Title: Red fluorescent zinc oxide nanoparticle: A novel platform for cancer targeting

Abstract

Multifunctional zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) with well-integrated multimodality imaging capacities have generated increasing research interest in the past decade. However, limited progress has been made in developing ZnO NP-based multimodality tumor-imaging agents. Here we developed novel red fluorescent ZnO NPs and described the successful conjugation of 64Cu (t1/2 = 12.7 h) and TRC105, a chimeric monoclonal antibody against CD105, to these ZnO NPs via well-developed surface engineering procedures. The produced dual-modality ZnO NPs were readily applicable for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and fluorescence imaging of the tumor vasculature. Their pharmacokinetics and tumor-targeting efficacy/specificity in mice bearing murine breast 4T1 tumor were thoroughly investigated. ZnO NPs with dual-modality imaging properties can serve as an attractive candidate for future cancer theranostics.
