Physical oncology recognizes tissue stiffness mediated by activation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling as an active modulator of tumorigenesis, treatment resistance and clinical outcome. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive and chemoresistant desmoplastic cancer enriched in CAF. CCA’s stroma...

Many studies have been devoted to adapting the design of gold nanoparticles to efficiently exploit their promising capability to enhance the effects of radiotherapy. In particular, the addition of magnetic resonance imaging modality constitutes an attractive strategy for enhancing the selectivity of radiotherapy since it allows the determination of...

Owing to the high atomic number (Z) of gold element, the gold nanoparticles appear as very promising radiosensitizing agents. This character can be exploited for improving the selectivity of radiotherapy. However, such an improvement is possible only if irradiation is performed when the gold content is high in the tumor and low in the surrounding h...

Ultrasmall polyaminocarboxylate-coated gold nanoparticles (NPs), Au@DTDTPA and Au@TADOTAGA, that have been recently developed exhibit a promising potential for image-guided radiotherapy. In order to render the radiosensitizing effect of these gold nanoparticles even more efficient, the study of their localization in cells is required to better unde...

Biomedical photothermal therapy with optical nanoparticles is based on the conversion of optical energy into heat through three steps : optical absorption, thermal conversion of the absorbed energy and heat transfer to the surrounding medium. The light-to-heat conversion efficiency (LHCE) has become one of the main metric to quantitatively characte...

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the radiosensitizing potential of Au@DTDTPA(Gd) nanoparticles when combined with conventional external X-ray irradiation (RT) to treat GBM. Methods: Complementary biological models based on U87 spheroids including conventional 3D invasion assay, organotypic brain slice cultures, chronic cranial window model...

Nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging modality to treat tumors with both spatial and temporal control provided by light activation. Gold decorated iron oxide nanoflowers (GIONF) are good candidates for PTT due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and light-to-heat conversion. Profound changes in the tumor immune env...

Glioblastoma are characterized by an invasive phenotype, which is thought to be responsible for recurrences and the short overall survival of patients. In the last decade, the promising potential of ultrasmall gadolinium chelate-coated gold nanoparticles (namely Au@DTDTPA(Gd)) was evidenced for image-guided radiotherapy in brain tumors. Considering...

Due to their imaging and radiosensitizing properties, ultrasmall gadolinium chelate-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNP) represent a promising approach in the diagnosis and the treatment of tumors. However, their poor pharmacokinetic profile, especially their rapid renal clearance prevents from an efficient exploitation of their potential for medical a...

Actinium-225 (225Ac) is receiving increased attention for its application in targeted radionuclide therapy, due to the short range of its emitted alpha particles in conjunction with their high linear energy transfer, which lead to the eradication of tumor cells while sparing neighboring healthy tissue. The objective of our study was the evaluation...

Gadolinium chelate coated gold nanoparticles (Au@DTDTPA) can be applied as contrast agents for both in vivo X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. In this work, our aim was to radiolabel and evaluate this gold nanoparticle with Ga-68, in order to produce a dual modality PET/MRI imaging probe. For a typical preparation of 68Ga-labeled nanoparticles,...

Afin d'améliorer la sélectivité de la radiothérapie dans le cadre du traitement de certains cancers, nous proposons l'utilisation de nanoparticules radiosensibilisantes fonctionnalisées pour le suivi par imagerie médicale. Ces objets, constitués d'un coeur d'or recouvert d'une couche organique, permettent de combiner imagerie multimodale et activit...

Gold nanoparticles coated by gadolinium (III) chelates (Au@DTDTPA) where DTDTPA is a dithiolated bisamide derivative of diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentaacetic acid (DTPA), constituted contrast agents for both X-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In an MRI context, highly stable Gd3+ complexes are needed for in vivo appli...
