In Vivo Targeting and Imaging of Atherosclerosis Using Multifunctional Virus-Like Particles of Simian Virus 40

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death globally. Targeted imaging and therapeutics are desirable for the detection and treatment of the disease. In this study, we developed trifunctional Simian virus 40 (SV40)-based nanoparticles for in vivo targeting and imaging of atherosclerotic plaques. These novel trifunctional SV40-based nanoparticles encapsulate near-infrared quantum dots and bear a targeting element and a drug component. Using trifunctional SV40-based nanoparticles, we were able to noninvasively f… Show more

“…In 2013, Marrache and Dhar prepared synthetic HDL‐based NPs that contain apolipoprotein‐mimetic peptides for targeting the plaque, quantum dots for NIRF imaging, and triphenylphosphonium cations for detecting collapse in mitochondrial membrane potential . In 2016, Sun et al engineered Simian virus 40 (SV40)‐based NPs containing NIRF‐emitting quantum dots, fibrin‐targeting peptides, and hirulog anticoagulant molecules (Figure C). By encapsulating quantum dots inside SV40‐based NPs, the authors achieved higher brightness, photostability, and detection sensitivity in deep tissues than using unmodified quantum dots.…”

“…Requiring more extensive bioengineering, the encapsidation of guest proteins is an exciting area with applications in advanced vaccine design [13], cytotoxic protein delivery [14] and genome editing [15]. Encapsidation of inorganic cargos such as quantum dots [16] and metallic cores offer opportunities in molecular imaging. A range of MRI and positron emission tomography agents have also been delivered by VLNPs [17].…”

“…It follows that the encapsidation of therapeutic or diagnostic cargos can be, and has been, combined with external functionalization in some of the examples previously mentioned [5,8,10,11,14,16]. The flexibility afforded by some VLNPs for dual modification means that both genetic and chemical modifications can be combined to create sophisticated, targeted nanoparticle delivery vehicles.…”
