Abstract

This study is undertaken to design a novel nano-sized delivery system of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) which has a suppressed thrombolytic activity of t-PA, but recovered the activity only when exposed to ultrasound. Various amounts of ethylenediamine were chemically introduced into gelatin (cationized gelatins) to complex with t-PA. To modify the surface of complexes with polyethylene glycol (PEG), PEG was chemically grafted to the anionic gelatin (PEG-gelatin). The simple mixing with the PEG-gelatin enabled the t-PA-cationized gelatin complex to form a nano-sized delivery complex with PEG chains on the surface. The t-PA activity of PEG-modified complexes was significantly suppressed to be 45% of original t-PA. However, when exposed to ultrasound in vitro, the t-PA activity was fully recovered. A cell culture experiment demonstrated no cytotoxicity of PEG-modified complexes. The body distribution study indicated that the half-life of t-PA in the blood circulation was prolonged about 3 times. In a rabbit thrombosis model, the intravenous administration of PEG-modified complexes followed by ultrasound irradiation resulted in complete recanalization, in remarked contrast to the complex administration alone. It is concluded that the PEG-modified complex is a promising t-PA delivery system to enhance the biological activity at the site necessary only by a local ultrasound irradiation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
