Tumor targeting studies using metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have shown that the enhanced permeability and retention effect may not be sufficient to deliver the amount of intratumoral and intracellular NPs needed for effective in vivo radiosensitization. This work describes a pH-Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) targeted theranostic agent to enable image-guided NP-enhanced radiotherapy using a clinically feasible amount of injected NPs. Conventional gadolinium (Gd) NPs were conjugated to pHLIPs and evaluated in vitro for radiosensitivity and in vivo for mouse MRI. Cultured A549 human lung cancer cells were incubated with 0.5 mM of pHLIP-GdNP or conventional GdNP. Mass spectrometry showed 78-fold more cellular Gd uptake with pHLIP-GdNPs, and clonogenic survival assays showed 44% more enhanced radiosensitivity by 5 Gy irradiation with pHLIP-GdNPs at pH 6.2. In contrast to conventional GdNPs, MR imaging of tumor-bearing mice showed pHLIP-GdNPs had a long retention time in the tumor (>9 h), suitable for radiotherapy, and penetrated into the poorly-vascularized tumor core. The Gd-enhanced tumor corresponded with low-pH areas also independently measured by an in vivo molecular MRI technique. pHLIPs actively target cell surface acidity from tumor cell metabolism and deliver GdNPs into cells in solid tumors. Intracellular delivery enhances the effect of short-range radiosensitizing photoelectrons and Auger electrons. Because acidity is a general hallmark of tumor cells, the delivery is more general than antibody targeting. Imaging the in vivo NP biodistribution and more acidic (often more aggressive) tumors has the potential for quantitative radiotherapy treatment planning and pre-selecting patients who will likely benefit more from NP radiation enhancement.
The error-related negativity (ERN) is a negative deflection in the electroencephalography (EEG) waveform at frontal-central scalp sites that occurs after error commission. The relationship between the ERN and broader patterns of brain activity measured across the entire scalp that support error processing during early childhood is unclear. We examined the relationship between the ERN and EEG microstates - whole-brain patterns of dynamically evolving scalp potential topographies that reflect periods of synchronized neural activity - during both a go/no-go task and resting-state in 90, 4-8-year-old children. The mean amplitude of the ERN was quantified during the - 64 to 108 millisecond (ms) period of time relative to error commission, which was determined by data-driven microstate segmentation of error-related activity. We found that greater magnitude of the ERN associated with greater global explained variance (GEV; i.e., the percentage of total variance in the data explained by a given microstate) of an error-related microstate observed during the same - 64 to 108 ms period (i.e., error-related microstate 3), and to greater parent-report-measured anxiety risk. During resting-state, six data-driven microstates were identified. Both greater magnitude of the ERN and greater GEV values of error-related microstate 3 associated with greater GEV values of resting-state microstate 4, which showed a frontal-central scalp topography. Source localization results revealed overlap between the underlying neural generators of error-related microstate 3 and resting-state microstate 4 and canonical brain networks (e.g., ventral attention) known to support the higher-order cognitive processes involved in error processing. Taken together, our results clarify how individual differences in error-related and intrinsic brain activity are related and enhance our understanding of developing brain network function and organization supporting error processing during early childhood.
