| 1 | Development of exosome membrane materialsfused microbubbles for enhanced stability and efficient drug delivery of ultrasound contrast agent显示文摘Lipid-coated microbubbles are widely used as an ultrasound contrast agent,as well as drug delivery carriers.However,the two main limitations in ultrasound diagnosis and drug delivery using microbubbles are the short half-life in the blood system,and the difficulty of surface modification of microbubbles for active targeting.The exosome,a type of extracellular vesicle,has a preferentially targeting ability for its original cell.In this study,exosome-fused microbubbles(Exo-MBs)were developed by embedding the exosome membrane proteins into microbubbles.As a result,the stability of Exo-MBs is improved over the conventional microbubbles.On the same principle that under the exposure of ultrasound,microbubbles are cavitated and self-assembled into nano-sized particles,and Exo-MBs are self-assembled into exosome membrane proteins-embedded nanoparticles(Exo-NPs).The Exo-NPs showed favorable targeting properties to their original cells.A photosensitizer,chlorin e6,was loaded into Exo-MBs to evaluate therapeutic efficacy as a drug carrier.Much higher therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy was confirmed,followed by cancer immunotherapy from immunogenic cell death.We have therefore developed a novel ultrasound image-guided drug delivery platform that overcomes the shortcomings of the conventional ultrasound contrast agent and is capable of simultaneous photodynamic therapy and cancer immunotherapy. | Yongho Jang Jeehun Park Pilsu Kim Eun-Joo Park Hyungjin Sun Yujin Baek Jaehun Jung Tai-kyong Song Junsang Doh Hyuncheol Kim | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023，13，12： | 1 |
