摘要

In vivo fluorescent spectroscopy and imaging using endogenous and exogenous sources of contrast can provide new approaches for enhanced demarcation of brain tumor margins and infiltrations. Quantum dots (QDs) represent excellent contrast agents for biomedical imaging due to their broader excitation spectrum, narrower emission spectra, and higher sensitivity and stability. The epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) are overexpressed in high-grade glioma patients and thus a potential target for brain tumor diagnosis. In this study, we conducted fluorescence microscopy studies of the up-take mechanism of the anti-EGFR conjugated QDs by human U87 and SKMG-3 glioblastoma cells. Our preliminary results show that QDs can enter into glioma cells through anti-EGFR mediated endocytosis, indicating that these nano-size particles can tag brain tumor cells. In addition, the success of labeling frozen brain tumor tissue specimens suggests the possibility for enhanced optical demarcation of brain tumors with QDs in vivo.
