human HBE135-E6E7 or HL-7702 cells, which revealed specific NSCLC cells binding affinity. In 20 μmol/L treated group, non-specific binding were found in MDA-MB-231 and HL-7702 cells.The results of this novel designed YCCS peptide indicated a promising strategy for improving tumor penetrating with delivery capability of drugs to NSCLC A549 cells when treated with 5 μmol/L peptide.
