研究実績の概要 |
In 2023, the objective was to assess the characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) at the cellular level. Both micelles and NPs were labeled with Alexa 488 and Cy5.5, respectively. Co-localization was confirmed before and after internalization into TNBC/MDR cell cytosol. Approximately 6 hours post-internalization, the micelle signal was observed within the nucleus, while the NP signal remained in the cytosol. We observed time-dependent signal clearance and nucleus degradation during our investigation.

理由
The cellular internalization and nucleus target images were obtained. Furthermore, the translocation of EGFR was confirmed by super-resolution imaging microscopy (STORM). To step forward fast, animal orthotropic breast cancer model was set up the condition. To induce the tumor, the parental and drug-resistant cell lines inoculated number and growth condition was confirmed.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In 2024, an animal study will be conducted to assess the pharmacokinetic properties of size-adjustable nanoparticles (NPs). The animal protocol has been duly approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of Kumamoto University in 2023. In order to demonstrate the considerable promise of nucleus-targeted drug delivery, the effectiveness of a scramble peptide will be assessed concurrently. Comprehensive evaluations will encompass histological analysis, liver function testing (to ascertain NP cytotoxicity), and assessment of NP blood circulation. Additionally, efforts will commence to compile the findings for publication in a scholarly journal.
