Biomarker-targeted pancreatic tumor imaging has been
investigated by MRI using the anti-biofouling iron oxide
nanoparticle (IONP) previously developed in our group.
This nanomaterial demonstrated an excellent
anti-biofouling effect to prevent the formation of
protein corona and the non-specific cellular uptake. As
a consequence of the excellent anti-biofouling property,
PEG-b-AGE coated IONP conjugated with targeting ligands
showed significantly improved targeting specificity and
efficiency by reducing off-target and non-specific
interactions with biological media. After systemic
administration of IGFR targeted IGF-IONP and
non-targeted BSA-IONP, in vivo MRI showed 44% and 21%
signal intensity drop in pancreatic tumor.
