| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sonoporation is a drug and gene delivery system using ultrasonication that allows the intracellular delivery of foreign molecules that cannot enter cells under normal conditions.In this study, we developed anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody-conjugated Microbubbles (EGFR-MBs) and evaluated their capacity to enhance anti-cancer drug toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Bleomycin delivery using sonoporation with EGFR-MBs was significantly more toxic to the cells compared with the other groups.We next examined the effect of EGFR-MBs in a murine squamous cell carcinoma model. Bleomycin delivery by sonoporation with EGFR-MBs exhibited remarkable antitumor activity.
We focused novel platinum nanoparticles-conjugated latex beads, platinum nanocomposite(PtNCP) beads, and investigated the possibility to incorporate novel anti-cancer effect of these combined nanoparticles. PtNCP beads treatment suppressed tumor growth and identified increasing pathological necrotic areas, in vivo.

舌癌などは、表層から超音波を当てることができ，ソノポレーション法を用いる部位として適している．抗EGFR抗体修飾マイクロバブルは表面が水溶性ポリエチレングリコールで修飾されているため，肝臓などを中心とする細網内皮系組織の貪食細胞に処理されず，血中に長時間循環滞留することができる．バブルに抗EGFR抗体を結合させることにより，より選択的に癌局所へ抗癌物質を集積することができる．これらのバブルを用いれば，ターゲットとなる癌組織にバブルを集積させ，体外からの超音波診断とともに，治療用超音波エネルギーで，非侵襲的に抗癌剤を導入できる．口腔癌の治療を始め，様々な難治性疾患の治療に応用可能である．
