| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, small heat shock protein 16.5 (Hsp16.5)-based nanocages conjugated to gadolinium(III)-chelated contrast agents and iRGD peptides (which target neuropilin-1 expressed on pancreatic cancer cells) were developed. To investigate whether template size influences relaxivity, nanocages with one to four hydrophobic domains were designed. MRI data showed that larger nanocages had higher T1 relaxivity than smaller nanocages, which resulted from a reduction in molecular tumbling rates caused by an increase in nanocage size, and a robust cage structure resulting from the introduction of hydrophobic domains. For in vivo MRI studies, molecular MRI with protein nanocages was enabled to detect neuropilin-1-positive cells and to produce strong signal enhancement of spontaneous pancreatic tumors in KPC genetically engineered mouse models.
